Creatine has gained significant attention recently, with claims backed by historical research, but the need for more comprehensive modern studies has arisen.
Over 500 studies on creatine's impact on muscle size, strength, and exercise physiology exist, though in isolated contexts.
Creatine isn't a steroid-like aid; it enhances natural energy production, likened to a battery system for energy supply during exercise.
Creatine intake from diet (salmon, red meat) is insufficient, often half of required levels; additional intake through supplementation is suggested.
Creatine is an energy-boosting supplement rather than solely for muscle building; it's supported by research as effective for improving strength and energy levels, without posing significant safety concerns, particularly within the recommended daily range of 3-5 grams.
