About this listen
In this week's Wisdom Wednesday podcast episode, I discuss an exciting new pilot study that looked at the effects of creatine supplementation on cognitive function in Alzheimer's disease patients.
Timestamps:
00:45 - How creatine provides energy for neurons
02:30 - Overview of animal research on creatine for Alzheimer's
04:15 - Details on the new human pilot study
06:00 - Cognitive improvements found with creatine supplementation
07:30 - Next steps for research
Key Takeaways:
- Creatine supplementation increased brain creatine levels and improved cognition in Alzheimer's patients
- Effects were seen in working memory, attention, problem solving - areas typically impaired
- More research is needed but this provides promising preliminary evidence for creatine in Alzheimer's
- Creatine is safe, cheap, and readily available making it an appealing potential treatment
