What if feeling “old” isn’t about age at all — but about missing one vital source of power?
Most people think this natural compound is just for gym gains.
But research says otherwise.
In the 1990s, scientists Dr. Roger Harris and Dr. Eric Hultman first showed how it boosts energy inside our cells — not just in muscles, but throughout the body and brain.
Then, researchers at the University of Granada in Spain expanded on that work, showing it can help calm the gut–brain axis — the powerful line of communication between your digestion and your mood.
Here’s what studies are finding:
Improves cognitive performance and working memory — [Avgerinos et al., 2018, Experimental Gerontology]
Supports healthy brain energy metabolism and may reduce anxiety symptoms — [Bender et al., 2021, Frontiers in Nutrition]
Reduces inflammation and supports better cellular recovery — [Harris & Hultman, 1992, Clinical Science]
When your cells have enough of this compound, energy flows. Focus sharpens. Mood stabilizes.
When they don’t — fatigue, stress, and “brain fog” take over.
This is what aging really looks like at a cellular level: not time passing… but power fading.
The good news? You can restore that power.
