Short transcript excerpt from a talk arguing that many older Americans (55+) are clinically dehydrated and that creatine supplementation—an endogenously produced molecule—helps muscles trap and store water, supports mitochondrial function, and aids in neutralizing free radicals. The speaker frames creatine as a natural nutrient with systemic benefits for hydration and cellular health.

Do you know that over the age of 55, 90% of Americans are so dehydrated that they have no longer the sensation for thirst? If you are one of those people that can go an entire day without drinking a single glass of water and your body doesn't remind you you are so clinically dehydrated, you are physiologically suffering as we speak. This is what I love about nutrients and supplementation from the right sources. When we take it from what nature gave us and we put it in our bodies, it actually has profound natural reaction. Creatine is one of those. Our body makes creatine, and when you're defic in creatine, your muscles can't trap water. You have nothing to hold and store the water. So if you actually have enough creatine in your muscle, you will have the raw material, hydrogen and oxygen, that your mitochondria need to function at their most efficient way and that the rest of your body needs to neutralize free radicals.
