Victoria S. Dorsano recommends creatine as the top supplement for strength and brain health, backed by extensive research. Take about 5 grams daily, timing doesn't matter, and skip the loading phase if you want. It works for any strength athlete, not just bodybuilders.

First and foremost, we gotta give the number one spot to creatine. Creatine is one of the most studied supplements out there. It's really effective for strength performance, and now they're even finding for brain health. I've been using this one from Legion Athletics for a good while now, and I absolutely love it. It's micronized, so it dissolves really, really quickly in water, and I prefer the unflavored one so I can just mix it in anything. So how I take it, I take about one scoop, which is 5 grams daily. Some people do a loading phase. You don't really need to do that, but it just helps saturate your muscles a lot faster. I have a full video on creatine that I will link down below if you're interested in looking into that. Also, timing doesn't matter. You can take it with your workouts, without your workouts, any time of day. A common misconception a lot of people have about creatine is that they think it is just for bodybuilders. It's really just helpful for anybody doing strength training or explosive strength training. And like I said, they're also finding that there's pretty good impacts on brain health too.
