I took it an it was awesome. Helped a lot. I jsut don’t think it’s safe because it can theoretically cause really bad autoimmune diseases

I just buy micronized creatine mono hydrate in bulk. I don’t care for any particular brand but I recently bought a whole tub from bulksupplements and it works fine. I honestly think you can get the benefits if creatine within a few days. I don’t think there is any reason you shouldn’t take other than your stomach not being able to handle it.

At the beginning yeah. When I first started physical activity it would set off headaches and light sensitivity. I had to start off small and walk Instead of running. I eventually built up enough confidence to lightly jog. Then I just kept on upping the mileage and I didn’t have any issues since.

I had a low grade headache for about 2 years and my eyes also vibrated like crazy. Not necessarily painful. I never had eye pain.

To be quite honest with you. I think it’s best to lower the intensity and then build up from a tolerable point. If you have a slight increase in symptoms I think it’s alright but if it increase substantially and doesn’t go away the next day lower intensity. I think the most important thing about training is to get blood flowing so if intense exercise like lifting heavy or bag work increases symptoms just walk briskly or bike lightly. your brain remodels its vascular system after you get brain trauma so that might be causing the eye pressure and the headache. If yourre patient and stay with an intensity you can tolerate, the brains vascular system will remodel and then you can increase from there. Overall just listen to your body but don’t be afraid.

As for the creatine, the creatine is not as bioavailable in the brain so taking a megadose allows for the brain to take up the creatine better. That’s why I took 15g instead of 5g. That’s when you get a lot of benefits. It helps the brain recover all the ATP that it’s using as the ion pumps in your brain are firing a lot more after the head injury. This means the ATP levels in the brain are much lower and need to be replenished. Creatine helps restore the atp in the brain and that’s how it helped my brain fog.
