The Most Underrated Supplement

The top supplement though of all of them by far… It has an incredibly strong safety profile, it is cheap, it is a simple form to get, has an important magnitude of effect, and is effective across multiple domains of physical health and performance. And because of that it is my crown jewel.
It is in my opinion, without question, the Michael Jordan of all supplementation. And that's creatine monohydrate. - Andy Galpin.
Hey, y’all. I’m like you. I’m hesitant about supplements. (or I forgot to take them).
But Galpin and Huberman can’t shut up about them. Examine.com also showed a lot of good evidence. So I think it’s time. Here are the proven benefits. of creatine:
Better cognitive performance
Better exercise performance
Better muscle growth
Better metabolism
Lower depression
No side effects
Very cheap
Very convenient
Note: I did not try it. These are Galpin’s words. But I do hope some random email pushes me to work on myself more😊. Oh wait!
Anyway, Creatine is just a basic powdered supplement you can find anywhere. You can mix it with your protein shake, coffee, or just water. Just a simple scoop that already fits into your day.
You only need 5 grams of creatine per day to optimize health, mental health, and performance. If you have a lot of muscle mass, you can go up to 10 grams per day and see some benefits.
So, if it suits you, try to get a pack of creatine this week. If you have time now, search online and choose a pack. It only costs $20 for 60 servings. So it’s pretty worth it.
And for you aspiring science geeks. Here are the supporting articles:
Creatine monohydrate is helpful. Feel free to try it out.
