Taking creatine supplements helps healthy adults lose body fat.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that taking creatine supplements helps healthy adults lose body fat?

Partly. One meta-analysis of adults aged 50 and over reports mixed individual findings on creatine and fat mass, while a large 2026 three-level meta-analysis of resistance training plus creatine found no significant effect on fat mass and only a slight reduction in body-fat percentage; a clinical review notes weight gain as creatine's most common side effect. No retrieved source addresses healthy adults generally taking creatine without resistance training.
