“Cold-water immersion did not enhance the perception of fatigue at any other time points, nor did it alter muscle soreness or clearance of creatine kinase (a marker of muscle damage).”

Outcome indicators included measures of lactate dehydrogenase, creatine kinase, and creatine kinase isoenzyme, enzymes for which rapid increases are associated with myocardial ischemia and lesions – key clinical indicators of myocarditis.

“Creatine helps supply energy to muscles during high-intensity exercise and is commonly used to boost performance and muscle mass. However, determining the most effective creatine supplementation protocol has proven challenging.”

“Creatine is also present in the diet in meat and seafood and is widely used as a dietary supplement to build and maintain muscle mass. Although creatine is available in many forms, the bulk of the research on the compound has centered on creatine monohydrate.”

“Future research is needed to determine a dose of creatine that improves cognition without damaging kidney health, which is a concern for older adult populations. Link to full report. Read more about the effects of creatine on cognition, depression, physical performance, and more in this overview article.”

“Creatine often gets a bad rap online, but evidence suggests concerns about this naturally occurring compound are unfounded. A recent review found that creatine supplements are effective and safe, even when taken for long periods or in large doses.”

“Creatine is a nitrogen-containing compound that is produced in the liver and kidneys and is stored in the brain and muscles. It plays essential roles in the recycling of ATP and is widely used as a dietary supplement to build and maintain muscle mass.”

“Mice that had more of this specific gut bacterium also tended to have more creatine in their plasma. Bifidobacterium pseudolongum increased levels of the creatine transporter Slc6a8 in intestinal cells, supporting creatine uptake from the gut.”

“On the placebo night, reasoning performance fell by 6.8%. A few other measures also leaned in favor of creatine compared with placebo, but the evidence was statistically less robust.”

“Evidence suggests that creatine, a nutritional supplement that participates in cellular metabolism, enhances cognitive function in older adults. This review describes creatine’s roles in brain metabolism and highlights its potential as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease.”
