A Temple University study on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) has found a link between creatine and metabolic energy that holds promise for future CFS treatments. “We found that creatine affects mitochondria – the parts of the cells that produce energy for all biological functioning – in normal human subjects. Now that we have established this [...]
Research by Australian scientists has shown that taking creatine can give a significant boost to both working memory and general intelligence.
