@hayliepomroy: People ask me about creatine all the time, so here’s my honest answer. You couldn’t pay me to take it. In my clinic we look at labs, blood cells and cortisol curves, and I find it can be really dehydrating for a lot of people. If you have elevated lipoprotein(a) or a tendency toward a high calcium score, I’d be very careful. I know you’ve heard it’s one of the most studied supplements out there. But always ask who’s paying for the studies. In natural health we can’t act like big pharma. We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard. 💛 Go to hayliepomroy.com/book and I’ll send you my book Toxic Overload for free.
There are thousands of peer reviewed studies on creatine

Creatine Summary
How much research exists: Creatine is one of the most studied supplements ever. The largest count comes from Kreider et al. (2025) 685 clinical trials involving ~26,000 participants since the 1970s, about 95% using creatine monohydrate, plus 400+ scholarly reviews and 100 meta-analyses.
Good: Meta-analyses consistently show creatine plus resistance training improves strength, power, and lean mass. Safety record is excellent — the 685-trial analysis and CRN’s 2026 review found no serious adverse events, with trials spanning infants to the very elderly at doses up to 30 g/day. Emerging evidence suggests possible cognitive and bone-health benefits.
Bad (minor): Occasional bloating or GI upset, 1–3 lbs of water weight gain, and a “check with your doctor first” caveat for existing kidney disease. Nearly all evidence supports monohydrate only — premium alternatives don’t outperform it.
Industry ties: AlzChem (maker of Creapure) supplied creatine for hundreds of trials, funds publications and conferences, and staffs advisory boards with the field’s top researchers. A 2026 meta-analysis found ~61% of trials had some industry sponsorship. However, NIH-funded independent trials and WoodNext Foundation studies reached similar safety conclusions, so the converging evidence from multiple funding sources remains credible.

Creatine damaged my kidneys while causing more kidney stones than a person should ever have to deal with. Everywhere you look people say how great it is, but for me it was not
