Supplements for muscle growth and strength

Supplements for muscle growth and strength, and for keeping them as you age. The foundation is strength training and reaching your protein; creatine, 3 g a day, adds to that.

First things first, before any supplement

What makes the biggest difference, and costs nothing.

Guide: training after 40
  1. Strength, 2 days or more

    That is the WHO recommendation. From 65 onwards, add balance and strength training 3 days a week.

  2. Reach your protein

    If you train, 1.4-2.0 g per kg of body weight a day; from 65 onwards, at least 1.0-1.2 g. Work out yours.

  3. Creatine, every day

    3 g a day, rest days included. No loading phase.

  4. Rest

    A single night without sleep lowered muscle protein synthesis by 18%.

How it works

Energy for short, intense efforts

In a set or a sprint, the muscle uses up its immediate energy, ATP, in a few seconds. Phosphocreatine recharges it. The creatine you take each day is stored in muscle as phosphocreatine.
