#2Effects seen at .35g/kg and .2g/kg. Both pretty big doses. Which is not uncommon for creatine for a single day, but ongoing dose is typically lower.
I’ve taken creatine for exercise recovery and possible cognitive improvements when I was a vegetarian. Never perceived it to do anything.

#5I'd be quite curious to see this combined with [transcranial] photobiomodulation - a two-pronged approach to healthy mitochondria might pay healthy dividends.
For those hearing about PBM and feeling skeptical, I was as well, especially with all the claims of therapeutic "red light therapy" circling the internet. But do a quick search in pubmed and you will see that at this point there have been thousands of studies exploring the use of PBM (808-1064nm)
I quickly found these two which relate to sleep quality:

If anyone is interested in PBM I gave an overview presentation a few months ago to a lab studying noninvasive neurostimulation, I would be happy to send it your way.

I would indeed be interested!

#7Every post about creatine wants you to drink an absurd amount of it. I tried it for 3 days and ended up with a level of diarrhea that I’ve previously never encountered without being sick

Maybe even a Tell HN post?

I haven't experienced anything on the standard 5g/day. I've taken 20g/day saturating for a week straight before too and nothing there either, although by that point there is a bit more "taste" in the liquid. Same taste imo as a pure caffeine tablet, oddly.

I've noticed a difference in energy, small but present. Maybe 20% more reps before failure. Seems to match expectations from the literature.
