@thatguyoverthere yeah I could say the same of some subjects I'm into
from a brief flick through the Wikipedia seems there's a good base of evidence, the sense i get is that it just buffers the ATP cycle for intense exercise?
never sure about this stuff though, the line between marketing and science is blurred in supplement stuff, but looks like it's worth a crack
what's your background, if i can ask?

creatine is a critical part of our bodies energy system so it shouldn't be a huge shock, and cognitive benefits seem perfectly reasonable considering how dependent our brain is on effective energy pathways. When we expend energy, our body breaks down adenosine triphosphate (ATP) into diphosphate (ADP) and then eventually monophosphate (AMP) before finally just adenosine, but creatine-monophosphate can donate it's phospor when one is broken off in an energy transaction. Once AMP is converted to plain old adenosine it is shepherded off to the brain where it binds to the same receptors caffeine interferes with. When it binds you feel sleepy. I don't know, but it seems possible adenosine could be recycled in the brain more if there is enough creatine monophosphate around 🤷
Caffeine occupies the receptors and prevents adenosine from binding which prevents drowsiness. This is why after caffeine starts to wear off all of the energy you spent seemingly unaffected all of a sudden can have a toll.

wondering about the improvement in mental performance gym bros are always on about
>Creatine is reported to have a beneficial effect on brain function and cognitive processing
huh
>The greatest effects appears to be in individuals who are stressed (due, for instance, to sleep deprivation) or cognitively impaired
ah.
as my history teacher used to say, the weekend begins on Thursday because you can always get through Friday
there are many issue with British grammar schools but one can't deny they taught us the essentials
didn't have to bury myself in a hole after my last german lesson, guess I'm improving
the drier is objectively the most efficient place to store clothes
it unnerves me that you can have coding problems where someone experienced suggests a few opaque tricks and when it works they just shrug and say "yeah I dunno why it works"

STOP USING FLAVORED CREAMERS
COFE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO TASTE LIKE A HAZELNUT
YEARS OF FAVORING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for cofe additives besides milk and whiskey
Want a flavor in your cofe? You have one: it is cofe-flavored.
"Irish cream is like regular cream but Irish. Your cofe can taste like aftershave smells." - Statements dreamed up by the utterly Deranged.
LOOK at what food chemists have been demanding your Respect for all this time
(These are REAL flavors, sold by REAL companies.)

latin is a dead language because there is no consensus on translating anything complicated, there is just a process by which you assert a translation inevitably someone with bigger frontal lobes comes out of nowhere to tell you why you're wrong, until it happens to them, and so on into eternity. no one has ever concluded a latin translation argument.
