Actually there have been several studies recently on higher dosages of creatine. Look into it.

Crap raises creatinine levels, I avoid it.

You are correct deadz, creatine does raise creatinine levels. But this usually is not a problem.

Creatine is a popular energy-boosting supplement and natural amino acid derivative, whereas creatinine is the waste product that is naturally formed when your body uses creatine. Using creatine does not harm the kidneys but can cause misleading serum creatinine tests which measure kidney function. If you use creatine be sure to mention it to your physician prior to having your labs done. Kidneys are the body's natural filtration system. Similiar to the liver's function which is also your body’s primary natural filtration and detoxification system.

Thanks Chaos, I will do that. I used to take creatine regularly when I was hitting the gym on a regular basis. My long-term memory is fine, but I believe my short-term memory has diminished somewhat in recent years. My energy levels are also not as high as they were previously, and Creatine helps with this too.

I do take a shitload of supplements daily, all of which are touted to be good for people’s health, both mental and physical. Amazon loves me and my multiple supplement subscriptions.

Yes, there has been a lot of buzz of upping the creatine to 10g+ daily for cognitive benefits.  Definitely check it out.  Good luck.

Thanks for the "good luck" wishes.

Maybe if I take the correct amount of creatine, I will remember not to leave my keys/fob in the car at the market like I did yesterday. Fortunately, I realized this within a couple of minutes and quicky retrieved them before someone stole my car.

I would take me 20g+ to not forget stuff like that.

Yes, most people forget stuff all the time, as I have in the past and it had nothing to do with being old. But, when you are old, like I am, forgetting something like where your keys are takes on a different meaning. Short term memory loss is often blamed on old age and cognitive decline.
