He supervises the Aging Muscle and Bone Health lab in the University of Regina and serves on the editorial review board for the Journal of the International Society for Sports Nutrition.Creatine is a compound produced naturally in your body for energy, particularly when you go to do any explosive activities like sprinting or heavy lifting. That’s why creatine supplementation has a reputation for being taken by men in a gym setting to help increase performance and hold off fatigue and enhance recovery. But creatine is not jut for men, its for women too and you don’t have to lift weights in order to get the benefits of increased energy in the muscle, although exercise does help to support the effects of creatine. Groundbreaking research show that the benefits of creatine supplementation is not limited to the muscle and can help improve brain, cardiovascular and bone health making it an effective supplement for all round health and longevity.LOVE this EPISODE?
