A fact that does not yet prevent developments on this topic
Recommended both inside and outside the sporting field, creatine goes far beyond simple energy recovery, i.e. it preserves lean mass and fights sarcopenia. Furthermore, the article available in the journal Current Developments in Nutrition states that creatine works in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s.
The power of creatine in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s
This work analyzed that animal models of Alzheimer’s demonstrated encouraging results where creatine supplementation improved the overall bioenergetics of the brain and positively influenced this disease.
Despite this recent discovery, the remaining potential benefits of creatine supplementation for human Alzheimer’s patients have not yet been explored in clinical trials.
The review suggested that creatine supplementation could emerge as a potent therapeutic target. We have seen its role in maintaining the flow of energy in the brain.
Ultimately, this review highlighted the need for well-designed clinical trials to understand the depth of creatine’s role in both the potential treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s.
Disease data
Alzheimer’s is the most prevalent neurodegenerative disease in the world, affecting up to 6.5 million older adults in the United States. Another point is that there are projections that estimate an increase to over 15 million by 2050. And that in Brazil 1.2 million people live with this disease.
