Benefits of Creatine: It's not just for athletes
Stephanie Nickitas • April 20, 2025
WHY ALMOST EVERYONE, NOT JUST ATHLETES, SHOULD BE TAKING CREATINE
I’m sure you’ve heard me talk about the benefits of creatine for strength and fitness many times, and it turns out, there's even more benefits that go way beyond performance in the gym. This INTERVIEW
with Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Darren Candow
“Creatine's scientifically backed benefits have expanded significantly, showing promise for bones, the brain and cognitive function, cardiometabolic and vascular health, the immune system and inflammation, and even children, pregnant women, and vegans/vegetarians. It's clear that this supplement has a broad range of potential benefits beyond athletic performance.”
Dr. Candow has extensively explored creatine's effects across various populations and health conditions, contributing over 140 published scientific papers which have been pivotal in demonstrating creatine's safety and efficacy beyond the athletic domain and expanding our understanding of the therapeutic and health-promoting applications across age groups.
