Creatine, a dietary supplement often advertised as a muscle builder, may pump up the brain, say researchers at the University of Sydney in Australia, who reported the compound gave a significant boost to working memory and general intelligence in a 6-week trial.
Researchers fed 5 milligrams of either creatine--a close cousin of amino acids--or a placebo to 45 young adult vegetarians. The researchers then challenged the two groups with an assortment of tests that require "fast brain power." Subjects taking creatine scored better, presumably from an increase in energy that improved their computational powers and general mental abilities.
Vegetarians or vegans were chosen for the study because carnivores obtain a variable level creatine depending on the amount and type of meat they eat.
Creatine is something that the body either produces naturally or obtains directly from foods such as ...
