What is creatine?
 
Your body uses creatine as a source of energy for cellular processes. About 95% of your body’s creatine is stored in muscles. The other 5% is stored in the brain and other organs. 
 
Your body makes a small amount naturally, and you can get additional creatine from your diet. Plant-based foods don’t contain creatine, so you’ll only get it if you eat seafood, meat, and dairy.
 
Even then, you might not get enough. 
 
A 3-oz serving of salmon only contains ~0.4 grams of creatine, and the average person needs ~2 g a day. 
 
For enhanced cognitive benefits, the ideal amount may be even higher. Studies show supplementing with 5 g of creatine supports focus and memory in addition to muscle strength.*
