Description

In plain English

Taking creatine supplements—no matter how much, how long, or whether you're male or female—doesn't make your memory any better if you're a healthy teen or young adult.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: Effects of creatine supplementation on memory in healthy individuals: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

    This study looked at whether taking creatine helps young people (11–31 years old) remember better, and found it doesn’t — no matter how much they took or for how long. That matches the claim perfectly.
