Importance of creatine metabolism in whole-body physiology. The creatine/phosphocreatine system is essential for the chemo-mechanical energy transduction of cells/tissues with high, fluctuant, and constant energy demands. - creatine is on my short list of supplements that I think most people (barring contraindications) should consider taking. Those reasons included: ⬇️ Depression risk ⬆️ Cognitive function in young and elderly ⬇️ Effects of acute sleep deprivation ⬆️ Cancer cell fighting ability ⬇️ Frailty in elderly (when paired with resistance/strength training) ⬇️ Fasting glucose and triglycerides - That particular post focused on outcomes and cited research to support those outcomes. This post is more focused on the modes through which creatine helps achieve those outcomes - From: Bonilla, D. A., Kreider, R. B., Stout, J. R., Forero, D. A., Kerksick, C. M., Roberts, M. D., & Rawson, E. S. (2021). Metabolic basis of creatine in health and disease: A Bioinformatics-assisted review. Nutrients, 13(4), 1238. - #creatine #musclemass #musclegrowth #brainhealth #brainfood #brainbooster #musclefood #muscle #gymmotivation #fitness #strengthtraining #depressionawareness #cognition #sleepdeprivation #motivation #healthylifestyle #lifestyle #healthy #health #exercise #evidencebased #exercisescience #nutritionscience #nutrition #workout
