Creatine and Cognition

Creatine monohydrate shows promising evidence for supporting cognitive health, particularly in various populations from athletes to those with psychiatric disorders. Research indicates that a daily dose of 5 grams may enhance antidepressant effects and reduce cortical damage after traumatic brain injuries by up to 50%. While the exact mechanisms remain unclear, creatine likely plays a significant role in maintaining neuronal health and combating mitochondrial dysfunction.
