More on Supplements and “Natural”

I am taking a supplement that has really helped me. It's Creatine, I talked it over with my three doctors and my oncologist is on Creatine. Do your research and ask your doctors!! They will give you advice. Creatine is given to body builders. I am 74 and no body build but wanted to recover from Chemo and having a hard time getting over brain fog and fatigue, also had lots of bone issues while on chemo. I am 5 weeks out from last chemo treatment and I am beginning to feel like my old self again. It is wonderful, but don't take my word for it. Do your research and make sure this is right for you.
Real sea sponge to exfoliate dead skin, works
Hydrating shampoo, to keep hair coming back healthy giving it moisture.
Eye drops for my dry eyes, yes even your eyes suffer Relief is what I use.
These last three things have made my lack of hair, feel great, and skin getting rid of dead dry skin cells makes your skin feel great!
Good Luck with everything!

Why did you decide to take creatine, and why is your oncologist on creatine? Basically, what were the specific symptoms which you were trying to impact and which ones were impacted. In what way do you find that creatine helps you "feel like your old self again"?
It is used by body builders to help supply energy to muscles, for improving strength, power and muscle mass. Plus, people take creatine supplements to build strength and some to promote brain health.
Plus, are you taking creatine monohydrate?
In terms of side effects what I see for older adults is presented by this geriatrician:
Kenneth Koncilja, M.D., a geriatrician at Cleveland Clinic says that: “The largest concern regarding creatine supplementation in older adults is renal (kidney) function,”.
