Research Explores Creatine's Potential Benefits for Mental Health and Depression
Creatine, a compound naturally produced by the body and found in meat and fish, is widely used as a dietary supplement for athletic performance. Recent research suggests it may also benefit mental health, particularly as a potential treatment for depression. The brain, which consumes significant energy, may be affected by low creatine levels linked to mood disorders. While promising, experts advise understanding current research nuances before using creatine for mental health purposes.
