Creatine Sleep Meta-AnalysisThis analysis investigated whether the dose or duration of CrM was associated with SEs.2Gonzalez DE (2026)Creatine Supplementation Dose and Duration Are Not Associated with Increased Side Effects: A Structured Review and Study-Level Dose-Response Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Creatine Sleep Meta-AnalysisAlthough dose and duration tertiles were statistically associated with study-level side effect reporting, the effect sizes were uniformly small, events were infrequent, and the reported symptoms were primarily mild and nonspecific.2Gonzalez DE (2026)Creatine Supplementation Dose and Duration Are Not Associated with Increased Side Effects: A Structured Review and Study-Level Dose-Response Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Creatine Sleep Meta-AnalysisNo consistent exposure-response pattern indicative of clinically meaningful risk was observed.2Gonzalez DE (2026)Creatine Supplementation Dose and Duration Are Not Associated with Increased Side Effects: A Structured Review and Study-Level Dose-Response Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Creatine Sleep Meta-AnalysisThere are concerns that high-dose and/or long-term creatine monohydrate supplementation (CrM) leads to greater side effects (SEs) compared to placebo.2Gonzalez DE (2026)Creatine Supplementation Dose and Duration Are Not Associated with Increased Side Effects: A Structured Review and Study-Level Dose-Response Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Creatine Sleep Meta-Analysis[] identified improvements in muscular strength, repeated sprint performance, power output, and fatigue resistance due to increased PCr availability, providing strong scientific support for creatine supplementation in athletic populations.3Kerksick Chad (2026)The emerging and evolving evidence supporting creatine as an ergogenic aid: history and applications
Creatine Sleep Meta-AnalysisThere is also some evidence to suggest that short-term CrM supplementation (i.e.3Kerksick Chad (2026)The emerging and evolving evidence supporting creatine as an ergogenic aid: history and applications
Creatine Sleep Meta-Analysis[] demonstrated improved repeated cycling performance following five days of CrM (4 × 5 g/day), suggesting a higher sustained power output during repeated cycling sessions.3Kerksick Chad (2026)The emerging and evolving evidence supporting creatine as an ergogenic aid: history and applications
