Brain Fuel 101 – Why Hydration and Creatine Are Essential for Cognitive Performance

Say goodbye to brain fog with two simple supplements

In a world that demands 24/7 productivity, we often treat mental fatigue with more coffee and screen time—when what our brains actually need is fuel.

Not sugar. Not stimulants.

Actual biological fuel.

Two of the most underrated brain supplements for cognitive performance are electrolytes and creatine.

Here’s why they matter—and how they’re changing the game for everyone from athletes to kids writing exams.

1. The Hidden Brain Drain: Dehydration

Your brain is made up of about 75% water. But it’s not just about drinking water—it’s about keeping the right balance of electrolytes: sodium, potassium, and magnesium. These minerals allow your neurons to fire, your memory to function, and your mood to stabilise.

📉 Even mild dehydration can cause:

• Brain fog

• Slower reaction times

• Irritability

• Poor decision-making

  
  

This is especially important for:

• Working adults under constant mental load

• Fasting individuals who lose minerals with no food or fluid

• Athletes who sweat heavily

• Teens writing exams, whose cognitive demand is at its peak

We created A+Salt to address this—by combining clean Kalahari Desert salt with magnesium, potassium, glycine, and essential amino acids. It’s not just hydration. It’s brain fuel.

2. Creatine: Not Just for Gym Bros

Creatine is one of the most researched and safest supplements out there. While it’s famous in fitness circles, it’s now being recognised for what it does in the brain.

🧬 Creatine helps produce ATP—the cellular energy needed for thinking, memory, and emotional regulation. After a brain injury (like a concussion), ATP levels crash. Supplementing with creatine may:

• Speed up brain recovery

• Reduce fatigue

• Improve memory and processing speed

• Even help with exam performance in kids and teens

It’s especially helpful for:

• Combat sports athletes or kids in contact sports

• Women, who typically have lower brain creatine stores

• People with autoimmune or neuro-fatigue issues

• Anyone under mental stress

That’s why we created Crea-Blast—pure, unflavoured creatine from the cleanest source in the world: Creapure®, Germany.

3. The Bottom Line: Simple Supplements. Big Difference.

We live in a time of information overload—but your brain doesn’t need 10 new nootropics. It needs:

✅ Proper hydration with electrolytes and glycine

✅ Daily creatine for cognitive energy and repair

When paired together, these two support your brain from the inside out—especially when life gets heavy.
