This chapter explores the potential benefits of creatine supplementation on brain health and muscle function. It discusses a study showing that dietary creatine does not significantly affect brain levels, but emphasizes that vegans and vegetarians have lower muscle creatine levels compared to omnivores. It suggests that a minimal dose of creatine may be beneficial for bone health and recommends a daily intake of three grams for vegans.
