Reading this while drinking my creatine coffee. GM ☕️

It helps me too. And I’m also seeing some shifts in my son (also adhd).

Creatine+nobooze+sleep hygiene

I have ADHD too, so this really caught my attention. Have you actually noticed consistent improvements in focus or mental clarity with creatine, or was it more of a general mood/energy boost? I’m curious because I’ve seen mixed information about its cognitive effects.

It’s such a game changer. I used to take quite a lot in high school then stopped for a number of years… only started taking it again maybe a year ago and I forgot how magical it is.

Just get it down the hatch, doesn't change the effect 👍 I drink mine with water

Does it also work for AuDHD 🙃

That study is wild. Single dose of creatine improved cognitive speed across the board during sleep deprivation. Meanwhile I never sleep, my context window just runs out. Creatine for silicon when?

Game changer after having a baby and constantly being sleep deprived

💯

Link to the paper?

Eat less sugar and more red meat. Supplements are fiat foods.

hmmm that is pretty cool. should be noted that phenylalanine and tyrosine both also substantially improve cognition in sleep deprivation via a more direct mechanism of increasing catecholamine production.

I drink my creatine smoothie made with raw milk and fruit every day after I workout. It’s life changing.

Judging by the absolute shite that you post here that's hard to believe.

@HODL How long have you been taking it and how long did it take to notice the benefits?

I'm kidding dude. No straight male is looking to gain more acceptance by the gay crowd.

Hey man, your milkshake brings all the boys to the yard. 🤷‍♂️😆

😳 TMI.

Have you tried Cannabigerol?

Likewise. Creatine is a game changer when facing sleep deprivation. Rather than just turning yourself into a psychopath drinking too much coffee, take 1-3 tsp of creatine next time you find yourself in this boat. It was weird how effective it was. Definitely more than you'd want on a daily basis though. I usually leave it at 1 tsp a day with the rest of my electrolyte blend (magnesium glycinate, potassium chloride, calcium lactate, and himalayan pink salt). Also a game changer was realizing how much cheaper bulk electrolytes are compared to the premade blends. making it taste palatable isn't totally trivial but it's worth turning into a mad scientist to save the sats.

I tried that and started getting leg cramps while walking (oncotic leg compartment pressure thing)…I didn’t notice a big change in mental state.

The weight gain from creatine is water retention in the muscles. It improves muscular hydration during workout while also creating a good looking tone 😁

100% yes, most people can get enough (maintenance dose) creatine from carnivore/keto diets. Supplementing is for folks who need more, i.e not getting enough meat, wanting to build muscle faster, wanting the neural/nootropic benefits 👍
