- Nutrition
Creatine is one of the most well researched supplements for its ergogenic benefits in skeletal muscle. But did you know it can have many potential benefits in the brain too?
In this Feed Zone episode, Bob and Dina discuss some of the latest research that suggests creatine supplementation can also positively influence cognition, memory recall, and the impact of traumatic brain injury.
We also discuss:
The power of belief when taking supplements
Who may most benefit from creatine for enhanced memory and cognition?
Dosing and duration considerations for creatine supplementation
Creatine in food sources
“It’s not about taking creatine TODAY, it’s about taking creatine consistently.”
Research papers we discussed:
