Whilst creatine is a well-known supplement for bodybuilding, Huberman explains that he takes it primarily for its cognitive benefits.
Specifically for its ability to help modulate and support the brain networks involved in focus and concentration.
He takes 5 grams per day of creatine monohydrate – mixing the powder into whatever he is drinking at the time.
In terms of timing, he takes it in the morning, or after his workout, it depends when he remembers.
