Regenerlife -Creatine Monohydrate, 600 g

Regenerlife Creatine contains a purified, micronized source of creatine monohydrate to increase the body’s lean muscle mass when used in conjunction with a resistance training regimen. Creatine is a naturally occurring compound made primarily from the amino acids arginine and glycine. It is stored within muscle cells as phosphocreatine, where it helps replenish the body’s energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) during quick bursts of physical effort.

Starting as early as age 50, muscle mass and muscle strength can begin to decline. Strength and resistance training is recommended as part of a healthy aging regimen. One contributing factor to the decline in muscle mass and strength is a natural decrease in the body’s ability to make and store creatine. Supplemental forms of creatine can support older adults who want to maintain their active lifestyle by improving physical strength and performance in repetitive bouts of brief, high-intensity physical activity, like HIIT training.

Creatine is part of the Regenerlife healthy-aging line of supplements formulated for whole-body rejuvenation and longevity. Each serving provides 5 g of high-quality creatine monohydrate that has been rigorously tested for purity and potency. This non-GMO, vegetarian, and vegan-friendly formula uses micronization technology, making it easier for your body to break down and absorb. The neutral-tasting powder also dissolves quickly in water, making it easy to take. This formula is a fantastic supplement for aging individuals who want to promote muscle health and longevity.

How it works

Creatine is mostly taken up by the muscles, where it combines with a phosphoryl group for conversion to phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine serves as an energy reserve that can be used to sustain muscle energy in the form of ATP during intense physical effort.

Increasing the concentration of creatine and phosphocreatine in the muscles enhances exercise capacity. By enabling the muscles to physically perform more work before depleting energy stores, creatine helps build muscle mass and strength more efficiently (Kreider et al., 2017). It also increases anaerobic energy capacity and reduces the breakdown of protein within muscles (Kreider & Stout, 2021).

Creatine promotes muscle recovery after physical activity by helping to restore muscle glycogen levels and lowering levels of inflammation (Kreider et al., 2017). By coupling with ATP in the cell’s mitochondria, creatine contributes to antioxidant activities that reduce the formation of reactive oxygen species (Kreider et al., 2017). Creatine may also shield mitochondria from oxidative stress, leading to a protective effect against aging-related inflammation and muscle damage (Candow et al., 2019).

Increasing brain creatine levels contributes to enhanced brain bioenergetics through its role in ATP regeneration in the brain. By reducing mental fatigue, creatine improves aspects of cognition, executive function, and memory (Kreider & Stout, 2021).
