One of the hallmark indications for aging is muscle mass loss. When we think of age-related muscle mass loss, we oftentimes think about sarcopenia and what we can be doing to offset sarcopenia. We want to maintain our muscles as we get older and we also want to support the underlying skeleton. I want to talk about a key amino acid that many people turn to when it comes to maintaining lean muscle mass and building strength.†

What creatine does for the body

Athletes and people who work out will frequently turn to creatine as part of their supplementation routine. But there are other benefits that go along with creatine besides that of just the support for the muscles.†   

One of the main ways that we look at our muscles as we start to get older is if we start to lose muscle mass. This is the coined term of sarcopenia. We now realize that creatine can do a very lovely job at trying to fend that off. It has this potential to counteract sarcopenia and that muscle atrophy that occurs throughout the aging process. One of the ways that it is actually doing this is through cellular energy production and helping to support the muscle cells.† 

We can also look at creatine as being a very important amino acid for so many other areas within the body, including the cardiovascular system. We have recognized that those who supplement with creatine actually have better lipid profiles. When you look at your total cholesterol, for example, research has been able to show that the creatine itself actually impacts the triglycerides in particular. If someone has elevated triglycerides, which is a circulating fat in the blood, taking creatine can be very helpful.†

We’ve also seen in clinical studies that with higher creatine intake, that results in lower homocysteine levels. Homocysteine is a direct indicator for vascular inflammation, which is certainly something that we always want to be able to avoid.†

Making sure you get this amino acid

Creatine can be found naturally in meat and fish, but you can also get it through supplementation. You can check out our Creatine Monohydrate Powder formulation. It is a really good formulation for anyone who has concerns with aging gracefully.†  

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH explains the important benefits that creatine can offer the body. She discusses various issues that people face as they age and how this amino acid can help combat them.†

Key Topics:

  • What is creatine and where is it found?
  • The impact of this amino acid on respiratory health
  • Studies on creatine

Today, I want to talk about a virus that has many different variants. It is one of the most common viruses out there that infects the most people and can potentially become incredibly lethal. This virus is called HPV.†

10 FACTORS THAT AFFECT THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, PART 1 – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 344. Listen Now>>

What is HPV?

HPV stands for human papillomavirus. Studies have shown that is linked to the development of certain cancers, such as cervical cancer and anal cancer. This virus is the most common sexually transmitted infection in the United States and throughout the world. Every single year, there are 25 million active cases of HPV and about 5.5 million new cases. There are over 100 different variants of HPV and because of this, certain strains of human papillomavirus are more detrimental to our health than others.† 

The problem with HPV is that certain strains can cause cancer in the cervix, penis, anus, mouth and throat. This virus can cause genital warts.†

Our immune systems are generally equipped to rid our bodies of this virus, but that’s not always the case. It depends on the strain we are infected with. This is why it is important to understand what we can be doing to mitigate any exposure to any of these 100 strains of human papillomavirus and avoid further problems.†

Factors that may contribute to contracting this virus

We have to acknowledge that having safe sex is first and foremost because we know this is the primary transmission for HPV. We also have to look at issues within the way that the body detoxifies, as well as methylation disorders. Researchers have been able to link folate deficiencies with a greater likelihood of developing cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer. Your B-vitamins are very important, so taking Methyl-B every day would be really wise.†

Vitamin E is also beneficial. Studies have shown that women with cervical abnormalities or cancer have low Vitamin E levels. When the researchers gave these women Vitamin E supplementation, it helped with cervical dysplasia. EGCG from green tea is another nutrient that is very targeted and has been studied in the setting of cervical dysplasia brought on by HPV infections.† 

These supplements can also support men who have HPV.† 

In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses human papillomavirus and the risks associated with it. She explains what HPV is and offers recommendations for supplements that can help protect the body from this potentially lethal virus.†

Key Topics:

  • Findings and statistics on HPV
  • Problems associated with this virus
  • HPV and cervical dysplasia
  • What can leave you more open to developing human papillomavirus?
