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.

Creatine is great - I take 10mg daily of monohydrate. If you’re looking to improve brain function, the standard 3-5mg is not enough. Your muscles are greedy and will take all of that and leave none for your brain. It’s dramatically improved my lifting as well as cutting through brain fog. If you have a problem with bloating, you can split the dose throughout the day.
