Creatine - Fact vs. Fiction

Creatine – Fact vs. Fiction

Once misunderstood, now one of the most well-researched and trusted supplements out there - creatine is no longer just for bodybuilders.

Yes, creatine helps build muscle, boost strength, speed up recovery, and support ATP (cellular energy) production. But here’s where it gets even more exciting…

Emerging research shows creatine may also support brain health.

Because the brain demands so much energy - especially under stress, with age, or after injury - creatine may help with cognitive function, focus, and even recovery from events like concussions or strokes. It’s currently being studied for potential use in conditions like Parkinson’s, ALS, and dementia.

This goes beyond gains in the gym. It’s about preserving strength, mobility, and mental clarity as we age.

Creatine is:

• Not a steroid

• Not harmful to kidneys in healthy people

• Not linked to long-term bloating or cramping

• Potentially helpful for mood, energy, and brain function

And a quick personal note: I started taking creatine about two months ago. I wasn’t sure what to expect - but I’ve noticed more energy during workouts and in everyday life. I think I’m even sleeping better and feeling more focused. Pretty cool!!!

While I can’t prescribe supplements, I can keep sharing the science so you feel empowered to make choices that support your strongest, sharpest self.

To strong bodies and sharp minds - cheers and love!!!
