There is even some research suggesting that creatine could even help with chronic conditions. In 2023, Ostojic and colleagues from the University of Novi Sad, Serbia, tested the effects of creatine supplements in 19 patients with long Covid.
The researchers gave 4g of creatine to half the participants, and a placebo to the other half. Then they monitored their symptoms, and the levels of creatine in their brain and muscles. After six months, the team found that those who received extra creatine had improved symptoms, including less brain fog and concentration difficulties. The more severe the disease, the lower levels of creatine in their bodies had been at the beginning of the study.
"The hypothesis was that the brain, under the stress of long Covid, depletes levels of creatine, which is a critical energy-supplying substance," Ostojic says.
