SANE Tip - Creatine: A Staple Supplement?
Yes—for most healthy adults. Tiny daily habit → meaningful mental & physical performance and recovery gains.
What it is: A helper for quick energy (ATP) in muscle + brain, which means you can do a little more quality work.
Why it helps:
- Stronger sets: more reps/speed at the same weight
- Lean mass: steady muscle gain with consistent training + protein + sleep
- Less drop-off: more repeatable effort late in workouts
- Brain & mood: emerging evidence shows it supports memory/processing speed under stress and be helpful for mood (anxiety/depression) for some (not a treatment)
How to use it:
- Type: Creatine monohydrate
- Dose: 3–5 g once daily (any time)
Myth check: It doesn’t dehydrate you and, at regular doses, it’s safe for healthy adults. (If you have kidney issues or are pregnant/breastfeeding, ask your clinician.)
Tiny daily habit = compounding results.
