Benefits of Creatine Beyond Muscle Building
Creatine is widely acknowledged for its role in enhancing muscle gain and strength, but it also offers cognitive benefits that are frequently overlooked. Studies have shown that creatine supplementation can improve short-term memory and cognitive performance, particularly in individuals with low dietary creatine intake, such as vegans. The increase in available energy, particularly ATP, is believed to facilitate better brain function, making it particularly beneficial for those with cognitive impairments. As creatine becomes more popular, its potential application as an adjunctive treatment for conditions like Alzheimer’s and dementia is being researched.
