As someone over 40 (and rapidly approaching 50!), I’ve started researching the long-term benefits of supplements beyond just "bulking up." While creatine is famously used for natural muscle growth, it’s actually one of the most scientifically researched supplements for cognitive health, mental clarity, and even protecting your body against age-related muscle decline. In this video, I’m laying out my starting point and my "Why." I talk about how creatine might help with everything from jetlag and sleep deprivation to maintaining lean speed for Muay Thai and boxing. I also address common myths—like the supposed links to hair loss or kidney issues—and share how my doctor is helping me monitor my blood work (specifically my creatinine levels) to ensure everything stays on track. Because I want to avoid the common side effects like stomach aches, I’m skipping the traditional "loading phase" and starting with a slow, 3g daily dose before moving up to my target. My wife is a vegetarian, and since creatine is naturally found in meat, I'm testing this out first to see if she should join me. I'll be checking back in 30 days to share the results, but for now, I want to hear from you: Have you used creatine for its mental benefits? Let’s discuss in the comments! ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Why I'm Taking Creatine 01:09 - Important Health Disclaimer 02:12 - Muscle Protection After 40 03:36 - Staying Lean for Muay Thai 04:50 - Creatine for Brain Power 06:20 - Benefits for Vegetarians 07:38 - Fighting Brain Fog & Jetlag 08:31 - Myths & Side Effects 11:24 - My Daily Dosage Plan 13:22 - Outro & Subscribe ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
