Far less known, however, is that creatine can also increase muscle strength in people over 55, in combination with muscle-strengthening exercises. Maintaining good muscle strength is one of the most important considerations for healthy aging. And it is great that creatine can contribute extra to this, in addition to regularly doing your exercises, which is naturally the most important thing. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of at least 3 grams of creatine.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause creatine is so widely used, there are several providers of creatine supplements. Unfortunately, the quality of the creatine offered is not always consistently high. Vitals has therefore chosen Creavitalis®, very pure creatine monohydrate from the German manufacturer Alzchem. Creavitalis® is the micronized (refined) version of their widely known and acclaimed Creapure®. Alzchem's creatines are therefore most frequently used in scientific research because their quality and purity are unrivaled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEffects of creatine\u003cbr\u003eCreatine is a molecule naturally found in all vertebrates. The name creatine comes from the Greek word 'kreas', meaning meat. Creatine plays a key role in the cell's energy metabolism. As a result, it mainly occurs in tissues that consume a lot of energy, such as skeletal muscles. Creatine is a semi-essential nutrient. The body can produce creatine itself in the kidneys and liver from the amino acids arginine, glycine, and methionine, but this is not always sufficient to meet the demand. Therefore, it is also necessary to get some creatine through food.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreatine in food is always of animal origin. It is particularly found in meat, fish, and poultry. People who eat vegetarian or vegan diets therefore generally have a lower intake of this nutrient. Creatine in supplements is not from animal sources and is therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreatine can be converted into creatine phosphate (CP) in muscle cells under the influence of the enzyme creatine kinase. The phosphate group can then be linked to ADP (adenosine diphosphate), which forms ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the most important energy carrier in our cells. Taking extra creatine to contribute to energy delivery via CP is especially interesting for short and high-intensity efforts, such as strength training and sprint training.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to contributing to physical performance by supporting energy metabolism, creatine as a supplement also plays a role in enhancing the effect of resistance exercises on muscle strength. Maintaining muscle strength is particularly important for people aged 55 and over. Therefore, it is very sensible to do muscle-strengthening exercises several times a week.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCreatine monohydrate is the most common form in which creatine appears in supplements. This is the form that appears to be most effective and is best absorbed by the body. A disadvantage of creatine monohydrate is that it does not dissolve well in aqueous liquids. To improve this, the German manufacturer Alzchem has developed a so-called micronized creatine monohydrate, with the brand name Creavitalis®. 'Micronizing' is a manufacturing process in which particles are made extra small to an order of magnitude of micrometers (one millionth of a meter). This ensures greatly improved solubility in water, which has advantages for the user. Creavitalis® from Alzchem has the same impeccable purity and quality as their trusted Creapure®, and is just as effective. The powder also has a very neutral taste, so it can even be taken with just water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaims\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e- Creatine stimulates muscle growth during explosive power efforts*\n- Creatine increases physical performance in successive series of short, high-intensity exercises*\n- Creatine can be used by athletes with increased needs*\n- Daily use of creatine can increase the effect of strength training in people over 55 years**\n\n* The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams (= 3000 mg) of creatine in combination with high-intensity training. \n\n** The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams (= 3000 mg) of creatine in combination with at least three times a week resistance training with an intensity of at least 65%-75% of the maximum strength an individual can exert in a single movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\"\u003e\t\u003ctbody\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per scoop (3.4 grams):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eCreatine monohydrate (Creavitalis®)\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e3400 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e   of which creatine\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e3000 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\"\u003e\t\u003ctbody\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per 2 scoops (6.8 grams):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003eCreatine monohydrate (Creavitalis®)\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e6800 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e   of which creatine\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\t\u003ctd\u003e6000 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003eCreavitalis® is a registered trademark of Alzchem Trostberg GmbH specifically developed for healthcare products.
