Most people think creatine is just for bodybuilders trying to build bigger muscles. However, recent studies show that creatine is powerful for brain health. Your brain is one of the biggest consumers of energy in your body, and Dr. Gundry explains how creatine helps your cells recycle ATP, the energy currency that keeps them running. He breaks down why this matters for focus, memory, and mental performance, particularly under stress, and why creatine could be just as relevant to a 65-year-old trying to stay independent as it is to a 25-year-old chasing a personal record.

But how much creatine should you actually take? Dr. Gundry revisits the standard five-gram daily dose, explains why some people experience bloating, and discusses whether our needs might change as we get older. He also reveals a problem with the supplement industry that most people never think about: contamination, misleading labels, and expensive formulations that haven’t been shown to outperform basic creatine monohydrate.
So what should you look for before buying your a creatine supplement? Dr. Gundry explains why the simplest form may be the most proven, what third-party testing actually means, and which three things to check before choosing a creatine supplement.
Finally, Dr. Gundry shares why he created his own Myopeptide Complex, including the additional nutrients he chose to support muscle, bone, and heart health. He also explains an important distinction that changes how you should think about creatine: it helps fuel your muscles, but that isn’t the same as building them.
