I'd be quite curious to see this combined with [transcranial] photobiomodulation - a two-pronged approach to healthy mitochondria might pay healthy dividends.
For those hearing about PBM and feeling skeptical, I was as well, especially with all the claims of therapeutic "red light therapy" circling the internet. But do a quick search in pubmed and you will see that at this point there have been thousands of studies exploring the use of PBM (808-1064nm)
I quickly found these two which relate to sleep quality:
If anyone is interested in PBM I gave an overview presentation a few months ago to a lab studying noninvasive neurostimulation, I would be happy to send it your way.
Every post about creatine wants you to drink an absurd amount of it. I tried it for 3 days and ended up with a level of diarrhea that I’ve previously never encountered without being sick
I haven't experienced anything on the standard 5g/day. I've taken 20g/day saturating for a week straight before too and nothing there either, although by that point there is a bit more "taste" in the liquid. Same taste imo as a pure caffeine tablet, oddly.

I’ve taken creatine for exercise recovery and possible cognitive improvements when I was a vegetarian. Never perceived it to do anything.
I’m 150ish pounds. 72 kg. Meaning .35g per kg is 25g.
That’s 5x what I take! Just 5g once a day.
So far on creatine: quite significant physical effects (I lift often too). Cognitive: very unclear, have to isolate away a million other things.
