Have you heard the hype about creatine lately? Creatine isn’t just helpful post-workout; it’s helpful for brain health too. Backed by science, creatine is a powerful ally for your brain – supporting focus, clarity, and cognitive performance in both everyday life and high-stress situations.
At Active Wellness, we’re committed to bringing science-backed solutions to our members and partners. That’s why we’re spotlighting creatine, a supplement we believe deserves a place in many health and fitness journeys.
Why Creatine? More Than Muscle.
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound stored in your muscles and brain. Its primary job is to help regenerate ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the body’s main energy currency. Traditionally, this means more power and endurance in the fitness center. But ATP isn’t just for lifting weights—every cell in the body relies on it.
Here’s what the research shows about Creatine benefits:
✨ Brain Health
- Enhances working memory and mental performance
- Supports energy production in brain cells
- Improves clarity during stress, fatigue, or sleep deprivation
- May protect against age-related cognitive decline
💪 Strength, Muscle & Bone
- Boosts power, lean muscle growth, and high-intensity performance
- Helps preserve muscle mass and bone density as we age
- Aids recovery after workouts
🧠 Mental Health & Longevity
- Supports mood and neurological resilience
- Promotes mitochondrial health, a key factor in slowing cellular aging
