Creatine: A New Memory Booster?

Creatine: A Brain Booster? New research suggests that creatine, a supplement commonly used for muscle growth, may also offer significant cognitive benefits, particularly for memory. Two recent meta-analyses, one from 2024 and another from 2023, have explored creatine's impact on cognitive function and memory performance in adults. The 2024 study, published in Frontiers in Nutrition, found that creatine supplementation might support brain function, especially memory. The 2023 study, published in Nutrition Reviews, found a significant positive effect of creatine supplementation on memory performance. While further research is needed, these findings suggest that creatine's benefits may extend beyond muscle building, potentially providing advantages for cognitive health. "Creatine isn't just for muscle—research suggests it may also support memory, especially in women and adults under 60." says Dr. Sood, a board-certified MD featured in the video. This research opens up exciting possibilities for exploring creatine's role in cognitive enhancement and improving overall brain health.
