Summary
At least 1 gram a day of creatine can support children’s bone and muscle health, Darren Candow said, extending the supplement’s use beyond gym performance into daily nutrition.
Candow also said recommended-dose creatine may aid cancer rehabilitation and show anti-cancer potential, while researchers are still exploring possible benefits for Alzheimer’s treatment.
During high-intensity exercise, creatine helps replenish ATP stores, which Candow said boosts strength, lean mass and muscle thickness over time—especially in younger users.
Plant-based eaters may benefit most because dietary creatine intake is lower, and Candow said elevated creatinine in users is misread as kidney damage 99 out of 100 times.
The University of Regina researcher, who has published 175 papers and made Stanford’s 2025 top 2% scientists list, framed creatine as one of the most extensively studied supplements.
