The Claim
Creatine supplementation is safe and well-tolerated in adolescents, with no serious adverse events expected.
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.
Creatine supplements do not cause serious side effects in teenagers. Research and FDA safety designation support that it is safe for use.
See the scientific wording
Creatine supplementation is safe and well-tolerated in adolescents, with no serious adverse events expected, based on prior research and FDA 'generally recognized as safe' designation.
Creatine is a natural substance in the body that helps muscles and brain make energy. When you take extra creatine as a supplement, your body absorbs it into the blood, sends it to tissues like muscle and brain, and uses it to recycle energy molecules. Any extra creatine that is not needed is turned into creatinine and removed by the kidneys in urine. This process keeps creatine levels balanced and prevents any buildup that could cause harm.
What the research says
1 studyThe study is a plan to test if creatine helps teenagers think better, and it says creatine is safe based on earlier studies, so it agrees with the claim that creatine supplements are safe for teenagers.
