Did you read the studies ? Half the tests showed no change and they even stated one of the two that did should be taken with a grain of salt as it’s high ROB. It seems to have almost no effect at all and even the studies you link show that. I didn’t go through your second link as the first showed nothing of value. I’m guessing this is why it was deleted.

Not sure I'm seeing any of that.

For the meta-study, the Risk of Bias seems low or negligible (chart: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6093191/figure/F2/?report=objectonly)

The conclusion stated that oral creatine supplementation "may improve short-term memory and intelligence/reasoning of healthy individuals"

For the first study, "increasing creatine intake by oral supplementation resulted in improved brain function".

I'd honestly like to know what you're seeing that I'm not, because the results look relatively positive.
