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...

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

We know creatine is awesome for muscles and performance, but it’s also good for your brain 🧠 A new study showed acute improvements in cognitive function from just a single high dose of creatine monohydrate Also… it doesn’t harm your liver It doesn’t harm your kidneys There’s no evidence it causes hair loss It doesn’t cause subcutaneous water retention For some people it can cause GI irritation. For these folks, doing multiple smaller doses throughout the day rather than a single dose may help Creatine is the most effective, tested, safe supplement on the market today 🤷🏼‍♂️

Taking 10 grams of creatine daily may boost brain creatine levels twice as effectively as lower doses (like 2-4 grams) While 5 grams saturates muscles, research shows higher doses (i.e., 10 grams) allow creatine to "spill over" into the brain, improving mental clarity and energy Rhonda has personally noticed that at 10 grams daily, her typical mid-afternoon energy crash disappears Creatine isn't just for muscles; your brain needs it too

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.

When your brain is under stress, that's when creatine supplementation is most effective Unlike your muscles, your brain creates its own creatine and limits external uptake through a strict blood-brain barrier. But when faced with sleep deprivation, aging, or intense mental stress, the brain opens up—allowing supplemental creatine to boost memory and cognition Research suggests high doses—around 20 grams daily—are most effective at rapidly increasing brain creatine stores under these conditions

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.

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 they claimed. Gummies are often a bad delivery system in general, not just for creatine. Manufacturing heat and processing can degrade sensitive compounds and reduce biological activity. You’re also paying for sugar, fillers, and convenience, not potency. Plus, if you’re aiming for a meaningful daily dose (e.g., 10–20 g/day), that’s a lot of gummies. Creatine monohydrate powder is still the gold standard for those who want to supplement.

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.

Timing your creatine isn’t essential—but cycling it might be a mistake. Precise timing around workouts doesn’t drastically change results. But if you want to optimize absorption, taking it within an hour before or after exercise could help due to increased blood flow and nutrient transport from muscle contractions. What’s essential (and often overlooked) is consistent daily use, because fully saturated muscles allow creatine to benefit other tissues like your brain and bones. The ideal dose? 10g/day is probably best.
