The Claim
Supplementation with medium-dose creatine hydrochloride (1500 mg/day) for 8 weeks favorably modulates serum lipid profiles in perimenopausal and menopausal women, as evidenced by statistically significant changes compared to placebo, thereby potentially reducing cardiovascular risk.
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 1500 mg of creatine hydrochloride daily for 8 weeks improves blood lipid levels in perimenopausal and menopausal women, and these changes reduce cardiovascular risk.
See the scientific wording
Medium-dose creatine hydrochloride (1500 mg/day) supplementation for 8 weeks favorably modulates serum lipid profiles in perimenopausal and menopausal women, as evidenced by statistically significant changes (p < 0.05) compared to placebo, potentially reducing cardiovascular risk.
Creatine helps liver cells make more energy. With more energy, liver cells switch to burning fat instead of making fat. This lowers bad fats in the blood and improves cholesterol levels.
What the research says
1 studyThe study gave some women going through menopause 1500 mg of creatine every day for 8 weeks and found that their blood fat (cholesterol) levels improved compared to those who took a fake pill, which means the claim is backed up by this study.
