54 year old male moderately active...I lift 2 days a week, ride 3 days a week, walk/yoga another day each week...Been reading some things on Creatine. Anyone have experience with it?

I think I tried it for a while. I don't think it helped me, have you ever tried pickled beets, they really seem to make a change for me. .... honestly!

I do. It helped me little bit on weight training and muscle maintenance. It's not night / day difference but just little on the muscle "pump" you would get when lifting weight. If you can find it cheap, it's worth a try. Many outlets charge different price / oz so shop around, i.e. Amaz...n.

Creatine had it's big day back in the early 2000s (or maybe before that - I forget). Some reported benefits for weightlifting, while others saw nothing. As a benefit for endurance sports like bicycling, nada.

30 years ago I took creatine citrate for muscle mass when I still cared about that kind of stuff... It worked, but I would say it actually hampered my cycling abilities.

54 may qualify for older adult. Creatine can provide a number of other health benefits for older adults.

Make sure you're hydrating properly, as creatine tends to make you feel a bit thirsty. If you're considering stronger stuff, you can buy steroids in Canada. Stick with proven, safe supplements and maintain a good diet and training regimen.
