Beware of most creatine gummies. Recent third-party testing found that 2/3 of creatine gummy brands contained virtually no creatine, despite label claims. Several brands advertised 5 g of creatine per serving, but testing found most delivered <0.5% of the stated amount. Only two brands actually matched (or exceeded) what...

Creatine gummies are popular, but independent testing reveals a very large percentage contain essentially zero creatine During manufacturing, the heat used to make gummies often destroys active ingredients, making accurate dosing nearly impossible And even if they did contain the right amount, you’d have to eat an unrealistic number of them (along with a ton of sugar) to reach a basic 5–10g dose Stick to pure creatine monohydrate powder (~10g/day, ~25-30g for a cognitive boost when sleep-deprived)

I recommend creatine to nearly everyone. But here are my caveats: 1. Make sure it's creatine monohydrate - this is the form that's most well-studied and effective. You don't need a "fancy" form. 2. Beware of gummies. If you use them, make sure you're getting one that's been third-party tested and contains the stated amount of creatine (many brands do not). 3. Look for an an NSF certification. This will help avoid heavy metals and other contaminants you don't want. Clip is from my recent appearance on Jordan Harbinger show!

Dr. Darren Candow warns testing found 90% of creatine products had none. A scientist who's studied creatine for 25 years, he points to testing of off-the-shelf tubs. Most had no real creatine in them at all. "you got to do a little bit of homework." That's his advice before you buy. Look for three marks on the label: Creatine monohydrate, not fancy forms The CreaPure source from Germany A third-party seal like NSF Each one means an independent lab checked the tub, for what it claims and for contaminants like lead. Without those marks, he'd tell you to leave it on the shelf. You can walk out of a store holding a creatine tub that never held any creatine. — Dr. Darren Candow on Steven Bartlett's (.Steven Bartlett) Diary of a CEO podcast

Creatine is for Brain Power, not Just Muscle Power A New RCT just dropped looking at creatine hydrochloride (HCl) and creatine ethyl ester (CEE) on cognitive outcomes (PMID: 40854087). Researchers gave perimenopausal women 8 weeks of either low-dose creatine HCl (750 mg or 1.5 g / day), a blend of HCl + CEE, or placebo. 👉 The 1.5 g HCl group showed small but significant improvements in reaction time and even a ~16% increase in frontal brain creatine levels on MRS scans. The HCl + CEE combo didn’t outperform HCl alone. All forms were well-tolerated and there were no serious side effects. The results add to growing evidence that creatine supports cognition—not just strength, hypertrophy, and power—but let’s keep perspective: ⚠️ Creatine ethyl ester has consistently underperformed in bioavailability studies. Multiple head-to-head trials show it’s rapidly degraded to creatinine in the gut and fails to meaningfully raise muscle creatine compared to creatine monohydrate (PMID:19228401). Creatine HCl seems to dissolve better in water and some anecdotal reports claim it’s easier on digestion for some people, but so far there’s no solid evidence it improves muscle or brain creatine stores beyond what you get with monohydrate. Bottom line: this study is promising for the cognitive benefits of creatine overall, but it doesn’t change the main recommendation Creatine monohydrate is still the gold standard. It’s the form used in hundreds of human RCTs, proven to raise muscle and brain creatine, and it’s cheap. Until stronger data show otherwise, save your money and stick with monohydrate.

Creatine dose, benefits & safety from Dr. Rhonda Patrick: - Standard muscle dose is 5 g/day of creatine monohydrate - the most well-researched form - but muscles are "very greedy" and consume most of it before it reaches the brain. - Getting creatine into the brain requires higher doses: one German study found that at 10 g/day, MRI scans showed creatine levels rising in key brain regions above what the brain produces on its own. - Creatine shines under brain stress - sleep deprivation, intense cognitive work, travel fatigue. One study gave sleep-deprived subjects 0.35 g per kg bodyweight (roughly 20-25 g) and they performed not just at baseline but above it. - The phosphocreatine system has a frontal bias - the brain areas most associated with strategic planning and working memory rely on it most heavily. "It's one of the most well-studied supplements out there. If it was unsafe, we really would know." Dr. Rhonda Patrick on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

Creatine is probably not harming our kidneys. Studies using doses up to 11 grams per day for a year have found no harmful effects on kidney, liver, or cardiovascular markers in healthy people. Yet the “creatine ruins your kidneys” myth refuses to die. Even some healthcare professionals still repeat it. Creatine breaks down into creatinine, which shows up on blood tests. If you supplement with creatine, your creatinine levels can go up, but that doesn’t automatically mean your kidneys are failing. It often just means… you’re taking creatine. If you take creatine and your lab work shows elevated creatinine, it’s often a false alarm, not a sign your kidneys are shot. A more reliable marker of kidney function to use when taking creatine is cystatin C. Creatine has plenty of debates around it. But at this point, in healthy people using reasonable doses, “it wrecks your kidneys” shouldn’t be one of them.

