For a long time, creatine had a pretty simple reputation: Take it if you want more muscle and strength. That's still a very good reason to take it. But it's becoming clear that the creatine conversation is much bigger than the weight room. Creatine is also stored in your brain, where it plays an important role in helping your cells rapidly regenerate ATP — the energy your cells need to function. That's one reason researchers are looking at creatine in areas that have nothing to do with bigger biceps. Brain energy and cognitive performance. Sleep deprivation and mental fatigue. Healthy aging and maintaining muscle. Women going through hormonal changes. The more you dig into the research, the harder it becomes to think of creatine as just a “workout supplement.” That's something Dr. Annette Bosworth — Dr. Boz — and I got into when she joined me on the Strong By Design podcast. If you watched Part 1 yesterday, here's Part 2. And if you missed Part 1, you can still jump right into this one. 
[WATCH: Creatine for the Brain with Dr. Boz — Part 2 →] This is why I've become such a fan of creatine for people who aren't necessarily trying to build huge muscles. As we get older, maintaining muscle, strength AND brain function all become more important. And creatine happens to be one of the most extensively researched supplements we have. That's also why we finally made our own. Critical Creatine is deliberately simple: 100% creatine monohydrate with 5 grams in every scoop. Nothing fancy. Nothing unnecessary. Just an easy daily habit that makes more sense to me the more I learn about creatine. [Make creatine part of your daily routine →] To a Stronger You, Coach Chris
