Creatine is a popular supplement used to help build muscle, but researchers in Australia are questioning its effectiveness.

Investigators from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Sydney found that individuals who took creatine while performing a three-month weightlifting regimen put on the same amount of muscle as those who did not take the supplement while lifting.

That’s according to their recent study, which was published in the journal Nutrients.

IDK why anyone uses creatine when Test exists. They’re both “supplements” IMO.

Interesting it doesn’t mention the macro nutrient intake of the groups. If you’re not hitting your protein macros daily then you won’t build much muscle with or without creatine.
