The Cognitive Power of Creatine: Not Just for Muscles Anymore

Creatine for Your Brain? It’s About Time.

The Cognitive Power of Creatine: Not Just for Muscles Anymore

What is Creatine—and Why Should You Care?

Creatine is best known for powering explosive movements, helping with strength, and building muscle mass. But recent research says it does more, a lot more.

Your brain uses ATP (energy) just like your muscles. Creatine helps produce ATP. So, more creatine = more cellular energy = sharper thinking, memory, and focus.


Creatine and Brain Health: What the Research Says

Emerging studies show creatine may support:

 

  • Mental fatigue resistance (think: long workdays, intense study blocks)

  • Improved memory and executive function

  • Mood regulation, especially in stressful environments

  • Neuroprotection — creatine may support the brain during ageing or injury

Creatine and Women: Why It’s Especially Important

Women naturally store less creatine in their muscles and brain tissue. Add in hormonal fluctuations, stress, and intense physical or cognitive demand? You’ve got a strong case for daily creatine supplementation.

Benefits for women include:

  • Cognitive support during PMS and perimenopause

  • Strength and recovery support during training

  • Mood stability and energy for high-output lifestyles
