How creatine improves your brain health.

You've probably heard about the benefits of creatine because it's good for muscle strength. But I'm into muscles and my brain and creatine is really good for your brain. A recent study just found that a single scoop of creatine can improve your brain. Scientists had sleep derived participants either take a serving about 20 grams of creatine or 20 grams of a placebo. People who took the creatine felt less tired and they performed better on cognitive tests. Even brain imaging found creatine caused chemical changes in the brain that increase processing speed and cognitive performance. Creatine is also a mitochondrial nutrient. It increases ATP production. Some people do what they did in the study, a loading phase. 20 grams daily for the first week, about 5 grams 4 times per day. But studies show that 5 grams per day is just about as effective. So you don't have to do anything complex. Take 5 grams of creatine via any means necessary every single day. You do get creatine if you eat red meat, which you should, you get about 1 gram in an 8 ounce steak. So you're probably going to want to supplement creatine. And if you're vegetarian, you definitely need to do it. It's easy to supplement creatine, it's super cheap and it's non negotiable if you're vegan or vegetarian. And here's a pro tip. If you dissolve the creatine in hot but not boiling hot water where it actually goes into solution, it works better than if you just stir it with a spoon. But but it works either way. Creatine also absorbs better if you take it with carbs. So if you're going to have some fruit, you're going to have some carbs. Put the creatine in warm water until it dissolves, drink it, eat the carbs and enjoy a brain that works better. Creatine is one of the highest ROI nootropics you can get.
