Creatine Expert: Creatine Is The Secret To Weight Loss
"There's 25 and here's 30. So a classic study was done last year when they gave 30 grams to a group of young individuals who volunteered to be sleep deprived for 21 hours. And that level of creatine increased creatine levels in the brain and it offset some of the negative effects."
Dr. Darren Candow, who has published over 120 papers on creatine, revealed that while healthy brains may need minimal supplementation, metabolically stressed brains from sleep deprivation require dramatically higher doses—up to 30 grams daily. This contradicts standard 5-gram recommendations and suggests most people in modern high-stress environments need far more than previously thought.
