Creatine is often thought of in athletic contexts, but research also supports its relevance for aging muscle health. A review published in 2019 examined creatine supplementation’s effects on older adults and found that consistent intake can help increase muscle mass and strength, improve functional performance, and potentially reduce factors like fall risk and inflammation that are associated with aging.
As we age, the natural decline in muscle mass and strength (sarcopenia) can affect quality of life and independence. Regular creatine intake supports intramuscular creatine and phosphocreatine stores, which in turn feeds ATP regeneration - the same mechanism that supports athletes - but here applied to everyday strength and mobility.
Importantly, these benefits are linked to long-term, habitual use of creatine, not sporadic dosing. That’s another reason The Strong Stuff fills an unmet need: by embedding creatine into a daily seasoning habit, it makes consistent intake easy and reliable, so you can support your muscle health over years, not just weeks.
