The Claim
In older adults hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke, oral creatine supplementation at a dose of 20 g/day for 7 days is safe and well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported, although mild gastrointestinal symptoms and transient increases in serum creatinine may occur.
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.
Older adults in the hospital for a certain kind of stroke can safely take a specific dose of creatine for a week — it’s generally well-tolerated, though some might get mild stomach issues or temporary changes in a kidney-related blood test.
