A new study found that taking 10g of creatine daily for 12 weeks without exercising added 2.4 POUNDS of lean mass while improving strength, endurance, cognition, and metabolic markers. While a lot of that lean mass is probably increased muscular water content, there were still improvements in functional performance...

Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial finds creatine alone produced measurable improvements in body composition, strength, memory, cognitive processing, and metabolic markers:

I recently started taking about 15g per day in 3 5g doses throughout the day. I noticed an improvement over 1 5g dose per day.

Creatine’s benefits look solid here, but the lean-mass gain is mostly water. Still useful for strength and cognition in older adults.

I use creatine, hyaluronic acid, methylene blue, ivermectin, nattokinase and gugu lipid, if you want to really be healthy check out those supplements but look in pub med where doctors and scientists publish trials.

That's a really stupid and drawn-out way for the vast majority of people to add 2-1/2 pounds of muscle.

I don't disagree. I actually take creatine on a regular basis but I want to know more about the alleged negative effects of creatinine buildup and if it truly hurts the liver and kidneys.

I went carnivore 6 weeks ago and I feel so much better. Lost 17 pounds but the first 12 of those were water. Two gallons under pressure in a closed container, like a water balloon. Personally, I'm glad they left.

Strength lost to old age primarily reflects a reversible decline in muscle quality, not just lost mass. If you're old (or have aging parents), that means strength can come back quickly — with the diligent application of effort. Even if you're ninety years old. I'll talk about two studies that illustrate this point... One study took frail, institutionalized adults aged 90 and older. The other took 85+ year olds that were still living independently. The findings? The participants in the first study increased their strength by an average of 174%, thigh muscle mass by 9%, and gait speed by 48% after just 8 weeks of high-intensity resistance training — essentially reversing their frailty and disability. (PMID: 2342214) In the second, the still independently living adults aged 85 and older increased their quadriceps muscle cross-sectional area by 11%, whole-body lean mass by 2%, and leg strength by 46% after just 12 weeks of resistance training. (PMID: 37875254) Some common themes that tend to contribute to the success of trials like these: • Progressive resistance training with adequate volume and resistance • Actually adhering to the prescribed training during the period (the studies excluded non-compliant participants) I think one of the takeaways is that the further you fall, in terms of functional loss attributable to old age, in some ways the better positioned you might be to pick back up — highlighting that it really is never too late. Moreover, when you think about the possibility of increasing your relative strength by such a large amount in very short time frames on the order of weeks — even if you can't reasonably expect to add much in terms of absolute muscle mass — you're talking about significant changes to quality of life. People no longer using canes, rising from chairs without having to use their arms. You get the picture. I think overall this should be highly encouraging to most people, no matter what your age.

Creatine is SAFE! CASE CLOSED! I have been saying for years that creatine monohydrate (CM) is the most effective & safest supplement on the market for improving lean mass, strength, performance, & now we have data showing it may improve cognition while decreasing symptoms of depression & possibly protect against traumatic brain injury Myths abound about the safety of CM, with claims that it damages the kidneys, liver, heart, causes bloating, damages the gut, & causes water retention A new meta-analysis (PMID: 40198156) attempted to compile all clinical research that reported side effects & analyze whether or not creatine caused side effects vs placebo The meta included over 26,000 total subjects & the characteristics were as follows: Average intake per day: 12.5g Average duration of use: ~9 weeks (longest was 14 years) Average age: 30 (up to 77) There were 49 total side effects reported, including: palpitations, thromboembolic events, GI distress, muscle cramping, kidney issues, liver enzymes, neoplasm, heart issues, & many others There were NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCES for any of these side effects between creatine & placebo, indicating that it is unlikely to cause any side effects Additionally, while CM increases total body water, it does NOT increase extracellular water, which means it doesn’t cause edema (PMID: 12937471) Some people report GI issues from CM & for those people, I recommend dividing it up into smaller doses throughout the day It also does NOT cause hair loss (PMID: 40265319) Do not waste your money on forms of creatine other than monohydrate. It is the most studied form by far & is also the least expensive. All other forms (ethyl ester, hydrochloride, buffered, etc) are more expensive (so supplement companies can justify overcharging you) & none of them are more effective than CM & some are less effective (like ethyl ester). PMIDs: 19228401, 39545789, & 22971354) Get the real deal & don’t get overcharged. That’s why my Recovery product from @outworknutritionofficial contains creatine monohydrate so that you get the most effective, tested, & safe form, without overpaying.

There is now converging evidence in animals and humans that omega-3 fatty acids are at the least anti-catabolic and, likely, anabolic. They seem to do this by shifting the balance away from breakdown and more towards muscle building, particularly in the context of anabolic resistance. Animal studies show omega-3 fatty acids augment muscle development: Steers fed omega-3s showed improved amino acid efficiency and activated pathways involved in muscle growth. Similarly, pigs given a high omega-3 diet exhibited larger muscles and markers of improved amino acid absorption and use. But more importantly, we have human evidence: • In one study, young women taking 5 grams of omega-3s per day cut their muscle loss almost in half and increased muscle protein synthesis after two weeks of leg immobilization. • In another study, older adults consuming 3.36 grams of omega-3s daily for two months had an increase in muscle protein synthesis in the presence of amino acids and insulin. • Yet another study found that healthy older adults taking 4 grams of omega-3s daily for half a year increased various measures of muscle size and strength. • Still another study, older adults who consumed 4 grams of krill oil daily for six months improved knee strength, grip strength, thigh muscle thickness, and measures of muscle nerve response. There are still open questions. For example, a consistent theme is that many of the studies are high dose at 4 and 5 grams per day - does that imply that these effects in muscle only happen at high dosages? Another question we might ask is, in what context is omega-3 more anabolic - for example, in old age? During immobilization? When protein intake is sub-optimal for muscle building? (It often is for many of us.) Listen to my recent podcast guest Dr. Chris McGlory for more discussion of this fascinating new emerging field. Show notes and transcript for this episode here:

Creatine is for Brain Power, not Just Muscle Power A New RCT just dropped looking at creatine hydrochloride (HCl) and creatine ethyl ester (CEE) on cognitive outcomes (PMID: 40854087). Researchers gave perimenopausal women 8 weeks of either low-dose creatine HCl (750 mg or 1.5 g / day), a blend of HCl + CEE, or placebo. 👉 The 1.5 g HCl group showed small but significant improvements in reaction time and even a ~16% increase in frontal brain creatine levels on MRS scans. The HCl + CEE combo didn’t outperform HCl alone. All forms were well-tolerated and there were no serious side effects. The results add to growing evidence that creatine supports cognition—not just strength, hypertrophy, and power—but let’s keep perspective: ⚠️ Creatine ethyl ester has consistently underperformed in bioavailability studies. Multiple head-to-head trials show it’s rapidly degraded to creatinine in the gut and fails to meaningfully raise muscle creatine compared to creatine monohydrate (PMID:19228401). Creatine HCl seems to dissolve better in water and some anecdotal reports claim it’s easier on digestion for some people, but so far there’s no solid evidence it improves muscle or brain creatine stores beyond what you get with monohydrate. Bottom line: this study is promising for the cognitive benefits of creatine overall, but it doesn’t change the main recommendation Creatine monohydrate is still the gold standard. It’s the form used in hundreds of human RCTs, proven to raise muscle and brain creatine, and it’s cheap. Until stronger data show otherwise, save your money and stick with monohydrate.
