Bonnie Jortberg, PhD, is not a fan of supplements.
“With most supplements, there’s not enough data to support their use,” she said. As a registered dietitian and associate professor of family medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine, she admits it’s unusual for her to support the use of any supplement.
Yet there does seem to be evidence that creatine can be beneficial.
“The evidence does support that it’s a safe supplement to take, and there are benefits to taking it, especially for women,” she said.
But before you add creatine powder to your cart, Jortberg encourages you to consider the following information about creatine, aging and your diet.
