So the small issues you see with creatine, some people get kind of like nauseous or something like that from a little bit, but it's pretty uncommon.
Then you have random anecdotal reports of weird things, but that happens with physiology.
But on aggregate, it's an incredibly safe supplement to take.
Benefits are in muscle and performance, sure.
There's a little bit of research, actually.
Darren Kandow did a two-year study on post-menopausal women.
using this typical dosage for creatine that people say is like five grams per day.
He did 20 grams per day in postmenopausal women.
And they found some mild benefits in bone mineral density.
So not all the areas that they scanned improved.
Some of them did.
I think like hips area-ish did, but legs didn't or some variation.
So some plausible benefit.
It also highlights the fact that
Post-menopausal women took 4X the normal dosages for two years and had no issues, right?
No adverse events, basically, no kidney problems, no issues.
And so we're like, okay, maybe some mild benefits of bone mineral health, which is really hard to deal with, especially post-menopause, a huge deal for women.
We didn't even bring that up as a benefit of strength training, right?
And now you're either going to add some potential bone mineral density or you're going to maybe at least negate it from losing and from going away.
And then there's research on things like mood, brain health.
