Rhonda Patrick: Does creatine have benefits for kids?
Peer-Reviewed Research
Key Takeaways
- Give kids creatine at 2.5g/day to improve sports performance (agility, etc.) and support brain health.
- Use protein powder occasionally for convenience, especially when meals are skipped or time is limited.
- Avoid protein powders with emulsifiers, as they may harm gut health with frequent use.
Supplements & Protocols Mentioned
- Creatine: 2.5g daily for children.
- Momentous protein powder: Used as a convenient protein source (no emulsifiers).
Notable Quotes
“You don’t want to give them too, too much creatine, but I think 2.5, maybe a little above that, is within the safe range.”
Bottom Line
Consider supplementing kids with 2.5g creatine daily for physical and cognitive benefits, and use clean protein powder (like Momentous) when needed.
