First seen May 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 12, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This 26-week study looks at whether taking creatine supplements and doing weightlifting, alone or together, can improve memory, thinking, and physical function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). About 200 people aged 60+ will be randomly assigned to one of four groups: creatine plus weight training, placebo plus weight training, creatine plus balance/stretching, or placebo plus balance/stretching. Researchers will test memory and brain health before and after the program to see which combination works best.
