5. Creatine
Huberman has taken creatine since he was 17–18.
He takes 5–10g/day.
It helps him maintain/build strength, and he says it can enhance cognition when you're sleep-deprived or stressed.
His words:
“Creatine seems to work best.”
Andrew Huberman was just asked by Steve Barlett:
“If you could only take 5 supplements for the rest of your life, what would they be?”.
Here’s what he picked:
1. Magnesium
4. Alpha-GPC
Huberman takes 600–900 mg.
It increases choline → acetylcholine → which can increase focus.
His big reason:
Very few things increase focus and energy without hurting sleep.
He says Alpha-GPC can actually increase REM sleep.
