Is Creatine Just for Muscles? New Study Says No

Creatine is known for building strength — but new research shows it may also reduce symptoms of depression.

In this episode, doctors break down a study where creatine, combined with CBT (cognitive-behavioural therapy), helped improve mental health. It’s safe, accessible, and now showing promise beyond physical performance.

We cover:

• How creatine affects brain function
• What a recent clinical trial revealed
• Whether creatine could support mood and therapy
• Who might benefit and if it's safe to try

If you take creatine or are curious about mental health supplements, this is for you.
