The American Academy of Neurology has issued new guidelines recommending creatine monohydrate supplementation for cognitive health, marking a major shift in how the supplement is perceived by the medical community.

The Evidence

A meta-analysis of 22 clinical trials found creatine supplementation improved working memory by 15%, processing speed by 10%, and reduced mental fatigue by 25% in adults over 40.

Dosage Recommendations

Neurologists recommend 3-5 grams daily of creatine monohydrate, the same dosage used for athletic performance. The supplement costs under $15 per month and has an excellent safety profile.
