Direct link to the study: https://jpbs.hapres.com/htmls/JPBS_1766_Detail.html

I wanted to check the dosages they used. Looks like the review includes studies ranging from 5g/day to 20-25g/day.

(Typical dosage you'll see for daily use is 5 grams)

Feels like a sign of the times that I expect half the comments here to be paid astroturfing about how amazing creatine is.

Creatine is one of the few supplements I actually notice a difference if I quit taking. Happy to see it’s benefits extend to beyond performance in the gym.

Unfortunately, I get terribly tired and brain-fogged from even small quantities. Anyone else experienced this?

How do you take Creatine ? And how much for what age group and weight?

I feel like crap when taking creatine... Actually most of these purported supplements are a no go. Preworkouts would work first session then make me ultra tired, caffeine is fine as long as I 'cycle' it...

Wondering strongly if those studies are not just to sell more cheap supplements... As long as for some reason we find that it has some level of effect on most people.

It has some effect for sure but not sure it is that positive... Besides, I don't know if it helped jump start the process or not but I build muscle either way, on little protein, no creatine... Carbs seem to be more important actually.

Anyway, let me take a scoop of creatine to try again, even though I am unconvinced... Hope sells... :s

(I think hydration levels are more important and that is not solved by drinking low mineralized water although I find it has better taste, it gets rid of tiredness)
