Cognitive Benefits of Creatine Supplementation

single dose of 20 grams of creatine monohydrate

increased cognitive processing speed by about 25 within

just 3 5 hours, and the effect lasted for about 9 hours.

And so this was during sleep deprivation, right?

So the participants, you know,

they stayed awake for a long period of time,

and in the placebo group,

they could continue to deteriorate, right?

They were failing on all of these cognitive tests, doing terrible.

And then the group that took the 20 grams of creatine did not

fail every test, did not degrade significantly.

They had that large increase in various aspects of cognitive processing,

including numeric processing speed as

well as language processing speed.

So the brains were working faster and this was also seen in the brain itself.

The bioenergetics of the brain

was improved in the creatine group.

It's not just muscle benefits with creatine.

The evidence is now showing quite significant cognitive and neural benefits as well.
