KIR With Jillian Michaels Hot Takes: Singing Creatine’s Praises: the latest miracle supplement

Performance Boost

Creatine is gaining attention for its significant impact on physical performance, particularly among athletes. Jillian Michaels highlights that creatine uptake in muscles enhances exercise performance and reduces muscle fatigue, allowing for more intense training sessions. She notes that supplementing with 20 to 30 grams of creatine daily can increase fat-free mass and endurance strength, making it a valuable addition to resistance training routines 1.

Without question, there have been numerous studies that have shown muscle creatine uptake improves exercise performance.

This supplement not only aids in muscle recovery post-exercise but also supports maintaining a higher training intensity, which is crucial for athletes aiming to optimize their performance 1.

   

Muscle Preservation

As we age, muscle loss becomes a significant concern, but creatine offers a promising solution. Jillian explains that creatine, when combined with resistance training, can slow down age-related muscle decline more effectively than resistance training alone 1. This combination is particularly beneficial for individuals over 40, as maintaining muscle mass is linked to a longer and better quality of life.

A meta analysis showed us that creatine supplementation in combination with resistance training can slow age related muscular decline compared to resistance training alone.

By incorporating creatine into their fitness regimen, older adults can enhance their muscle retention, supporting both longevity and overall well-being 1.
