Creatine Claims in Question: What Thai Fitness Fans Need to Know
A new study from the University of New South Wales in Sydney challenges the idea that creatine supplementation reliably boosts muscle growth. The findings suggest that, for some individuals, adding creatine to a three-month weightlifting program may not lead to bigger muscles compared with training alone.
The research drew broad media attention by testing participants in a structured resistance training plan. Results showed no significant difference in muscle mass gains between those who took creatine and those who did not. While creatine remains popular among athletes and gym-goers for potential performance benefits, this study invites a more nuanced view of its role in hypertrophy.
