The Science Behind Levecore

Creatine for Brain, Women’s Health & Longevity

What the Research Shows (In Plain English)

Creatine isn’t just for athletes—it’s a universal energy molecule used by every cell in the body, including your brain. Modern research is uncovering its broader benefits for cognition, women’s health, and long-term vitality.

It fuels the brain. Human brain-imaging studies (MRS) show that creatine levels in the brain rise after supplementation.
It supports memory and focus. Meta-analyses find that creatine can improve memory, attention, and processing speed—especially when the brain is under stress (like sleep loss, high workload, or aging).
It helps during sleep restriction. A landmark study found that a single ~0.35 g/kg dose improved cognitive performance within hours of sleep deprivation. (Levecore’s optional Boost Protocol is modeled after this approach.)
It may support healthy aging. Some studies suggest creatine can help lower homocysteine—an amino acid linked to cardiovascular and cognitive aging—though results are mixed.
Research in progress. Ongoing trials are exploring creatine’s potential role in cognitive aging and longevity, but Levecore does not make disease-related claims.

Why a Brain-First Approach

Creatine’s primary role is to recycle ATP, the body’s energy currency. While muscle tissue stores most of it, the brain also depends heavily on creatine to maintain sharpness and resilience under stress.
When intake increases, brain creatine stores rise modestly—supporting mental clarity, working memory, and sustained focus during demanding conditions.

Why We Recommend More Than 5 g/day

Most gym protocols use 3–5 g/day to saturate muscle, but studies focusing on the brain often go higher.
Because muscle “soaks up” much of what you take, split dosing (e.g., 5 g in the morning, 5 g mid-day) helps maintain a steady supply without discomfort.
This mirrors how many brain-focused studies achieved measurable increases in brain creatine.

Levecore Protocol: 10 g/day total (5 g + 5 g), optionally increasing on high-demand days.

Why It Matters More for Women, Vegetarians & Busy Minds

Women and plant-based eaters often start with lower baseline creatine stores because dietary sources are minimal.
Research shows they experience the largest cognitive and mood benefits when supplementing—especially in energy-demanding phases of life:

Perimenopause and hormonal transitions
High mental load or stress
Shift work or irregular sleep
Vegetarian or vegan diets

For these groups, creatine isn’t just about performance—it’s about brain energy, resilience, and longevity.

How to Use Levecore

Daily Brain Protocol

10 g/day creatine monohydrate (5 g morning + 5 g early afternoon)
Mix with water, coffee, or your favorite smoothie.

Optional Boost Protocol

On days with short sleep, travel, or intense cognitive demand:
Add an extra 5–10 g split into 5 g doses.
Avoid exceeding 20 g/day and always space doses 3–4 hours apart for comfort.

Safety & Quality

Creatine monohydrate is the gold standard—backed by decades of research.
Clinical trials and position statements confirm it is safe for long-term use in healthy adults, with mild GI discomfort at higher doses being the most common side effect.
Levecore uses only third-party-tested, pharmaceutical-grade creatine for purity and consistency.
