Creatine Monohydrate

Creatine's cognitive benefits are increasingly well-documented. The brain consumes substantial ATP, and creatine increases phosphocreatine stores, providing a buffer during cognitively demanding tasks. Trials examining supplementation have found improvements in working memory and reasoning tasks, with effects strongest under cognitive stress and in vegetarians, who tend to have lower baseline creatine levels. A common dose is 3 to 5g daily.
