The Claim
Six weeks of creatine supplementation at 10 or 20 grams per day has no significant effect on cognitive performance in processing speed, episodic memory, or executive function in healthy young adults aged 19–33.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing 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.
Taking creatine supplements at 10 or 20 grams per day for six weeks does not improve how quickly healthy young adults process information, remember events, or make decisions.
See the scientific wording
Six weeks of creatine supplementation at 10 or 20 grams per day does not significantly improve cognitive performance in processing speed, episodic memory, or executive function in healthy young adults aged 19–33, suggesting that under these conditions, creatine does not enhance cognition despite its role in brain energy metabolism.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Dose–Response of Creatine Supplementation on Cognitive Function in Healthy Young Adults
This study gave young adults creatine pills for six weeks and found no improvement in their memory, focus, or how fast they think — even with higher doses. So, creatine doesn't seem to make your brain work better in these areas.
