472: Not Just Gym Creatine, This is LONGEVITY Creatine: Formulated To Support More Than Just Muscle | With Siobhan Mitchell
LONGEVITY with Nathalie Niddam
Creatine functions as a vital cellular energy recycler, donating phosphate groups to replenish ATP, the primary currency for brain and muscle activity. While traditionally associated with bodybuilding, its role in longevity is significant, particularly for aging populations facing mitochondrial dysfunction and declining energy production. Beyond muscle preservation, creatine supports cognitive flexibility, reaction time, and resilience against stressors like sleep deprivation or traumatic brain injury. Neuroscientist Siobhan Mitchell highlights that combining creatine with citicholine, alpha-ketoglutarate (AKG), and L-carnitine creates a synergistic effect, enhancing mitochondrial efficiency and cellular health. By addressing the energy mismatch that occurs with age, consistent supplementation helps maintain neuromuscular junctions and cognitive function, offering a practical, safe intervention for preserving physical independence and mental sharpness throughout the aging process.
