The Claim
Creatine supplementation at a dosage of 3 g/day for 14 weeks is safe and well-tolerated in amateur soccer players, with no adverse effects reported and adherence rates of 94.3%.
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 3 grams of creatine daily for 14 weeks does not cause adverse effects in amateur soccer players and most of them continue taking it as directed.
