Creatine can Boost Memory & Intelligence

Research has shown that Creatine can boost memory & intelligence - Creatine in its various forms ( Monohydrate/Ethyl Ester/Kre-Alkalyn)  has been shown to improve athletic performance and could boost memory and intelligence to according to new research.

Creatine is a natural compound found in muscle tissue, and has been taken by athletes to improve their performance for several years now. However, research now shows that it has a role in maintaining energy levels to the brain, and have perhaps improves mental performance too. Researchers from the University of Sydney and Macquarie University, both in Australia, tested this by giving Creatine Monohydrate supplements to 45 young adult volunteers. Vegetarians were used for the tests. This is because meat in the diet is in itself a source of Creatine , and measuring this would have been very difficult.

The group was split up and some given a placebo, and the other Creatine Monohydrate over a 6 week period. A general IQ test and memory test was done following this. The researchers, found that the Creatine Monohydrate supplements - at least in the short term - seemed to have a positive effect. Both tests were conducted under a time constraint, putting pressure on the people involved.
"The results were clear with both our experimental groups and in both test scenarios.

The group who took the Creatine Monohydrate had a significant better set of results than those who did not.

It was concluded that the Creatine did improve mental agility and memory function in certain areas.
