Creatine Builds Lean Muscle and Strength in Adults 45–65, Texas A&M Trial Finds
Key Takeaways
- A 12-week Texas A&M trial published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition studied 64 healthy adults ages 45–65.
- Participants took either 10 grams of creatine monohydrate or a placebo daily, and chose whether to join a structured exercise and diet-induced weight-loss program.
- Non-exercisers taking creatine gained about 2.4 pounds (1.1 kg) of lean tissue and improved leg press and bench press strength.
- Adding creatine to three-times-weekly resistance and aerobic training produced greater strength gains and improved time to exhaustion.
