Max Lugavere on creatine: recommends

Max Lugavere says creatine supports brain energy. In his 2026 Missouri Medicine paper, he cites meta-analyses showing modest improvements in short-term memory and mental fatigue, and he says the foods richest in creatine include beef, pork, salmon, and cod.

His stated reasoning is that creatine — whether obtained from animal foods or supplementation — is an underappreciated nutrient for cognitive function, consistent with his food-first framework that emphasizes animal-sourced nutrients like choline, B12, and DHA.
