How creatine benefits Athletes:
Creatine is the top supplement for improving performance in the gym. Well documented studies show that it can increase muscle mass, strength, endurance and cellular hydration.
Additionally, it may help also lower blood sugar and improve brain function. (3)

Creatine also helps you gain muscle in the following ways:

• Boosted workload - It enables more total work or volume in a single training session, a key factor in long-term muscle growth.
• Improved cell signaling - It can increase satellite cell signaling, which aids muscle repair and new muscle growth.
• Raised anabolic hormones - Studies note a rise in hormones, such as IGF-1, after taking creatine.
• Increased cell hydration - Creatine lifts water content within your muscle cells, which increases cell volume that may play a role in muscle growth.
• Reduced protein breakdown - It may increase total muscle mass by also reducing muscle tissue breakdown.
• Lower myostatin levels - Elevated levels of the protein myostatin can slow or inhibit new muscle growth. Supplementing with creatine can reduce myostatin, increasing growth potential.

Creatine helps your muscles produce energy during heavy lifting or high intensity exercise. It is produced naturally from your kidneys and liver and then 95% of that is stored in your muscles. Athletes often take creatine supplements to enhance strength and improve performance, but the elderly and vegetarians can also benefit. Here's how...

How creatine benefits the elderly:
Creatine supplements also increase phosphocreatine stores in the brain, which may promote brain health and improve symptoms of neurological diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The first pilot study to look at the effects of creatine on people with Alzheimer’s or dementia was conducted by the KU Medical Center of the University of Kansas, where they found a positive correlation between cognitive function and the use of creatine amongst patients who met clinical diagnosis for dementia. Please see the full report for more details linked below (links 1+2).

How creatine benefits vegans/vegetarians:
The most natural consumption of creatine is through the digestion of red meat products, and of course this isn't on the menu for vegans nor vegetarians. There are many nutrients that you guys can supplement for due to this dietry requirment but creatine is often overlooked - looked upon as purely a gym supplement. But vegans and vegetarians can include this in their diet for just a one scoop in a drink a day and you too can take full advantage of all of the benefits listed above. "Creatine is naturally found in most meat products; therefore, vegetarians have reduced creatine stores and may benefit from supplementation." - National Center for Biotechnology Information. (4)
