Creatine supplementation combined with resistance training leads to greater increases in skeletal muscle mass (SMM), total body water, and intracellular water (ICW) compared to placebo.
Creatine supplementation may enhance muscle mass and hydration in resistance-trained individuals.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Both groups showed improvements (p < .05) in SMM, total body water, and ICW, with greater values observed for the Cr group compared with placebo.
