So, can this supplement improve our ability to think, remember and respond?<\/p>\n
And for me, and many others, will it help clear our brain fog, a catch-all term that describes an inability to think clearly, string a sentence together, and remember the simplest of things?<\/p>\n
For some people with serious post-viral conditions, brain fog can be longer term and potentially life-changing. If you have concerns, it is best to seek medical help.<\/p>\n
For most, brain fog is usually temporary and can happen because of an illness or certain types of medical treatment. For millions of women, it can be a symptom of the perimenopause, due to hormonal fluctuations.<\/p>\n
Katie Mansell believes creatine has helped in many parts of her life. The 46-year-old from Merseyside lifts weights, runs 30-40 miles a week, has a full-on job as the chief financial officer of a software company, and a busy home life with a teenage son and two dogs.<\/p>\n
“A few months ago, I was out of sorts. I was finding training really hard work and I was struggling to focus on things,” she says.<\/p>\n
“It was my friend who recommended it – she said it was a game changer.”<\/p>\n
Katie, who is also perimenopausal, started taking six grams of creatine a day three months ago, and is beginning to feel a difference. Her mood feels a bit lighter, she can lift heavier weights and the fog that had descended on her brain has started to lift.<\/p>\n
“I’ve got more motivation to do things, especially when it comes to training. I feel stronger when I’m lifting and bouldering, and I can also think more clearly.”<\/p>\n
Katie does caveat this – she’s also on magnesium supplements and has started on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but she’s confident that creatine is making an impact and will continue with her daily dose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"So, can this supplement improve our ability to think, remember and respond?
