I'm curious why you don't mention nitrates such as beetroot juice. A growing number of studies showing it helps increase nitric oxide thus helping improve endothelial health. This is especially important for postmenopausal women who lose the nitric oxide boost from estrogen. This recent study gets at how it helps before exercise https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/ajpregu.00150.2024?checkFormatAccess=true
I take 5g of creatine and I supplement my protein as needed to meet my daily target with divided doses. I am aware of the loading versus divided protein literature.
I know you can't endorse a particular brand, but can you say what brand of creatine that you use? And just generally, do you think there are supplement companies that are more reliable than others?
In your opinion is there any benefit for a healthy, 75 yr old male with no CV or BP problems and adequate protein intake (whole foods and whey) who exercises moderate to taking a creatine supplement
I do not agree about your view of not using co Q10 broadly in heart failure . A huge clinical trial will never be designed as it is not patentable . I have seen it help countless patients with heart failure. It improves their energy levels and walking distances.

Dr. Barrett, how much whey protein and creatine do you take and do you divide it into more than one dose per day?

Thank you Dr. Barrett.
