Creatine
(for cognition)
No, we’re not talking about enhancing your physical performance, although it does that too. Creatine gets a bad rap, but in small doses, it aids in cognition, enhancing intelligence test scores and memory performance. If you want creatine in your diet, you would have to eat nearly 2-3 lbs of raw meat or fish daily to get the recommended dosage. Thankfully, it comes in powder form under the name creatine monohydrate and the RDA of 5g/day (5000mg) should be mixed with liquids. At this dose, you won’t run faster or hit a baseball further, but you might be able to recite the starting lineup of the ’86 Mets for years to come.
