Is it true that creatine supplementation increases the risk of rhabdomyolysis in healthy adults?
Unclear. The CDC lists creatine among supplements that can increase rhabdomyolysis risk, and one case report describes rhabdomyolysis in an adolescent using creatine alongside hypothyroidism and dehydration. Neither source establishes that creatine supplementation increases rhabdomyolysis risk specifically in healthy adults.
