topicCreatine Sleep Latency Meta-Analysis
claimVitamin D insufficiency has been associated with increased risk of musculoskeletal injury, and interventional studies in a small population of dancers suggest potential reductions in injury incidence and enhanced muscle function with supplementation, although dancer-specific evidence remains scarce ().

topicCreatine Sleep Latency Meta-Analysis
claimContemporary meta-analyses and systematic reviews in athletes found that NSAIDs do not reliably improve neuromuscular performance or recovery and their routine prophylactic use is not supported as an ergogenic strategy (), even though recent evidence highlights the potential hypertrophy benefits ().
