Taking creatine preventatively may help accelerate recovery for individuals involved in contact sports or those concerned about potential head trauma.

“20 grams per day for a week the equivalent in in both rats and mice before a traumatic brain injury is significant in neuroprotective that kind of dose and time periods so something like 20 grams a day for a week has been shown to significantly increase brain creatine levels by doing something like magnetic resonance spectroscopy you can point an MRI scanner at the brain and you can see the levels of creatine in it”

“that's why again I think for me and again it's it's opinion but we've seen some data to suggest that 10 grams might be a good viable dose”

“instead of waiting till you get hit why not take the preventative role”

“if you're in contact Sports creatine should be taken on a daily basis because unfortunately if you do get hit in the Roden model when because you can't do this as in humans but when they've actually forced concussion in rodents taking creatine beforehand the recovery symptoms are really accelerated and in the only single human study was in children as soon as these people in Scotland got head trauma they put them on 0.4 grams of creatine per kilogram so about 20 these are just children immediately and over six months these children that were taking creatine had substantial improvements in self-care and efficacy”
