Supplementing with creatine is very popular amongst athletes and exercising individuals for improving muscle mass, performance and recovery. In this great talk, Prof. Jose Antonio, PhD (Nova Southeastern University, USA), Prof. Scott Forbes, PhD (Brandon University, Canada) and Prof. Trisha VanDusseldorp PhD (Kennesaw State University, USA), discuss about the ""Common questions and misconceptions about creatine supplementation: what does the scientific evidence really show?"".
Based on a evidence-based scientific evaluation of the literature, top scholar researchers on creatine supplementation answered common questions including:
1. Does creatine lead to water retention?
2. Is creatine an anabolic steroid?
3. Does creatine cause kidney damage/renal dysfunction?
4. Does creatine cause hair loss / baldness?
5. Does creatine lead to dehydration and muscle cramping?
6. Is creatine harmful for children and adolescents?
7. Does creatine increase fat mass?
8. Is a creatine ‘loading-phase’ required?
9. Is creatine beneficial for older adults?
10. Is creatine only useful for resistance / power type activities?
11. Is creatine only effective for males?
12. Are other forms of creatine similar or superior to monohydrate and is creatine stable in solutions/beverages?

Glad you started with renal dysfunction. My doctor is seeing a creative increase in my kidney test.had my kidneys in for an ultrasound which showed kidneys are fine. So I’m back on creatine 5 mg/day. Thankyou🤗
Creatine not creative spellcheck🤪
Any ideas on creatine feeding prostate cancer?
Several urologists have said creatine can raise DHT, so "feed cancer," there's no evidence to suggest that directly, but it can exacerbate BPH. As to the relationship between BPH and prostate cancer, there may be one.
@@Joseph1NJ As a 22 year survivor of prostate cancer, which includes waiting 6 years, 2001-2007 before I began treatment I feel I know PCa as well as any layman including DHT which I have been following for 22 years as well as BPH. I had a gland of 75cc at Dx and I had a gland of 122ccs when I began treatment I would like something that proves creatine can "raise DHT" and also "exacerbate BPH". Sounds like a myth here with no basis in science. As for BPH and PCa I myself had a huge gland but I know many hundreds of men who had normal size glands with prostate cancer. Several urologists says it raised DHT. Really? That's good enough for you?
Current evidence does not suggest a direct causal relationship between creatine supplementation and prostate cancer. On the contrary, a recent study concluded that "Creatine is an important nutrient that promotes macrophage function by increasing ATP levels, ultimately contributing to enhanced anti-tumor immunity orchestrated by CD8+ T cells." (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37662917/). The ongoing study by Fairman et al. will provide further insights in this regard: Examining the effects of creatine supplementation in augmenting adaptations to resistance training in patients with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy: a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31542747/). In the mean time, we have to say that more research is needed to fully understand the link between creatine and prostate cancer.
@@waynejohnson9119 What does your urologist say about taking creatine supplements? Some studies have shown a relationship between creatine supplements and PSA levels. Others have not. Anything that raises my PSA could send me for another biopsy, and If I can, I'd like to avoid that.
How about creatine and sleep? Some users note a disturbed sleep, could it be the increased ATP in the brain? Would taking it only in the morning negate that effect?
My sleep duration decreased by about 10-15%. Taking creatine first thing doesn't negate that effect for me.
I think sleep is reduced as recovery/rest required, decreases whilst on creatine, which is one of the reasons I started using it.
@@onepalproductions How about the quality of your sleep, is it restful or feel active?
@@birage9885 It's restful, there's just less of it.
The relationship between creatine supplementation and sleep disturbances is not well-documented in scientific literature. Creatine supplements, when taken as directed and in recommended doses, are generally considered safe for healthy individuals (FDA GRAS No 931: www.fda.gov/media/143525/download and EFSA EFSA-Q-2015-00437: 10.2903/j.efsa.2016.4400).
Why don’t you have a clinician who is a nephrologist weigh in on this topic ? PhD’s have no clinical experience they do not treat patients and see the clinical issues that may arise from older individuals taking creatine . Nephrologist warn older individuals not to take creatine because its strain on the kidneys . Urologist and nephrologist both caution older patients from taking creatine. Physicians see the clinical side in blood work and the clinical picture they see in their patients . If you do not have actual clinical experience how can you comment on the end not have actual day to day clinical experience from working with actual patients you don’t see the long term end results .
Would it help me since I had a stroke.Can anybody help me out here with that thanks.
Creatine supplementation has been found to have potential effects on cardiovascular system. In fact, when taken as directed and at recommended doses, creatine is generally considered safe for healthy people. However, if someone has an underlying medical condition or compromised cardiovascular system, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any dietary supplement.
when they talk of weight gain is it because the muscles grow bigger weigh heavier ... or do you gain weight look more bloated, fatter ... what exactly happens anyone know !
Creatine supplementation does not increase fat mass across a variety of populations. Also, it is worth noting that there is no convincing evidence that creatine monohydrate causes common anecdotal myths such as bloating, gastrointestinal distress, disproportionately increased water retention, increased stress on the kidneys, increased susceptibility to injury, etc. Currently, we can say that creatine supplementation increases fat-free mass and upper- and lower-body strength in several populations.

I gained 6 pounds in three weeks on creatine. I took 5g during the first week and 2.5 to 3g after. I'm considering stopping. I haven't noticed any other positive changes. All this crap about there being little to no weight gain is BS. I'm eating mostly protein (fish, eggs, shrimp), fat with little carb during the week with higher carb on the weekend. I'm lifting for 45min to an hour 5x p/week and walking 7500 to 10000 steps. All that and the scale continues to go up. I don't look bloated my clothes don't fit any better. Very discouraging.
Count me in for a female menopausal study!
Thank you for your feedback.
I wonder if that woman is paid by the creatine sellers. She is trying so so hard to push creatine benifits
Or she is following the science
@@anthonyhulse1248 🤷♀️🤷♀️
I have been in medicine for 40 years I do not see her selling it but, rather, excited about the research and possible benefits for women. I am glad there is a woman in this field of study.
@@anthonyhulse1248We seen what’s happening to alot of young athletes who “Followed The Science” during the mrna push of 2021. Follow data, not orders.
Thanks for your comments
I guess both of these guys supplement with creatine because they are both bald ?
LOL!
Thank you for your feedback. The current body of evidence does not indicate that creatine supplementation increases total testosterone, free testosterone, DHT or causes hair loss/baldness. You can explore common questions and misconceptions about creatine supplementation at pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33557850/
Complementary, it's worth noting that a heightened intake of creatine through nutritional supplementation not only garners safety assurance (Food and Drug Administration - "Generally Recognized as Safe" No 931: www.fda.gov/media/143525/download and European Food Safety Authority EFSA-Q-2015-00437: 10.2903/j.efsa.2016.4400), but also ushers in a myriad of health benefits in several populations. You can explore further details in "Creatine in Health and Disease" (www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/2/447) and www.creatineforhealth.com
you also lose your hair
Men genetically disposed to losing their hair due to higher testosterone levels may lose some hair. It grows back once you stop Creatine.
That's a myth
