Paper

Abstract

Creatine is a well-studied dietary supplement that is known to benefit aging muscle and bone, especially when combined with resistance training. Some studies suggest that creatine may also be favorable for cognitive function, yet these independent effects have not been thoroughly reviewed in older adults.

The following analysis is generated by AI and may contain errors. It is separate from the authors’ abstract and is not peer review.

Research summary

Creatine supplementation may improve cognitive function in older adults. The paper is relevant as it explores potential interventions that could enhance cognitive health in aging populations, addressing aspects of longevity and cognitive decline.
