The Claim
Creatine supplementation has been applied in clinical models of Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, gyrate atrophy, neuromuscular disorders, McArdle’s disease, and congestive heart failure, with reported therapeutic benefits.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
People have tried giving creatine, a supplement often used by athletes, to patients with several serious muscle and brain diseases, and some studies say it helped them feel better.
