ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how taking a creatine supplement might help improve strength and muscle growth in young people who are already physically active and doing resistance training, like lifting weights. Creatine is a substance that can enhance muscle performance, but the researchers want to find out the best way to take it for the greatest benefits.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 39 years old and should have been doing structured resistance training at least twice a week for the past month. Unfortunately, if you’re pregnant, nursing, have taken creatine in the last 30 days, or have an allergy to the placebo used in the trial, you won’t be able to join. If you do take part, you can expect to follow a training program while either taking the creatine or a placebo (a harmless substitute that looks like the real thing) to see how it affects your strength and muscle growth. This study is currently recruiting participants, so it’s a great chance to contribute to important research!
