What people say about Creatine and anxiety
“I actually feel a lot better. Mentally clearer and more balanced, like I have my brain back.”
“It puts me in a great mood. I feel more socially confident on it. But I get heavy memory loss on it at any dose. I tried the 20mg dose recommended for cognition. Major memory issues.”
