Video Description

Creatine is widely recognized for its muscle-enhancing effects, but emerging science reveals its powerful role in protecting and optimizing brain health—especially under conditions of cognitive stress, aging, and sleep deprivation. While conventional supplementation advice suggests taking around 5 grams per day, compelling new research indicates that higher doses (up to 25 grams daily) can significantly offset cognitive impairment due to sleep loss, fatigue, and metabolic stress. In this clip, Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Darren Candow discuss: • Why stressed brains benefit most from creatine supplementation • Why brain aging accelerates demand for creatine • Why 10g per day might be the optimal creatine dose • How high-dose creatine immediately boosts cognition when sleep-deprived Watch the full deep-dive episode on creatine here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ICsO-EHI_vM Read the detailed summary of the full episode with studies: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/darren-candow Read the FoundMyFitness creatine topic page: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/creatine Pair creatine with proven protocols for maximal exercise performance—grab your free training guide at https://howtotrainguide.com/
