Yes. None of the supposed action of creatine was backed by any statistically significant study. Just drink water. Or don't. It's up to you. | ||

Does creatine make you stronger? Yes. It’s very rare for a supplement to have such strong and consistent evidence. A widely-cited review says that short-term supplementation increases maximal power/strength by 5-15%. This in turn may increase the long-term gainz from strength-training exercise. Creatine also increases sprint performance by 1-5%. Though, there seems to be little if any benefit for endurance exercise like long-distance running. | ||
