I used to think creatine belonged in gym bags next to shaker bottles and pre-workout powder.
Turns out, it might also belong in neurology clinics.
In a recent 8-week pilot study, researchers gave people with Alzheimer’s disease 20 grams of creatine monohydrate daily. Their blood and brain creatine levels increased— and so did their scores on several cognitive tests.
No control group. Small sample size. But the brain changes were measurable.
It’s early. It's small. But it’s also hopeful.
Because what if something cheap, common, and safe—could help protect the brain as it ages?
That’s not just a story about supplements. That’s a story about second chances.
Creatine might help preserve more than just muscle.
I mix creatine into my morning coffee or smoothie—here’s the one I trust for its A+ purity and quality (Amazon).
Curious how it supports women specifically? Read this post.
Fact, no fluff - Heather
A tantalizing preliminary feasability study. FWIW, I wouldn't take any supplements, all of which are unregulaed by the FDA, if they aren't independently verified as to purity and potency by reputable organizations such as USP and NF.
Just ordered some. Thanks for the information. I'm curious to see what happens!
