What the literature says
A short list of the strongest studies behind the active ingredients in CreaThink. Click through to read the original paper.
- FOCUS
Creatine improved short-term memory and reasoning, especially under stress.
A systematic review of cognitive trials in healthy adults found that daily creatine supplementation improved short-term memory and reasoning, with the strongest effects in conditions of sleep deprivation and high mental load.
- ENERGY
ISSN names creatine the most effective ergogenic supplement available.
The International Society of Sports Nutrition position stand reviewed decades of research and concluded that creatine monohydrate is the most effective and well-studied supplement for increasing high-intensity exercise capacity and lean body mass.
- MEMORY
Citicoline improved attention in healthy adult women
placebo-controlled trial found that 250 to 500mg of daily citicoline improved sustained attention and reduced errors of omission in healthy adult women over 28 days.
- CALM
L-theanine shifted brainwaves into the alpha state
A study found that 50mg of L-theanine increased alpha-wave activity, the EEG signature of relaxed alertness, within 45 minutes of ingestion, without causing drowsiness.
- SLEEP LOSS
High-dose creatine improved reaction time after sleep deprivation.
Acute creatine supplementation around 20g restored brain ATP levels and improved reaction time, memory, and processing speed in subjects who had been sleep-deprived. Suggests creatine helps the brain cope with cognitive stress.
- BEYOND MUSCLE
Creatine raises brain creatine stores and supports cognitive resilience.
A review of the brain-creatine literature found supplementation raises brain creatine concentrations by roughly 5 to 15 percent.
What is in the scoop, and why
Three actives. Full clinical doses. No proprietary blends, no underdosing.
Creatine Monohydrate
5g
The most studied performance supplement in human nutrition. Fuels ATP, the cellular energy that powers muscle output and brain processing speed.
Evidence: Hundreds of peer-reviewed trials. ISSN position-stand approved. Strong evidence for muscle output and recovery. Growing evidence for memory, focus, and resilience under cognitive stress.
Citicoline
500mg
A precursor to acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter behind memory, focus, and processing speed. Also supports neuronal membrane health.
Evidence: A randomized placebo-controlled trial in healthy adult women showed improved attention at 250 to 500mg daily, with additional memory evidence from trials in older adults.
L-Theanine
200mg
An amino acid found in tea leaves. Shifts brainwaves into the alpha state, producing calm focus without sedation.
Evidence: Clinical studies show 100 to 200mg of L-theanine increases alpha brainwave activity within 40 minutes, with reduced anxiety and improved attention.
