And the muscular gains from creatine are pretty astounding. I finally started taking it 4 years ago and it was crazy.

In a protein shake? In coffee? Just mixed with water?

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.

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?

I get it that the anecdotal conclusion is positive, but I found this: https://efsa.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.2903/j.efsa.2024.9100

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?

*during sleep deprivation

Same. You get the jug with the Creapure lab tested stuff?

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 th...

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.
