What people say about Creatine and mood
“I actually feel a lot better. Mentally clearer and more balanced, like I have my brain back.”
“5-10 grams a day made my muscles fuller, I have less brain fog now, and im a better mood usually.”
“10g and I feel good, 15-20g and POW! Your head explodes. At 20g I feel euphoria and a sense of clarity and wellbeing.”
“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.”
