Creatine Treatment Experience in Humans
 
Dietary creatine supplementation significantly improved survival, slowed the development of brain atrophy, and delayed atrophy of striatal neurons and the formation of huntingtin-positive aggregates in R6/2 mice.

Creatine (creatine monohydrate) is available as a sports supplement. It usually comes in capsules or as a powder. In the US creatine is sold as US pharmaceutical grade. One heaping teaspoon is about 5 grams.

There have been no human trials to determine the best amount of creatine to take. The evidence is that HD mice do best when the creatine intake is 2% of the total diet intake. More than 2% produced less gains. There were no gains at 3%. READ ON>>
