I've been benefitting from creatine monohydrate supplementation and was curious if skipping the BBB would be more effective in raising brain creatine and ATP levels. Will there be absorption or toxicity issues?

 

Will high doses be necessary if you are bypassing the blood brain barrier? Since Creatine has difficulty penetrating the BBB you must saturate your blood in order to get enough to pass through the BBB to your brain, but perhaps thats not necessary if intranasal administration yields the same amount of brain creatine at a much lower dose.

 

I intend to use a nasal spray solution, not to snort.

Following 24-h sleep deprivation, creatine supplementation had a positive effect on mood state and tasks that place a heavy stress on the prefrontal cortex.

Creatine supplementation had a significant positive effect (p < 0.0001) on both working memory (backward digit span) and intelligence (Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices), both tasks that require speed of processing.
