Oddbean new post about login | logout If I ever forget and skip creatine for a day or two I can actually feel my brain function less effectively.
it's hard to remember on a rest day
Do you actually find that weightlifting helps with memory? This could make sense in some way. I listened to a podcast with a physician recently who was talking about a possible link between muscle mass and dementia
I more so meant I literally forget to take it because if I don't go to the gym I don't think about my supplements. 😝 Regardless, it would make sense to me that weightlifting or any intense physical exercise would improve brain function, it's like our making our bodies and mind do what they were designed to do 🤷♂️
I think that’s in your head man, afaik creatine saturation is around 2 weeks
Creatine, nicotine and exercise are key to ultra brain performance .
how do you consume your nicotine?
What’s your go to brand?
Usually just go with whatever is cheapest lol
Which would be Bulk Supplements
Do you think that’s a good thing? X
Yeah
Creatine is shit. Can’t tell if you are serious or not https://m.primal.net/KhUe.jpg
Why?
Because it’s chemical shit. And I love you. And you shouldn’t take it.
I take 5mg per day.
i hope you mean Grams :) 5mg of creatine is nothing
I have but I don't use it...Do I have to change my diet or anything ? Just mix it in my water in the morning ? Good to go ?
Yep just take it once a day that’s pretty much it

Once upon a time, my kidneys failed. The first thing the doctor asked me after I awoke (after passing out in the hospital lobby) was, "did you use creatine?" I hadn't. I was on dialysis for a month. Two years of physical therapy. Go easy on that shit.
Your doctor was a dumbass. Creatine is a very safe and effective supplement and has no adverse effect on kidney function.
Quite possible... two totally unnecessary operations. I think I was his guinea pig.

Interesting. I have been using creatine for many years, and whenever I take a break for a week or so, I don't notice much difference except for my muscles losing a bit of water. Does it make a significant difference for you during these days you don’t take the creatine?
Then you're not drinking enough water.
I drink a lot of water
Just stop being a hero man. 6.15🙄.
Like any normal person Big deal
I could gain weight eating 1000 calories a day if I’m taking 10g creatine daily
