Story at-a-glance
- Creatine made arteries more flexible in older adults after just four weeks, improving blood flow and heart health without any exercise or diet changes
- After 28 days of taking creatine, high blood sugar levels dropped to healthier ranges and harmful blood fats decreased significantly
- Creatine helps blood vessels work better by providing energy to cells and supporting the production of nitric oxide that keeps arteries healthy
- In just one week, arteries became less stiff with creatine use, and blood pressure began showing signs of improvement
- People who don't eat meat may need creatine supplements since animal foods are the main dietary source, and your body make only about 1 to 2 grams per day
