The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
I've been recommending this to patients for 6 months now. The big shift is patients actually do it because the explanation is concrete.
Same in nutrition counseling. The before/after framing helps.
Tracking with a CGM on top of this for 3 months. Variability dropped quickly and stayed dropped.
Worth noting the 0.71 SMD in the Kreider meta is in trained athletes. Effect in untrained adults runs closer to 0.3 — still meaningful, but the panel should reflect that gradient.
Good catch. Could the brief surface the training-status interaction inline?
Given the MASSIVE amount of research demonstrating the benefits of CREATINE (found only in animal foods) (PMID: 33572884 and about 3000 other studies), how anyone can argue that a plant-based diet is better for human health is beyond baffling to me.
creatine is one of the most researched ergogenic performance enhancing substances in our medical literature and that is exclusively found in animal Foods in appreciable quantities
creatine is this an important energy currency of the muscles and I think most athletes know about creatine and the fact that it's only found in animal Foods right which is crazy to me to think these guys yeah these guys like are like no red meat but what I'm gonna supplement with creatine you're a freaking professional football player right you're crazy
I think that at this point basically no one will argue that creatine is beneficial for humans and is perhaps the single most studied erogenic aid for humans ever and it occurs only in meat
5 g of creatine monohydrate daily improves muscle strength and lean mass in healthy adults at standard training loads.
Creatine improves cognitive performance, especially under sleep deprivation and high cognitive load.
Creatine improves cardiovascular health markers and reduces all-cause mortality risk.
Creatine supports bone-mineral density in post-menopausal women when paired with resistance training.
Women need higher creatine doses (8–10 g/day) than men to reach the same intramuscular saturation.
