Creatine has long been regarded as just a muscle supplement — something for the gym that requires weeks of “loading” to saturate muscle stores. A recent randomized trial overturns that assumption.

A placebo-controlled trial found that creatine rapidly enhanced brain bioenergetics and improved cognitive performance during sleep deprivation, with effects lasting up to nine hours. pic.twitter.com/8Ty6JNFFRa
