2 Supplements for Mature Men

Strength and muscle mass are two of the most important components for healthy living in older folks. If you don’t have strength, every activity is going to be harder than it should be. So you’ll be happy to know that there are two nutritional supplements that can help you build strength, no matter how old you are.

Canadian researchers divided their study participants – all of them older men – into three groups. One group received a placebo, another group received creatine (a supplement marketed as a muscle-builder), and the third group received creatine and protein. All of the men completed a 10-week strength-training program.

At the end of the study, both groups receiving the creatine increased body mass and muscle thickness. But the creatine-protein group had the greatest increase in lean tissue mass (5.6 percent) and the greatest increase in bench-press strength (25 percent).

So if you are looking to maximize your muscle gains – at any age – consider adding a protein-creatine supplement to your nutrition program.
