Creatine for Cognitive Function

What is Creatine for Cognitive Function?

Yes, the gym supplement. Creatine monohydrate isn't just for muscles — the brain uses massive amounts of ATP, and creatine replenishes it. r/nootropics users report improved working memory, reduced mental fatigue, and better processing speed, especially under stress or sleep deprivation. Particularly impactful for vegetarians/vegans (who get zero dietary creatine). One of the most cost-effective cognitive supplements available.
