The Claim
Six weeks of supplementation with 10 grams of creatine monohydrate and 2 grams of guanidinoacetic acid has no significant effect on working memory or spatial memory as measured by the Corsi Block test in healthy adults.
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 10 grams of creatine monohydrate and 2 grams of guanidinoacetic acid daily for six weeks does not change performance on tests of working memory or spatial memory in healthy adults.
See the scientific wording
Six weeks of supplementation with 10 grams of creatine monohydrate and 2 grams of guanidinoacetic acid does not significantly improve working memory or spatial memory, as measured by the Corsi Block test, in healthy adults.
Taking creatine and guanidinoacetic acid raises the level of a high-energy molecule in brain cells, which helps neurons fire faster during tasks that require quick reactions. However, this energy boost does not make the brain better at remembering sequences of locations or holding information in mind for short periods.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave people creatine and a related chemical for six weeks and tested their memory with a block-tapping game. Their memory didn’t get better, which matches the claim that this supplement combo doesn’t help memory.