Use creatine to protect your brain from head injuries: Repeated head injuries can lead to second-impact syndrome, where a subsequent injury before full recovery causes rapid and potentially permanent brain damage. This is a significant risk for athletes, military, or anyone prone to traumatic brain injury (TBI) or concussions. But here's the good news: research has shown that creatine supplementation can help mitigate the damage caused by second-impact syndrome. In fact, studies have found that creatine depletion prior to additional impacts can worsen the damage to your brain. So, what should you do? If you do experience a head injury, it's essential to replenish your creatine stores as quickly as possible. Creatine monohydrate is a good option, as it's the most researched and widely used form in studies, and it's also one of the most affordable and available options. Creating a regular creatine supplementation routine can be beneficial for overall health and wellness, regardless of your risk level for head injuries. You can obtain creatine through both food sources and supplements. While it is possible to get creatine from food, particularly from meat sources (which contain around 400-600mg of creatine per 100g or 3.5oz serving), it can be challenging to achieve the high dosages needed through diet alone. Most studies on creatine monohydrate for brain injuries have used high dosages of around 20g per day, which is significantly higher than the typical dosages used for performance benefits. As a preventative measure, a daily dose of 5-10g may be sufficient for most people. However, if you know you'll be at risk of exposure to head impacts, you may want to increase your dosage to 20-30g per day for a week, split into multiple doses. Remember, the primary goal should always be to minimize the number of head impacts and injuries in the first place.

Creatine is not just for muscle. At the right dose, it may meaningfully support brain energy too. About 5 g/day is enough to keep muscle stores saturated, but research suggests around 10 g/day may be needed to meaningfully increase brain creatine. Doses used during sleep deprivation (around 0.35 g/kg body weight, often landing near 20–30+ g) have been shown to blunt or even reverse cognitive deficits under extreme stress. If you supplement, creatine monohydrate is the most studied form, and choosing an NSF Certified for Sport product adds an extra layer of quality assurance.

Why I upped my creatine dose to 10 grams per day. I used to take 5 grams of creatine daily, which provides solid benefits for muscle strength and performance (when combined with resistance training). Recently, I increased my dose to 10 grams, and here’s why I made the switch. Research suggests that 10 grams of creatine per day may offer additional advantages, particularly for brain health. Studies show that this higher dose increases creatine levels in areas like the grey matter, white matter, and thalamus more effectively than lower doses, such as 4 grams, over an 8-week period. This is likely due to a "spillover effect", where excess creatine benefits the brain once muscles are fully saturated. While 5 grams is effective for physical performance, 10 grams seems to provide a broader range of benefits, including potential cognitive support and bone health. If you’re considering creatine supplementation and want to maximize its effects, a 10-gram daily dose could be worth exploring.

Creatine monohydrate has been the king for decades. Every few years some company tries to reinvent it with a flashy name and a bigger price tag and every time it turns out to be hype. The studies were done on monohydrate. The results were built on monohydrate. It works. Period. But here’s the real question. If monohydrate is the gold standard, can you make the gold even purer? That’s what nnbnutrition set out to do with PUREST Creatine. Not a new “form.” Not a gimmick. Just creatine monohydrate taken to another level of purity. The cleanest assay I’ve personally seen on a creatine raw material. Just the ingredient that actually builds strength, power, and muscle, produced to a higher standard.

Most of us have been taught that creatine is strictly for sports performance. The clinical data tells a completely different story. It's the most researched supplement on earth. Studied for nearly 200 years, but are we still missing the point? This is why I sat down with Dr Darren Candow. He is one of the world’s most published researchers on creatine and ageing. He’s published more than 175 scientific papers, over 115 of them focused specifically on creatine and longevity. I was shown the data on why muscle loss starts happening decades earlier than we think, the exact mistake millions of us make with protein as we get older and what the clinical evidence actually says about creatine for women, children, and brain health. We discussed things like: - 5 biggest myths about creatine. - Why creatine is no longer just for athletes. - What women need to know about creatine. - Is creatine is safe for children? - How muscle loss begins much earlier than most people realise. - The protein mistake many people make as they age. What blew my mind during this chat is how far the science goes beyond sport and that creatine might be one of the most misunderstood supplements in the world. But Darren’s research points to something much bigger… If you care about staying strong and independent as you get older, I think this conversation is worth your time.

Most of us have been taught that creatine is strictly for sports performance. The clinical data tells a completely different story. It's the most researched supplement on earth. Studied for nearly 200 years, but are we still missing the point? This is why I sat down with Dr Darren Candow. He is one of the world’s most published researchers on creatine and ageing. He’s published more than 175 scientific papers, over 115 of them focused specifically on creatine and longevity.

Creatine isn’t harming your kidneys The idea that it does stems from a common metabolic byproduct: creatinine When you supplement with creatine, some of it naturally metabolizes into creatinine (which standard lab tests flag as a possible sign of kidney dysfunction) So if you’re supplementing with creatine, higher blood creatinine is expected and harmless (it’s not kidney damage) For a much more accurate picture of kidney function, consider measuring cystatin C
