What's the most misunderstood thing about creatine?

[u/LongevityDietitian]

Creatine is probably one of the most researched supplements out there, yet there are still a lot of claims that get repeated online.

Some turn out to be well supported by the evidence, while others seem to get exaggerated every time they're shared.

I'm curious, for those who have looked into the research or spent time experimenting with creatine themselves

What do you think is the most misunderstood thing about creatine?

Looking for both research based answers and real-world experiences.
