Description
1 study reviewed
In plain English

Taking creatine supplements at 10–20 grams per day for six weeks does not lead to measurable changes in body fat, muscle mass, how much people move, or how many calories they consume.

See the scientific wording

Creatine supplementation at 10–20 g/day for 6 weeks does not significantly change body composition, physical activity levels, or energy intake in healthy young adults, indicating that observed cognitive or neurophysiological outcomes are unlikely to be confounded by changes in these factors.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Dose–Response of Creatine Supplementation on Cognitive Function in Healthy Young Adults

    This study gave people creatine for six weeks and found no changes in their weight, activity levels, or how much they ate — meaning any brain effects they saw weren’t because they got fitter or ate more.
