Can Creatine Give Traders a Mental Edge?

How a Popular Supplement Might Boost Your Trading

I should start this by saying I’m not a health expert; don’t listen to me.
​
Just a curious trader exploring different things and sharing them with you 🙂
​
​(Urgh I do hate having to add disclaimers to every single thing these days, whatever happened to personal responsibility…)
​
​Anyway…
​
Creatine is a widely used supplement, generally in the fitness industry.
​
It’s supposedly good for building muscle, recovering quickly, and generally improving performance.
​
But is it good for traders? It might be… let me share my findings.

Benefits of Creatine

​Emerging research has suggested that creatine may improve cognitive function, particularly in tasks that need quick thinking.
​
So of course my trading ears pricked up and I dug a bit deeper.
​
Apparently, taking creatine has these benefits for your brain:
​

  • Improved Short-Term Memory and Intelligence
  • Reduced Mental Fatigue
  • Stress and Mood Regulation
    ​

I don’t know about you but these seem ideal for an active trader!
​
And if you’re a gym goer too, then you might get a double benefit.
​
​Jacked and better monthly returns…​
​
​It seems like you can get creatine in powder form and gummies.
​
Anyway – it’s piqued my interest and I need to do some more digging, but I thought it was worth a share.
​
​Do your own research and all that good stuff, please.
​
​If you’re reading this and you are familiar with creatine, shoot me a reply with your opinion.

Should traders consider taking creatine, or is this a waste of time?
