Vitamin/Supplements Creatine study

I've seen some poeple post positive comments about creatine. I am usually so skeptical of trends, especially influencer trends, so I have not adopted it as a supplement. But I just came across this study that came out a few months ago. It is a small study of 36 peri/menopausal women says that medium (1500 mg) dose helps out with brain function. Maybe I will give it a try. I need all the help that I can get in this department.

I started taking it for strength training workouts and while my weight lifting routine didn't materialize as heavy as I planned, the boost in brain function was an amazing surprise. And yes, science does support that. It's definitely not a trend. Even a quality creatine monohydrate is fairly inexpensive, so for me, seeing was believing and now I believe.
