This episode is brought to you by Important high quality creatine! I have long benefited from creatine for athletic performance and the gym, and now add it to my daily intake to enjoy the mental benefits as well. Experimental studies in Alzheimer’s patients have shown that supplementation can increase brain creatine levels in just 8 weeks, improving measures of memory, thinking, and attention. And a double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that creatine can restore aspects of memory and attention within hours in sleep-deprived adults. I use it Remarkable Creatine made with Creapure®, which is sourced in Germany and has very strict lab standards to ensure it is at least 99.9% pure. Also try Momentous’s Creatine Chews—pure chewable tablets with 1 gram of Creapure® creatine per chew—along with their whey protein isolate and magnesium threonate, all of which meet their same standards.
