Creatine has been a staple in bodybuilding circles for decades, but during the last couple of years, it’s evolved from gym bro hero to rising wellness star. From barbells to biohacking, creatine is having a moment. Once pigeonholed as a supplement to help bodybuilders bulk up, creatine is now being recognized for its broader health benefits, from boosting cognitive performance to offering metabolic support. As the buzzy longevity discourse becomes more mainstream and GLP-1 medications reshape weight loss narratives, this humble amino acid compound is finally getting the praise it deserves.

Backed by decades of research, creatine is one of the most studied (yet misunderstood) supplements on the market. Experts across functional and traditional medicine are now helping to set the record straight, debunking myths about kidney damage, hair loss, and weight gain and highlighting creatine’s role in brain health, energy production, and healthy aging.
