What happens when middle-aged adults take creatine for 12 weeks? New study finds muscle gains even without structured exercise

A recent study found that creatine supplementation can increase lean muscle tissue in middle-aged adults. Participants aged 45 to 65 who took creatine gained muscle even without exercise. Those who incorporated exercise and a calorie-reduced diet showed even greater improvements in strength. Additionally, creatine helped preserve muscle during weight loss efforts while decreasing body fat percentage. This research highlights creatine's potential benefits beyond traditional athletic use.
