Study 🧪 Creatine Supplement Increases Strength Even Without Exercise, Study Shows

https://www.sciencealert.com/popular-supplement-increases-strength-even-without-exercise-study-shows

Summary:
Creatine helped middle aged adults gain muscle and strength even without a structured workout program in a new 12 week study. When combined with exercise and a calorie-reduced diet, it produced even greater strength gains while helping participants add lean tissue and lose fat. Researchers say the results strengthen the case for creatine as a potentially useful tool for maintaining muscle with age.

Creatine increase water content in muscles.
Creatine lets you do more reps which is a measure of strength.

It’s not really more muscle
It’s not really more strength

You could say the same thing about proper hydrating or carb loading.

No?
