Health fads come and go

Creatine is a health fad? No other supplement has been this widely-used for such a long time. It was considered safe and effective when I started using it 30 years ago. The benefits are/were well established, the mechanisms well-known, the safety is impeccable. If anything, it's the most well-established supplement on the market - the exact opposite of a fad!

OP was asking why the attention now though specifically. I'm not calling it quackery, etc.

		My point is that creatine has had significant attention on it for decades. OP perceives an increase in attention but that's just a reflection of their knowledge (Baader–Meinhof effect)
