The Claim
Creatine supplementation appears safe and well-tolerated, with no increased risk of renal, hepatic, or cardiovascular adverse events compared to placebo, based on analyses of over 12,800 participants.
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 supplementation is safe and well-tolerated. It does not increase the risk of kidney, liver, or heart problems compared to a placebo, according to data from over 12,800 participants.

Creatine helps cells make energy more efficiently, which reduces harmful waste products and keeps blood vessels healthy. It also helps the body burn fat better, preventing fat buildup that can harm the liver and heart.
What the research says
1 studyThis study looked at whether creatine affects cholesterol and fats in the blood and found no important changes, suggesting it doesn't harm heart health — which partly supports the idea that creatine is safe.
