The Claim
Creatine supplementation at a dosage of 0.14 g/kg/day for two years, combined with resistance training, has no effect on bone mineral density at the femoral neck, total hip, or lumbar spine in postmenopausal women.
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 creatine daily for two years along with strength training does not change bone density in the hip, spine, or femoral neck of postmenopausal women.
See the scientific wording
Creatine supplementation (0.14 g/kg/day) for two years with resistance training has no effect on bone mineral density at the femoral neck, total hip, or lumbar spine in postmenopausal women.
Creatine gives bone-building cells more energy, helping them reshape the outer structure of bones to make them stronger against bending, but it does not change how much mineral is packed inside the bone.
What the research says
1 studyTaking creatine daily for two years with strength training didn’t make bones in the hip or spine any denser in older women, even though it made their bones a bit stronger in shape and helped them walk faster.
