Abstract in brief

  • Creatine is a compound found in all cells of the body that may help improve muscle, bone, and brain health in older adults, especially since many do not meet exercise guidelines.
  • The review explores research on whether taking creatine supplements alone can boost muscle mass, bone strength, and brain function, even without regular exercise.
  • Since lifestyle changes like resistance and aerobic exercise are often not followed, creatine could be a useful alternative or supplement to support healthy aging.
