A 2025 study from the University of Southern California discovered that neurons in the ventral hippocampus store detailed memories of meals—what you ate and when. These brain “engrams” communicate with hunger centers, helping you feel full between meals.

In 2025, Dr. Richard Kreider of Texas A&M reviewed 685 clinical trials and found creatine to be not only safe, but vital for healthy aging. Beyond muscle gains, creatine powers brain cells, supports cognitive function, protects against stress, and helps older adults retain muscle and memory.
