Creatine and Longevity: How HormoneSynergy® Supports Muscle, Brain, and Healthy Aging
Creatine: The Cellular Powerhouse for Longevity and Strength
As early as age 30, adults begin to lose 3–8% of their muscle mass each decade. This process — sarcopenia — leads to reduced strength, slower metabolism, and decreased independence. At HormoneSynergy® Clinic, Dr. Kathryn Retzler incorporates creatine monohydrate as a foundational nutrient for muscle preservation, brain energy, and overall vitality.
Unlike sports-marketed creatine products, HormoneSynergy® Creatine Monohydrate is a pharmaceutical-grade, clinically tested form designed for purity, solubility, and efficacy — ideal for longevity-focused adults, not just athletes.
Why Creatine Is Essential for Aging Well
Creatine serves as a rapid energy reservoir within muscle and brain tissue, helping cells regenerate ATP — the body’s primary energy currency.
With age, natural creatine stores decline, impairing both physical performance and cognitive function.
Clinical research demonstrates that daily creatine supplementation can:
-
Preserve muscle mass and strength during aging and inactivity
-
Improve cognitive processing speed and memory
-
Enhance exercise tolerance and recovery
-
Support mitochondrial energy metabolism and neurological resilience
By combining creatine with hormone optimization and adequate protein intake (such as UltraMeal Advanced Protein®), HormoneSynergy® helps patients build stronger bodies and sharper minds through all stages of life.
Key Benefits of HormoneSynergy® Creatine
-
Pharmaceutical-grade creatine monohydrate for optimal purity
-
Clinically backed 5 g serving to maintain muscle mass and power output
-
Supports brain function and neuroprotective energy balance
-
Unflavored & micronized for easy mixing into shakes or smoothies
-
Vegan-friendly and non-GMO — ideal for daily longevity support
Each scoop provides the clinically validated dose shown in human studies to improve muscle retention, energy, and cognition — making it a cornerstone nutrient in Dr. Retzler’s evidence-based Longevity Program.
Creatine + Hormone Optimization = Longevity Synergy
Hormone optimization and creatine work hand-in-hand. Testosterone, growth hormone, and IGF-1 play major roles in muscle anabolism and repair.
When paired with creatine’s ATP-recycling power, patients experience improved exercise performance, lean mass retention, and cognitive clarity.
Dr. Retzler’s Longevity Medicine Program personalizes these therapies for men and women in Portland, Lake Oswego, and nationwide seeking to extend both lifespan and healthspan.
How to Use
Mix one scoop (≈ 5 g) with water, a protein shake, or your favorite beverage once daily.
For optimal results, pair with resistance training and consistent protein intake.
May be taken alongside Metagenics UltraMeal Advanced Protein® or post-workout smoothies as part of your daily HormoneSynergy® longevity protocol.
Conclusion
Healthy aging depends on maintaining cellular energy, muscle integrity, and cognitive sharpness.
HormoneSynergy® Creatine Monohydrate, recommended by Dr. Kathryn Retzler, offers a safe, proven, and essential foundation for building strength, focus, and resilience at every age.
