Helps Treat Depression
Studies about creatine supplements’ link to depression remain scarce, but available research saw potential benefits to the condition. For instance, a study conducted in South Korea saw an improvement in 52 women participants with major depressive disorder after incorporating 5 grams of creatine supplements into their daily anti-depressant. The finding observed improvements in the symptoms as early as two weeks and continued until weeks four and eight.
Another study investigated the effect of creatine and whether it could be used as a treatment in females with depression who are also using methamphetamine. Fourteen participants participated in the research, but only 11 completed the study. Based on the result, creatine could aid the treatment of depression and methamphetamine addiction in females.
