Creatine plays a significant role in promoting longevity, particularly through its impact on muscle and cognitive health. By enhancing ATP production, creatine supports cellular energy, which is essential for maintaining muscle strength, endurance, and recovery. In the brain, creatine provides neuroprotective benefits, aiding mitochondrial function and supporting neurotransmitter balance, which may slow cognitive decline. These effects make creatine a vital nutrient for sustaining both physical and mental health as we age, contributing to improved quality of life and resilience against age-related decline.
