@menshealthmag: God the internet CANNOT shut up about creatine. “Creatine will hulk you out so hard you’ll be able to bench press an entire gym,” says Fitfluencer Francisco. “Creatine will hyper-focus your brain, supercharge your energy, and make you blast searing beams of energy out of your eyeballs yeah just like Cyclops from X-Men,” says Nootropics Nate. “Creatine is Source,” says Wellness Wendy. But can we all just calm down a second? Yes, decades of research have shown that supplementing daily with creatine monohydrate—when paired with exercise and proper nutrition—can improve exercise performance and help build strength and muscle. And, yes, new research is drawing links between certain cognitive benefits (memory, attention, even information processing speed) and creatine supplementation. Except these studies on creatine and the brain are SO NEW, the research is often conducted on patients with certain pre-existing conditions, and we’re way way far away from any kind of scientific consensus. So, for now, take creatine for the workout benefits, if you want. That stuff is proven. And take the rest of the affiliate marketing sales pitches with a pinch of monohydrate crystals. #supplements #creatine
