There is no study. It's a review in a journal I have never heard of. The article references a review, a clinical trial ongoing, a podcast and a meta analysis paper.
Creatine is not really bioavailable and subject to a pile of bad research that claims it treats everything. When it doesn't work in real trials, they blame dose. Hundreds of papers from second and third rate sports nutrition labs all funded by supplements makers. Then, there are hundreds of meta analysis papers that summarize shit science and call it consensus. Jabroni science.
Any supplements that claim to treat >30 conditions are a red flag. But this is how you sell to brahs. No, I don't even lift.
