“Creatine good for health”
MEDIUM CONFIDENCE
TL;DR ·Creatine reliably aids muscle and strength and is generally safe, but 'good for health' is broad.
The claim is broad, but the evidence supports a qualified yes. Creatine, especially with resistance training, increases muscle strength, size and athletic performance per the Mayo Clinic . PolitiFact notes it helps build a bit of muscle and is generally safe for healthy people, and warns against overpromising . A peer-reviewed review reports accumulating evidence of benefits in older and patient populations , and the AMA notes it can help older adults with loss of lean body mass, though it will not cause fat loss on its own . On safety, a 2025 review in Frontiers in Nutrition found creatine monohydrate generally safe when used appropriately, with more research needed . Cedars-Sinai reports large reviews show no increased kidney or liver risk in healthy people . Caveats: Harvard says high-dose loading offers no advantage , Cleveland Clinic notes possible side effects such as GI discomfort , and caution is advised for people with kidney or liver disease or high blood pressure . Most documented benefits concern muscle and exercise performance rather than general health, so 'good for health' is accurate but should be read with those limits in mind.
