Dan Neuman 🇨🇦<p>Two things that have helped my strength building in retirement are taking a caffeine pill (100mg) just before workout (or equivalent in liquid form), and 7g daily creatine.</p><p>The shot of caffeine gives me as much as 30% more repetitions, whereas the creatine has pushed the weights lifted by 15%. Creatine is a natural molecule that is used in cells for energy conversion. More creatine allows faster conversion when demand is higher. Of note is that creatine is also used in the brain, and there is some evidence that it can help with Alzheimer's symptoms, menopause, and possibly for depression. <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/StrengthTraining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StrengthTraining</span></a> <a href="https://ottawa.place/tags/Creatine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Creatine</span></a></p>

I've been trying it for a few weeks since my son started taking it (gym). I think I can definitely notice it in my recovery. And during hard runs, like fast uphill, I also notice that my muscles get significantly less sore.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/running" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>running</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/runnersOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>runnersOfMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/supplements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>supplements</span></a></p>

Dan Neuman 🇨🇦<p>Very interesting review of studies on the use of creatine supplements for female health.
