Improves Brain Function
Creatine has a vital role in brain function and health. The brain needs a sufficient amount of ATP to perform complex work, and ATP production increases through creatine since it boosts the phosphocreatine stores in the brain. Another vital role of creatine in the brain is improving mitochondrial function and increasing dopamine levels. Meat is one of the best sources of creatine.
According to a study, creatine supplements improved vegetarians’ memory and intelligence test score by 20 to 50 percent. In addition, older individuals taking creatine supplements for two weeks improved their recall ability and memory. Meanwhile, creatine enhances older adults’ brain function, protects them against neurological illness, and decreases their likelihood of developing age-related loss of strength and muscle.
While the finding delivered positive outcomes, more research involving the young and healthy population who consume meat is still needed.
