For years, I avoided creatine because I thought it caused bloating or made you look heavier. Like many people, I dismissed it as a gym supplement and never bothered to understand what it actually did for the body and brain. A year ago, I started taking it consistently, and it changed everything. I’ve lived with ADHD most of my life, and the mental noise can be exhausting. Fatigue used to hit me hard, especially late in the day. Since taking creatine, that fatigue has almost disappeared. My thoughts feel sharper, I recover faster, and my brain finally feels steady instead of scattered. That’s why I’m sharing this, for awareness. The impact goes far beyond physical performance. Your brain runs on ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the body’s main energy currency. It powers every thought, emotion, and memory. Creatine helps regenerate ATP, giving your brain a stable energy source and reducing that foggy, drained feeling so many of us push through daily. 🧠 A few things most people don’t know about creatine and brain health: - It supports memory, focus, and mental stamina, especially under stress or lack of sleep. - It can help reduce mental fatigue and improve mood in people with ADHD, anxiety, or burnout. - Vegetarians and vegans often have lower brain creatine levels, since it mostly comes from animal foods, making supplementation especially beneficial. - It helps buffer brain acidity, protecting neurons from stress and fatigue. If you rely on caffeine to think clearly or to avoid a crash halfway through the day, the problem might not be focus, it might be energy. ❓Community Reflection❓ Have you tried creatine for your brain or only for training? If not, what’s held you back?
