What was said

"Then they've actually shown more recently some cognitive benefits to creatine, which I find really interesting as well."

Norton highlighted emerging research showing creatine monohydrate—already established as the most effective sports supplement for muscle building—now demonstrates cognitive benefits. While Norton didn't specify the exact cognitive improvements, this represents an expansion of creatine's applications beyond athletic performance into brain health and mental performance domains.
