I've suffered a low grade depression for many years. [View all]

Started to take Creatine to regain my old age muscle loss and found I’m less depressed.
So I looked it up and found there is good evidence that Creatine has that effect.
Pretty cheap and mostly safe. You may want to ask your doctor and look up side effects before you try it. It’s also not for vegans.
