Fifty+ Essentials was born from necessity. Our founder, a competitive powerlifter for over 35 years, confronted a challenge at age 56: a sudden decline in strength despite years of consistent training. This personal struggle led to the discovery of a pivotal 2017 study that showed remarkable benefits of three key compounds—leucine, carnitine, and creatine—for those over 50. Frustrated by the lack of products catering to the aging demographic, our founder and his son, Colin, also entrenched in the fitness industry, embarked on a journey. Together, they developed LC2, a proprietary blend mirroring the exact formula studied, but enhanced with two great-tasting flavors. Our commitment is to empower those 50 and older to maintain strength and vitality, transforming challenges into triumphs.
