Works for me at 49, like it did many years back... I am not sure if creatine can tell our age by ingestion.

[TODAY]

Creatine works by raising levels of ATP, which is the primary energy carrier in the human body. A 40-year old body doesn't suddenly stop using ATP and creatine should therefore still be effective.

That being said, the effects of creatine are pretty subtle, so you may have reached a point where you simply no longer notice the effect.

Was it monohydrate? Every other form is pretty much snake oil. You dosing correctly?

I forget the brand, but I know one particular brand of creatine monohydrate worked really well from the 1996 up until they banned prohormones in supplements around 2004 or so. I took that with the Animal Pak vitamins, which were also alleged to contain prohormones.

In recent years, I tried Optimum's Creatine Monohydrate, and well, it felt as though I was literally pissing it away. I ended up with some out of range lab work that pointed towards kidney failure because of it, and ended up throwing the rest in the trash.

yeah its monohydrate i followed the doseage on the bottle like i did when i was younger it worked then ill try it again and see how it goes i might have done something wrong its been almost 10 years since i used it ive been away from the game for a long time cause of back problems and back surgery

 

[startenover]

thats the same result i had bloodwork said my level was to high and it was effecting my liver

maybe you are expecting too much from it?
maybe when u took it back in the day your body, health, diet and training were more on point
maybe placebo forst time.
like Today said it helps very subtle, minor, waste of money imo

Never responded to it at all at any age.

FD is 9/10 in accurately guessing the age of the guys he’s blowing at the glory hole; by ingestion.

 

[Gabriel]

Busted at the Glory Hole......................how do you come back from that...Possible worse than blowing a tranny...!!!

 

[Bro Bundy]

its one of the only supps that actually works..I dont think age matters to its effectiveness

 

[Utm18]

46 and use it daily

After reading the thread title.. I though this was going in a different direction...
