What daily creatine supports
Made for brains under pressure.
Research suggests creatine does the most when your brain is running low: short nights, heavy mental load, getting older. Sound familiar?

Beyond the gym
Your brain uses creatine, too.
Creatine built its reputation in the gym. Your brain has been using it all along.
Every thought, memory and decision costs energy. Your brain makes up about 2% of your body weight, yet uses around 20% of your body's energy, even when you're sitting still.
To keep up, it relies on the same fast energy reserve your muscles do: the creatine system. That's why researchers have moved beyond muscle and are now studying creatine for memory, attention and mental performance.
Creatine isn't just for muscles. It's part of your brain's natural energy system.

How it works
Your brain runs on a battery. Creatine recharges it.
Your brain runs on a molecule called ATP, the energy your cells spend to get things done. Creatine helps your cells recycle it.
-
Your brain spends energy.
Every time brain cells think, remember or process information, they spend ATP.
-
Creatine stores backup energy.
Inside your cells, creatine becomes phosphocreatine: a small, fast-access energy reserve.
-
Your cells recharge.
When ATP gets spent, phosphocreatine regenerates it quickly, so your cells can keep up with demand.
The big idea
Creatine supports the energy system your brain already runs on.*
No caffeine. No artificial buzz. Just support for a natural cellular process.

What happened in the studies
Results from published studies on creatine monohydrate, not on CogNative gummies.
- +41% Reasoning scores after 6 weeks of 5g a day Raven's matrices vs placebo in 45 vegetarian adults, the same daily dose as CogNative. Rae et al., 2003
- +21% Working memory after 6 weeks of 5g a day Backward digit span vs placebo, same study. Rae et al., 2003
- 3 of 3 Memory, attention and processing speed all improved 2024 meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials in 492 adults. Xu et al., 2024
- 28 days To fully top up your creatine stores with a daily dose 3g a day raised muscle creatine about 20%, matching a high-dose loading protocol. Hultman et al., 1996
Why we're excited.
Creatine's role in cellular energy is well established. The cognitive research builds on that foundation, and it keeps growing every year.
Read the research summary
Rae et al., 2003 (Proceedings of the Royal Society B). Double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial. 45 vegetarian and vegan adults took 5g creatine monohydrate a day for 6 weeks. Working memory (backward digit span) rose from 7.05 to 8.5 items, and Raven's reasoning scores from 9.7 to 13.7 items, versus placebo.
Xu et al., 2024 (Frontiers in Nutrition). Meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials in 492 adults. Creatine improved memory, attention time and processing speed. No significant effect on overall cognition or executive function. Benefits were larger in adults aged 18 to 60 and in women.
Prokopidis et al., 2023 (Nutrition Reviews). Meta-analysis of 8 trials: creatine improved memory in healthy people, with the largest effect in adults aged 66 to 76.
Sleep deprivation. McMorris et al., 2006: after 24 hours awake, creatine (20g a day for 7 days) limited the rise in fatigue and improved choice reaction time. Gordji-Nejad et al., 2024 and 2026: a single high dose (0.2 to 0.35 g/kg) taken during a sleepless night improved processing speed and reasoning for several hours.
Hultman et al., 1996 (Journal of Applied Physiology). 3g of creatine a day raised muscle creatine by about 20% within 28 days, the same level reached with a 6-day high-dose loading phase.
These studies used creatine monohydrate, not CogNative gummies. Doses, groups and results differ between studies.
Why I started CogNative
Two kids. Broken nights. One habit that finally stuck.
After my daughter was born, my nights got shorter and my focus disappeared. I stopped going to the gym altogether.
When I went back and started taking creatine again, my concentration came back too. Turns out creatine is being studied for exactly that, especially on short sleep.
Then my son arrived and the habit fell apart. Powder, pills, nothing stuck. Gummies did, until I learned many contain little to no creatine.
So I worked with our factory to build CoolFuse™, and had the gummies lab-tested before we launched.
Two kids means twice the wake-ups. I still get my work done, and at 36 I feel as strong in the gym as I did at 25.
GuidoFounder of CogNative, dad of two
My personal experience. Results vary.
Why CogNative
Nearly half of creatine gummies fail the lab test.
Independent labs keep finding the same thing: creatine gummies with little to no creatine inside. You pay for 5g and get a sweet.
What independent testing found
- 5 of 12 creatine gummies had little to no creatine NOW Foods lab testing, 2024
- 4 of 6 popular creatine gummies failed potency testing SuppCo, ISO 17025 lab, 2025
- 5 of 9 brands contained under 2% of their label claim Eurofins testing, via NutraIngredients, 2025
Why it happens: creatine breaks down into creatinine, a waste product your body can't use, when it sits in heat and water. Most gummies are cooked hot and wet, with the creatine in the pot.
So we built CoolFuse™ to keep the creatine in.
-
1. Cook the pectin base
The gummy base is cooked first, with no creatine in it.
-
2. Cool below 60°C
The mix cools down and has less water left in it.
-
3. Fuse in the creatine
Only then is the creatine added, away from the heat.
What CoolFuse™ means for your daily dose
-
Creatine stays out of the cook.
The pectin base is cooked first. The creatine never goes into the boiling stage.
-
Added below 60°C.
Creatine is only folded in once the mix has cooled below 60°C.
-
Less water to break it down.
By then the base holds less water, the other thing that turns creatine into creatinine.
-
Extra creatine, on purpose.
We add extra creatine on purpose, so you still get the full 5g on the last day of your pouch.
Made to keep the 5g on the label inside the gummy.
Meet your new daily ritual
All the creatine. None of the hassle.
Creatine powder works. But nobody wants another tub to scoop, shake and choke down every morning.
So we put a full daily dose of creatine monohydrate into four gummies you'll actually look forward to. No shaker. No mixing. No complicated routine.
-

