The AMA and Creatine
After last week, you may be thinking I’m going to talk about another healthcare professional dissing supplements. I’m very pleased to say that’s not correct this time around. You can read the article by clicking here; I wouldn’t recommend listening to the audio version—seems like an AI voice to me.
The first thing that blew me away was the sponsorship: the American Medical Association. I’m not used to the AMA even acknowledging supplements exist except to caution patients to be very cautious using them. Great change.
According to the title, there are nine facts patients should know about creatine. I think the first was the most important: taking creatine in conjunction with a weight training program will increase muscle mass over time. I agree completely. The age range goes from 20 to 80; for people over 40 and facing a continual decline in muscle mass over time, that’s important information to know.
I’ll cover the rest on Saturday, including the question never asked in many studies on dietary supplements.
What are you prepared to do today?
