    The recommended creatine intake can vary based on body weight and physical size. Here are key points regarding creatine dosage discussed in the :

    • For individuals weighing approximately 185 to 250 pounds, personally takes and recommends about 10 to 15 grams of creatine per day. For those weighing less, 5 grams or even 3 grams could be sufficient 1.
    • , in discussion with Dr. Huberman, supports the idea that one should adjust creatine dosage based on physical size, with a general standard of 5 grams daily, but potentially increasing to 6 grams and higher for larger individuals 2.
    • In terms of cognitive benefits, Dr. Huberman mentioned that he takes 5 grams per day of creatine monohydrate, which appears to be a standard dose to potentially enhance cognitive function as well 3.

    Please note that these recommendations come from discussions on the Huberman Lab Podcast and you should consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplementation regimen to determine the optimal amount for your specific needs and health status.
