- staticassertion 5y agoThat's odd. Creatine stores are in muscles. I'm not saying it isn't the case, the body is weird as fuck, but I'd be interested in understanding how that's the case.
- mrcartmeneses 5y agoIt’s because creatine is used by the body to convert sugar into adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is what your body actually uses for energy inside cells for things like contracting muscles and nerve impulses (like in the brain for things such as “thinking”). ATP can’t be made in the brain, instead it is made by muscles. That’s why exercise and higher levels of creatine are good for cognitive performance and memory.

- cleancoder0 5y agoThere are studies on creatine and cognitive performance.
- muzani 5y agoI've been taking creatine monohydrate for years to improve cognitive function. There has been no visible cognitive effect, but it's greatly reduced exercise injuries.
