I take creatine and as a postmenopausal woman I take vitamin D to support bone health.

I so appreciate this thorough review. I am curious what you think an optimal protein intake for older folks to avoid sarcopenia, either with or without resistance training. So many conflicting opinions out there!

Thanks for this piece, creatine definitely an interesting topic.

I read through this UK report which rejected a health claim for cognitive benefits at the 3g level: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uknhcc-scientific-opinion-creatine-supplementation-and-improved-cognitive-function/uknhcc-scientific-opinion-creatine-supplementation-and-improved-cognitive-function#conclusions

Is your read that probably a higher dose is required?

Or, creatine seems like it *could* help, and *perhaps* at higher doses to see effects, and it's largely safe, so worth consideration?
