Nutraceutical: Creatine
 
Indication:  Cognitive function (in vegetarians)
 
Source: Br J Nutr, December 2010;1:1-6.
 
Research: Creatine supplementation influences brain functioning as indicated by imaging studies. Given the key role played by creatine in the provision of energy, the influence of its supplementation on cognitive functioning was examined, contrasting the effect in omnivores and vegetarians. Young adult females (n=128) were separated into those who were and were not vegetarian. Randomly and under a double-blind procedure, subjects consumed either a placebo or 20 grams of creatine for 5 days.
 
Results: Creatine supplementation did not influence measures of verbal fluency and vigilance. However, in vegetarians rather than in those who consume meat, creatine supplementation resulted in better memory. Irrespective of dietary style, researchers said the supplementation of creatine decreased the variability in the responses to a choice reaction-time task.