FAQ
Good questions. Straight answers.
Is creatine really used by the brain?
Yes. Your brain naturally stores creatine and uses it in the phosphocreatine system to recycle ATP, its main energy currency.
Can creatine help with memory and focus?
A 2024 meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials found improvements in memory, attention and processing speed measures. Research is ongoing and individual results vary.
Is CogNative a stimulant?
No. CogNative contains no caffeine and no stimulants. It supports your brain's own energy system instead of giving you a temporary buzz.
Why 5 grams of creatine?
5g is the standard daily dose of creatine monohydrate used across decades of research, in line with the 3 to 5g daily intake recommended by the International Society of Sports Nutrition.
Why gummies instead of powder?
Because you'll actually take them. A full daily dose with no scooping, mixing or gritty drinks.
Do other creatine gummies really contain no creatine?
Some do. Independent lab tests in 2024 and 2025 found that about half of the creatine gummies tested contained little to no creatine. Creatine breaks down into creatinine in heat and water, and most gummies are cooked hot with the creatine already in the mix.
What is CoolFuse™?
CoolFuse™ is how we make CogNative. We cook the pectin base first without any creatine, let it cool below 60°C so less water is left, and only then fuse in the creatine. It keeps the creatine away from the heat and water that break it down.
When should I take it?
Whenever suits your day. Morning, lunch or afternoon all work. Taking it every day matters more than the exact time.
How long until I notice a difference?
Creatine works by building up your stores, not by a quick hit. Daily use fills them in about 4 weeks, and the classic 5g-a-day study measured memory and reasoning after 6 weeks. Take it every day and give it the full window.
Will creatine make me gain weight?
Creatine can increase the water stored in your muscles, which may show up as a small change on the scale. That's water, not body fat.
Does creatine cause hair loss?
There's no good evidence that it does. The idea traces back to one small 2009 study that measured a hormone, not hair loss, and its finding has not been replicated.
Can I take it without working out?
Yes. Your brain uses creatine for energy whether or not you hit the gym.
Is CogNative suitable for women?
Absolutely. Creatine's role in energy metabolism isn't gender-specific. If you're pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before taking any supplement.
Does CogNative contain sugar?
Just 2g per serving. We sweeten with sugar alcohols and stevia. As with any sugar alcohols, large amounts can cause digestive discomfort in some people.
Can I take it every day?
Yes, that's the idea. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched supplements available and is well tolerated by healthy adults at this dose. If you have kidney disease or another medical condition, or take medication, talk to your doctor first.
