Creatine is no longer just a performance-enhancing compound for skeletal muscle. It also plays a critical role in brain energy metabolism.
In a recent clinical study, Alzheimer’s patients supplementing with 20g/day of creatine experienced:
An 11% increase in brain creatine levels
~5% improvement in cognitive performance
Measurable gains in memory, focus, and processing speed
Creatine supports ATP regeneration in neurons, which may be especially relevant in aging and neurodegenerative conditions where brain energy deficits are common.
This research marks a major step in repositioning creatine as a neuroprotective compound and a potential intervention for cognitive decline. Dr. Ryan Lowry
