Story summary

Dr. Darren Candow, in a narrative review, argues that the traditional 5g daily creatine dose may be insufficient for optimal benefits.
The review suggests higher doses, such as 10g or more, could enhance brain function, bone strength, and muscular performance.
For effective results, especially in older adults and women, the recommended dose is 0.1g per kilogram of body weight, with adjustments during periods of stress.
