When most people think of creatine they think of a supplement for bodybuilders that aids in muscle size, strength, and endurance. Though these are very true outcomes it is also a major factor in feeding the brain with energy.
For proper brain functioning and to stave off neurodegenerative disease energy is needed at a consistent rate. Energy in the brain is usually produced by ATP. Creatine aids in the utilization of the energy without the availability of oxygen.
With an increase of phosphates in the brain after 2 weeks of continuous supplementation with creatine it might be a beneficial nutrient for people with depression and schizophrenia disorders as well as those effected by cocaine and opiate abuse.
There are other ways to get more creatine into your diet without supplementation. Messages me the phrase “Brain Diet” for more information.
