I'm 78 and I resistance train pretty intensely five days a week (some weights - mostly machines these days). I've been taking ~5 mg creatine monohydrate consistently for several months now. Definitely made a noticeable difference in my muscle strength, mass and endurance. No negative side effects. So, everything you said.

Can you do a video on collegen peptides, , pill or powder form and benefits and non benefits, , , , 😊

I’m - 47 year old male, was in okay shape and started lifting weights again. Was pretty discouraged in the beginning as my workouts were pretty poor. Started taking creatine and wow, what a difference. I can really hit the weights hard now which makes me want to go to the gym more. I love the stuff!

You Docs crack me up! I just turned 60 and this video has been very helpful.

I'm 75 and I take Creatine. I was on testosterone supplement for 30 years until my endocrinologist took me off it because I had mild prostate cancer. I was desperate to find some energy boost as the lack of testosterone made me as weak as I was years ago before treatment. My muscles have gone into rapid decline and I have increased aches. So, Creatine has helped, albeit moderately but enough to keep going. I also take Citrulline which has a significant aid to blood flow health. I have had to give up sea kayaking while I adjust to the fall in energy, I hope to resume that soon, as it is a great way to exercise. So small benefits help a desperate man.

I'm 65, an avid cyclist, have done weight training for decades, and have been a vegetarian for about 8 years. I've been taking creatine monohydrate for about a month now, about 2-3 grams/day based on Dr. Greger's recommendation (see 'How Not To Age'). Two x 3/4 teaspoon dissolved in my tea every morning (dissolves instantly, with zero taste). I've noticed a big difference on my bike rides. In places where I used to get tired after a 50km ride I now feel fresh, and my recovery time is almost zero. Same thing in the gym. I've gained extra strength and recover almost instantly. Mentally I feel sharper too, and more alert. I'm not the type who likes taking any drugs of any kind, but after doing my research I decided to give this a try, and I'm very happy with the results so far, and I've experienced zero side effects.

Hi Docs! 741K.. still cheerleading for you to 1 million!

[beverlyharward]

Eat healthy, and I do mean healthy. Exercise- aerobics & weights, etc. Strength exercises. Keep moving, keep going. 💪. Do all you can. Thanks, Docs

I am 79 and work out regularly (pushups and dumbbell reps) with no supplements. I've always been on the skinny side and would like to put on a few more pounds. I've been hearing and reading about creatine as a supplement, and you guys have just given me the prodding to give it a try - very cautiously, of course. Wish me luck.

[blessedgraceindeed]

I just bought it today..was on sale... senior wanting more muscle 💪 tone. 😊Can u do video on protein powders so to get enough when u are 65+?

Another great vid Doctors. I do have to say, I have an eGFR below 59 at times (it varies between 57-69 over the last 17 years. I guess that's technically Stage one CKD, although thus far I have no symptoms, but I do have High Blood Pressure. I am on a very low sodium diet and eat only small portions of red meat😥 I get my eGFR and Creatinine tested every 6 months and see a Nephrologist every 2 years and is pleased with my numbers. I have had numerous kidney ultrasounds and a couple MRI's he says there's no actual kidney damage, so that's good. In regards to Creatine supplements he says it's one of those things that can benefit many, but for those with lower eGFR, and possible kidney disease, he says it's best to avoid it altogether, so I do.

Can you also make a video on whey protein? Love your videos!Thank you.

[nomehdrider]

I'm 65, and I've been weight training with my son for about 16 months. I've lost some weight and some bloodwork improvement in my last two checkups along with BP. My PCP recommends training and takes creatine himself and seemed to recommend I should consider it myself, so this is very helpful.

[gilbertferguson]

Agree with the docs. I am 80 and work out on a regular basis. I take a pre workout drink along with creatine, and definitely have more energy.

[alansnyder]

I'm 58 and swim 3 to 4 days per week. On those days I take about a liter-sized water bottle with creatine, whey protein, and collagen powder. It is filled with 2/3rd water, and 1/3 cherry juice. Cherry juice is supposed to reduce inflammation, but it is also a carbohydrate for a little energy too. That is the theory at least.

About a year ago I used to put in beet juice instead of cherry juice, but some people think that can lead to cancer. I don't know, but it caused me to switch.

I'm interested in hearing comments on the beet juice vs cherry juice in the water bottle.

[jaycohen]

Well done, thanks for the no B/S data, reviews and recommendations.

I’m 72 and my internist suggested that I take it. It caused really nasty diarrhea that was difficult to get over. After getting better, I tried t again at a very low dose with the same results. No more!

[cathybird]

Such a timely video! And a 70-year-old, I'm fighting muscle loss. I started taking creatine, and as well as my strength increase at the gin and out of it, My energy level has skyrocketed. I've been plant based for 6 years. So it was very interesting to hear another reason to take creatine.

[marksimon]

It makes me feel stronger, I been taken it off and on for 20 years

[leviefrauim]

After all the hoopla about creatine of late, I tried a cycle. Mind you, I'm 63 and have been lifting, jogging, martial arts my whole life, w/an emphasis on lifting. I still lift 6 days a week, often 'heavy.' So I tried a cycle of creatine to see how it would impact me and all it did was make me gain weight, like 5 lbs in a week. No greater strength, recovery, endurance, etc. No increased or sharper brain function either. Caveat emptor.
