Creatine is best known for helping muscle building as it was made famous as a safe alternative to steroids 20 years ago. When I think creatine, I think of big bulky guys in the gym, but it turns out that it’s one of the most important supplements that my patients can take to support not only their muscles, but also their brain.
What is creatine?
Creatine is a natural component your body uses to supply energy to your muscles, your heart, and your brain. While steroids are hormones that can causes dysregulation of different systems in your body, creatine is more of a building block of energy production, and increasing intake does not negatively impact normal function of the body. It’s one of the most studied supplements, and has been proven to be safe for almost all of the population.
Who should be taking creatine?
People who want stronger muscles. People who want healthier hearts. People who want increased mental clarity. So basically… everyone.
When asking my current clients base if they are supplementing with creatine, I think it’s being SIGNIFICANTLY underutilized. Whether you’re trying to get better results at the gym or just trying to maintain muscle strength as you get older, creatine could help you hit your health goals in an affordable and easy manner.
Combine that with mental clarity, better short term memory, and less mental fatigue for healthy individuals, it seems like a no-brainer. See results in a few weeks of consistent supplementation.
Thorne
One thing that is difficulty when deciding to supplement is figuring out which brand to use. Do you just go to costco and grab the cheapest brand? Do you order off amazon? Do you risk spending more to get the same exact thing under a different label?
We carry the Thorne line because it is test 2x the standard to ensure that every product has exactly what it says on the label, and none of the common contaminants that come in cheaper supplements are present. It’s important to me that if I’m selling the product, it works the way it’s supposed to, and there are no additional substances that could be negative for the body. They have an extensive “NO” list to make sure that their products are always clean, which can be found HERE. Many people who have reacted negatively to supplementation previously see better results due to better ingredients and no garbage in the products.
I’m offering 10% off (normally $43 for 90 servings) this week. Hit me up if you have questions!
