So the first substance that I'd like to highlight that has been shown to significantly reduce the intensity and or frequency of headaches is creatine . Now , creatine , as many of you know , is something that people supplement and take most often creatine is discussed in the context of muscle performance , not just for people who weightlift , but for people who do endurance exercise . And it's often been said that 5 to 10 g per day of creatine monohydrate , depending on how much you weigh .
And it's often been said that 5 to 10 g per day of creatine monohydrate , depending on how much you weigh . 5 to 10 g per day of creatine monohydrate can increase creatine phosphate stores in muscles can bring more water into muscles , can make you stronger can increase power output . And that is all true .
You can simply look up calcium A TP and neurons and you can learn about that cycle . Creatine can be stored in muscles as we talked about before . But creatine and in particular , the phosphorated form of creatine , which is the readily available fuel source form of creatine can also be stored in brain tissue and it is actually quite prominently stored in the forebrain .

The area where the real estate of , of your brain just behind the forehead , which is involved in planning and action and understanding context .
So the dosage that was used for su su implementing creatine in this study to address the potential impact of creatine on headache , dizziness and fatigue was quite a bit higher than the dosages used simply for muscle performance . In this study , they had people take a dose of 0.4 g of creatine monohydrate per kilogram of body weight . So for somebody that weighs 100 kg or £220 that would be 40 g of creatine per day .
