Can creatine help your mental health? The evidence so far

Original: Can creatine help your mental health? Here’s what the latest evidence says

Creatine, a supplement best known for boosting athletic performance, is being examined for possible mental health benefits. According to a review of the latest research, early studies suggest creatine may modestly help with depression, particularly alongside standard treatment, possibly by supporting the brain's energy metabolism. However, researchers stress the evidence remains limited and inconsistent, and people should not replace prescribed treatment with supplements based on current findings.

Why now: Growing public interest in cheap, accessible supplements as potential aids for depression and mental wellbeing
