Just as in athletes, creatine may make your remaining muscle stronger. It also may slow the loss of nerve cells and thus slow the progression of the disease. Dr. Beal suggests two possibilities. One is that creatine, by increasing the available energy in brain neurons, helps prevent the effect of the loss of mitochondria and its resultant damage to the neuron. The second is that creatine may have a direct effect on mitochondria which are necessary for the health and survival of the neuron.
Creatine is sold as a powder, a gel, a fluid, a candy and as a creatine chewing gum.
I think so. If you take powder you must first weigh or measure the right amount and then get the creatine to dissolve in a fluid such as water or juice. Keep in mind that creatine in a fluid such as water or the acidic juice gradually denatures creatine into the waste product, creatinine. Secondly something must be added to the creatine to maximize its absorption from the blood into the cell. Commonly a carbohydrate is added to stimulate insulin levels that seem necessary for maximum cellular creatine levels.
