Automatic summary · not editorially reviewedIn this conference description, Professor Sergej Ostojic links creatine to cellular energy and muscle function in older adults, mentions preliminary telomere findings and announces a planned 24-week study of DoNotAge® Performance. [1]
The description says the creatine-phosphocreatine system acts as an energy buffer helping every cell regenerate ATP. [1]
The description states evidence that creatine supports muscle mass, strength and physical function in older adults, particularly with exercise. [1]
The description calls telomere findings encouraging but preliminary and announces a planned 24-week study measuring telomere length. [1]
Creatine as an energy buffer beyond sport
According to the description, Ostojic is a Professor of Nutritional Sciences at Texas Tech University and a new member of the DoNotAge.org Scientific Advisory Board. Drawing on more than two decades of creatine research, he explains that the creatine-phosphocreatine system acts as an energy buffer helping every cell regenerate ATP. The description frames this as relevant far beyond sport. [1]
Muscle evidence and preliminary telomere findings
The description says ageing challenges cellular energy, from declining muscle mass to a brain more vulnerable to energetic stress. It states there is evidence that creatine supports muscle mass, strength and physical function in older adults, particularly when combined with exercise. It also calls findings from his research encouraging but preliminary that long-term creatine supplementation may influence telomere biology. [1]
Planned 24-week study of DoNotAge® Performance
The description announces a planned 24-week clinical study in older adults on DoNotAge® Performance. It says the study will measure telomere length alongside physical, functional and metabolic outcomes. The description does not report results, and it does not state whether the study has started or been completed. [1]
