- Creatine supplementation raises brain phosphocreatine levels, providing an ATP energy buffer for neurons during high metabolic demand.
- Clinical trials show creatine slows cognitive decline by 30% in early Alzheimer's patients and improves brain energy metrics in those with the disease.
- For healthy adults, creatine enhances cognitive performance under stress, such as sleep deprivation, and boosts processing speed in memory tasks.
- Creatine emerges as a potential adjunct treatment for depression, improving symptoms when combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.
- Oral creatine crosses the blood-brain barrier in meaningful amounts, with higher doses potentially optimizing brain benefits beyond standard athletic use.
