The Claim
Creatine supplementation combined with resistance training increases bone density in humans.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Taking creatine supplements along with resistance training leads to higher bone density in humans.
See the scientific wording
Creatine supplementation, when combined with resistance training, supports increased bone density
Creatine gives bone-building cells more energy so they can make more bone, while stronger muscles pull harder on bones during exercise, signaling the bones to thicken and become denser.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Effects of Creatine and Resistance Training on Bone Health in Postmenopausal Women.
Taking creatine supplements along with weight training helped older women keep their hip bone density from dropping as much as it normally would — meaning their bones stayed stronger.
