@trainbloom: Creatine and… Depression? 🤔 We all know that creatine helps with muscle That’s because about 95% of creatine in the body is stored in your muscle tissue (duh 💪🏼) But did you know the other 5% is stored in the brain? 🧠 This small study (along with several others) is showing that supplementing with creatine monohydrate may impact certain pathways in the brain. And that when these individuals supplemented with 5 grams of creatine per day on top of starting an SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor), they got noticably better results compared to the group just taking an SSRI. Now this is a very small sample size, so we can draw absolutely no conclusions from this - especially when dealing such complex and dynamic problems like depression and mental health. But more and more research is being done on creatine and the brain, showing a potential impact on not just mood and depression, but different aspects of cognition, alertness, and even fighting mental fatigue (studies linked below👇🏼) It’s just extremely exciting/cool to see research heading in this area and more is being done to expand on these findings Now we have an idea that creatine might help with strength and power, endurance, heart health, mental health/cognition, healthy aging, bond health, and so much more I am tellling you, people will be taking this like a multivitamin in the future, regardless of if they lift weights or not ⚕️🌱 p.s. I am in no way affiliated to Bulk Supplements Creatine, it’s just the lowest cost/highest quality form you can buy that I’ve been using for the last 5 or so years Research:👨🏼‍🔬👩🏻‍🔬 Study from reel: PMID: 22864465 Creatine with Depression PMID: 17988366 PMID: 22864465 PMID: 21831448 Creatine with Alertness, Fatigue, Cognition & Sleep Deprivation: PMID: 11985880 PMID: 17046034 PMID: 16416332 PMID: 17185404 #FitTok #GymTok #Fitness #MentalHealth #creatine
