The Claim
Positive results from the CREATE trial support the widespread use of creatine supplementation to improve cognitive function in adolescents with low school performance, with potential impacts on educational policies and self-esteem.
What the research says
Challenges is higher
Challenge is ahead, but a single strong supporting study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Creatine supplements improve cognitive function in adolescents with low school performance. This supports its widespread use and impacts educational policies and self-esteem.
See the scientific wording
If the CREATE trial yields positive results, it would support the widespread use of creatine supplementation to improve cognitive function in adolescents with low school performance, potentially impacting educational policies and self-esteem.
Creatine is a substance that helps cells make energy. Taking creatine as a supplement increases the amount of creatine in the brain. Brain cells use creatine to quickly produce energy when they are working hard, such as during thinking or learning tasks. This extra energy supply helps the brain perform better, improving memory, reasoning, and processing speed.
What the research says
1 studyThe study hasn't been done yet—it's just a plan. So we can't say it supports or contradicts the idea that creatine helps teenagers' thinking skills.
