Creatine in Cognitive Performance: A Commentary

Curr Mol Pharmacol. 2024:17:e18761429272915. doi: 10.2174/0118761429272915231122112748.

Abstract

Given the importance of cognition in everyday life, medicines that improve cognition safely and affordably are highly wanted. Creatine is an amino acid-derived substance that aids in the restoration of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides energy to muscle and brain tissue. Although the relationship between creatine and cognitive performance is still debatable, here is a brief description of creatine's influence on cognition with probable implications for future research on this intriguing topic.
