Does Creatine Actually Work — and Who Benefits?

 

Creatine is now discussed for far more than gym performance, which can make a simple question — does creatine actually work? — surprisingly hard to answer. This episode separates the major decisions behind the buzz: strength and power, lean mass, endurance, postmenopausal women, healthy-aging and brain-health claims, dosing and loading, water-weight gain, kidney and overall safety, and product quality. It also looks at how much resistance training changes the picture and why the value of creatine depends on the outcome you care about. The goal is not to give creatine one universal verdict, but to make the evidence easier to match to your own priorities and expectations.
