I have started taking #creatine in the morning, either in my coffee or in orange juice. It supposedly helps with muscle recovery and even memory. Both of which I can use all the help I can get. It’s a tasteless powder that you mix with a drink. I wonder if or when I will notice anything? I am not very attuned to my body, so it’s hard for me to tell if this actually does anything. Anyone else out there trying creatine?

Haro sur la créatine

En publiant, il y a quelques semaines, un avis concluant en substance à l'inefficacité quasi totale à petites doses et à la dangerosité potentielle des apports massifs de créatine à des fins dopantes (Le Monde du 25 janvier [2001]), Martin Hirsch, directeur général de l'Agence française de sécurité sanitaire des aliments (Afssa), a déclenché une controverse aussi vive qu'inédite.

Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism cleared by the kidneys. Blood creatinine levels help assess kidney function: elevated levels suggest reduced filtration.

Creatine is having a viral moment for mitigating sleep deprivation.

Maybe some folks with Long COVID or ME/CFS will be interested in this paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-54249-9

Our outcomes show that administering a high single dose of creatine can partially reverse metabolic alterations and fatigue-related cognitive deterioration.

At 0.35 g creatine/kg body they found:

Creatine significantly reduced fatigue

and

The crucial factor appears to be the increased energy demand of the neuronal cells in combination with an increased extracellular creatine availability

This was a small but high quality study in 2024.

Single dose creatine improves cognitive performance and induces changes in cerebral high energy phosphates during sleep deprivation - Scientific Reports

The inverse effects of creatine supplementation and sleep deprivation on high energy phosphates, neural creatine, and cognitive performances suggest that creatine is a suitable candidate for reducing the negative effects of sleep deprivation. With this, the main obstacle is the limited exogenous uptake by the central nervous system (CNS), making creatine only effective over a long-term diet of weeks. Thus far, only repeated dosing of creatine over weeks has been studied, yielding detectable changes in CNS levels. Based on the hypothesis that a high extracellular creatine availability and increased intracellular energy consumption will temporarily increase the central creatine uptake, subjects were orally administered a high single dose of creatinemonohydrate (0.35 g/kg) while performing cognitive tests during sleep deprivation. Two consecutive 31P-MRS scans, 1H-MRS, and cognitive tests were performed each at evening baseline, 3, 5.5, and 7.5 h after single dose creatine (0.35 g/kg) or placebo during sub-total 21 h sleep deprivation (SD). Our results show that creatine induces changes in PCr/Pi, ATP, tCr/tNAA, prevents a drop in pH level, and improves cognitive performance and processing speed. These outcomes suggest that a high single dose of creatine can partially reverse metabolic alterations and fatigue-related cognitive deterioration.

I did a test recently, where I stopped taking my creatine monohydrate (no flavor, nothing added, 3-5g/day) and noted how I felt. Long story short - I felt like shit. Less energy, and it was harder to wake up again from any type of sleep.

So I got back into taking it and tadaa - I can wake from naps again WITHOUT an alarm. It feels like strange magic. (:

Hands down the best thing I have done. No idea why it works in reducing sleep inertia, but damn am i happy it does.

Creatine timing is mostly noise. What drives results is keeping your muscles saturated over time. #creatine #strengthtraining

I was featured in The Independent discussing the creatine “pink tax”. Same ingredient, higher price, more feminine branding. If you’re buying creatine, look for 100% creatine monohydrate and keep it simple.

It was a pleasure to be a guest on Mental Health Break with Dr. Sekandari, Clinical Psychologist 💗

We talked about what is really happening in perimenopause and menopause and why so many women feel like they are not themselves.
