Take creatine monohydrate (3 to 5 g per day) to recharge cerebral energy and boost focus and memory (particularly during sleep deprivation), while benefiting from a supplement that is safe for healthy individuals.

Carla highlights a fascinating and scientifically grounded aspect: the role of creatine in brain energy. The idea that it helps overcome mental fatigue due to sleep deprivation is validated by randomized controlled trials (RCTs), such as the study by Gordji-Nejad et al. (2024) and work from the Jülich Institute of Neuroscience (2026), which show that a dose of creatine limits the decline in cognitive performance during periods of sleep deprivation. Regarding memory, a meta-analysis of controlled trials by Prokopidis et al. (2023) confirms a positive effect, although the research specifies that this gain is most notable in seniors or during peaks of intellectual fatigue. Finally, its safety is confirmed by a meta-analysis of clinical trials published in BMC Nephrology (2025), which shows no negative effects on the body's filtration system in healthy individuals. It is therefore a very solid piece of advice backed by high-level evidence.
