Creatine supplementation improves attention.

What the research says

7 studies

  1. Study: The effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive performance—a randomised controlled study

    The study found that people who took creatine remembered slightly more numbers in a memory test, but the improvement was so small that it could have been due to chance, so it's not clear if creatine really helps attention.

  2. Study: Single-Dose Creatine Reduces Sleep Deprivation-Induced Deterioration in Cognitive Performance

    Taking creatine can help you stay focused and think faster when you're sleep-deprived, showing it improves attention even in tough conditions.

  3. Study: The Effects of 8-Week Creatine Hydrochloride and Creatine Ethyl Ester Supplementation on Cognition, Clinical Outcomes, and Brain Creatine Levels in Perimenopausal and Menopausal Women (CONCRET-MENOPA): A Randomized Controlled Trial.

    Taking 1500 mg of creatine each day helped middle-aged women react faster, which is a sign of better attention.
