The Science of Creatine for Energy
Creatine Supplementation - More Than Just Muscle
While creatine is famous for muscle building, emerging research suggests higher doses (≥10 g/day) may play a crucial role in brain energy metabolism. Because the brain is more resistant to creatine uptake than muscle tissue, standard doses may not be enough to maximize cognitive effects.
Key Cognitive Effects
Evidence suggests creatine is most effective when the brain is under "metabolic stress."
- Memory: Meta-analyses indicate robust improvements in memory, particularly for older adults.
- Mental Performance: Acute high-dose protocols (e.g., 20g/day for a week) have improved working memory and intelligence scores, specifically in vegetarians and those performing complex tasks.
- Resilience: It appears to help maintain cognitive function during sleep deprivation and hypoxia (low oxygen).
Creatine is not just for muscle. It is a Key Driver of Performance
