Taking creatine supplements leads to better bone health in humans.

See the scientific wording

Creatine supplementation improves bone health in humans.

Why this might work

Creatine gives bone cells more energy, which makes them build bone in stronger shapes, especially around the hip, so the bone doesn't break as easily under stress.

What the research says

1 study

  1. Study: A 2-yr Randomized Controlled Trial on Creatine Supplementation during Exercise for Postmenopausal Bone Health

    Taking creatine didn't make bones denser, but it did make them stronger in shape, like reinforcing a bridge’s structure instead of just adding more material. This means bones may be less likely to break.
