A new advisory board member
The world’s leading creatine researcher has joined DoNotAge.org.
Professor Sergej M. Ostojic has spent his career on a question most people never think to ask about creatine: what it does outside the gym.
He has joined our Scientific Advisory Board, and he is running clinical trials using DoNotAge.org creatine.
Who he is
Professor Ostojic Is Not Just A Spokesperson.
Creatine is one of the most studied compounds in nutrition, and Professor Ostojic is the most prominent scientist working on it today. He joins our board as a working researcher, not as an endorsement.
MD, PhD, FACP.
A physician and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians.
Professor of Nutritional Sciences.
Texas Tech University.
Editor-in-Chief, Clinical Bioenergetics.
He edits the journal covering how cells make and spend energy, which is the field creatine sits in.
500+ Publications, Dozens of Human Trials.
The world’s leading expert in creatine research.
What his research covers
Creatine, studied as a question about aging.
Most people come across creatine in a gym, where the evidence for strength and lean mass has been settled for decades. Professor Ostojic’s program sits somewhere else. His human trials look at brain energy, cognition, telomere length and healthy aging in older people.
One analysis he worked on covered more than 120,000 people and examined the relationship between dietary creatine intake and biomarkers of aging.

How creatine actually works.
Creatine is not a stimulant and it is not a hormone. It is part of how a cell pays for work. Cells spend an energy currency called ATP, and creatine is what lets them refill it fast, so the tissues that work in sudden bursts rely on it most. Muscle holds the biggest store, which is why the gym found it first.
The brain runs on the same currency. It is roughly two percent of body weight and takes over twenty percent of resting energy use, and it holds its own creatine pool. That is the reason the research question widened from performance to cognition, and from athletes to older adults.
The trials
He is running clinical trials using our creatine.
Professor Ostojic is running clinical trials using DoNotAge.org creatine. More details to follow.
This is all we can reveal right now. When the design, the endpoints and the registration are ready to be published, we will publish them here rather than trail them.
The board he joins
Three people we answer to on the science.
DoNotAge.org profits fund research. The advisory board helps us direct this funding effectively and keeps our own research on track.
Professor Vera Gorbunova
USA
Pioneering biologist known for her work on longevity genes and cancer resistance in long-lived mammals, and how it can be applied to humans.
Nick Engerer, PhD
Australia
An expert in human performance and biohacking, applying systems thinking to the future of human health and longevity.
Professor Sergej M. Ostojic
Newly appointed
MD, PhD, FACP. Professor of Nutritional Sciences at Texas Tech University and Editor-in-Chief of Clinical Bioenergetics.
The creatine itself
Creatine monohydrate, micronised and plain.
- Form
- Creatine monohydrate, micronised and plain.
- Purity
- Above 99%.
- Testing
- Third-party tested, made to GMP and ISO9001 standards.
- Size
- 300g tub, with a 5g scoop.
- Suitable for
- Adults adding creatine to a daily routine.
Why the simple version matters
Third-party tested, and simple enough to study.
A researcher can only run a trial on something he can measure exactly. Creatine monohydrate at a stated purity, tested by somebody who did not make it, is what makes the trials above it possible.
We will publish what the trials find, including the parts that are inconvenient. That is the whole point of funding the research rather than the marketing.
