 Additionally, creatine supplementation has shown potential benefits for heart failure patients engaged in rehabilitation programs, though results vary across studies. While more research is essential, current findings suggest that phosphocreatine administration and possibly creatine supplementation may support heart metabolism and health, especially during ischemic challenges. {{#pmid:33572884|pmid33572884}}
-==Potential Health Benefits==
-Creatine supplementation has been associated with various health benefits which may contribute to its potential role in promoting longevity. Here are some of the potential benefits:
-===Cardiovascular Health===
-Creatine supplementation has shown promise in enhancing cardiac muscle performance. In animal studies, creatine restored ATP levels under cardiac stress conditions and reduced markers of heart muscle exhaustion. Human studies, although limited, have also shown promising results in improving cardiac performance in patients with chronic congestive heart failure.
-===Blood Sugar Regulation===
-Creatine supplementation has shown potential in managing blood sugar levels by increasing the body's ability to utilize glucose as metabolic fuel. This is particularly beneficial for diabetic individuals. Studies have shown creatine supplementation alongside moderate exercise improves oral glucose tolerance test results, indicating creatine's potential benefit in blood sugar regulation.
