What backs it

A Texas A&M study of 64 healthy adults aged 45–65 found that those taking 10 grams of creatine daily for 12 weeks gained approximately 2.4 pounds of lean tissue and increased bench and leg press strength, even without following a structured exercise routine.

Worth noting

This was a 12-week study of 64 people. Medical professionals should be consulted before starting supplements, particularly by those with kidney or liver disease, pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, or those with certain mental health conditions.
