The Claim
Creatine supplementation is associated with increased intramuscular and cerebral stores of creatine and phosphocreatine, which may help prevent ATP depletion, stimulate protein synthesis, reduce protein degradation, and stabilize biological membranes.
What the research says
Roughly balanced
Support and challenge are close. The picture may shift as more studies come in.
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 supplements might help your muscles and brain store more energy, which could keep your cells from running out of power, help build muscle, stop muscle from breaking down, and keep your cell walls stable.

Creatine supplementation is associated with increased intramuscular and cerebral stores of creatine and phosphocreatine, which may help prevent ATP depletion, stimulate protein synthesis, reduce protein degradation, and stabilize biological membranes.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Clinical pharmacology of the dietary supplement creatine monohydrate.
This study says taking creatine supplements boosts creatine levels in muscles and the brain, which helps keep energy levels up, builds muscle, and protects cells — just like the claim says.
