In this Metabolic Classroom lecture, Dr. Bikman breaks down the true nature and benefits of creatine—a molecule often misunderstood as merely a muscle-building supplement. Creatine plays a critical role in cellular energy production by helping regenerate ATP, especially in high-energy tissues like skeletal muscle and the brain. While our bodies produce creatine endogenously, supplementation can significantly enhance its availability and effects.

Ben discusses how creatine has been shown to improve physical performance, support brain health, and even influence glucose metabolism. It helps increase strength, power output, and recovery during resistance training. In the brain, it supports cognitive function and may protect against neurodegenerative conditions. For individuals with insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, creatine can improve glucose uptake by enhancing GLUT4 translocation.

He also addresses common myths—especially the misconception that creatine damages the kidneys. Ben emphasizes that while creatinine levels may rise with supplementation, this does not indicate harm in healthy individuals. He further explains the potential gene-level benefits of creatine, such as improved expression of IGF-1 and myogenic regulatory factors related to muscle health.

The lecture concludes with practical advice on dosing and choosing the right form of creatine, noting that creatine monohydrate remains the most effective and well-studied option. Ben encourages its use not just for athletes but for anyone looking to support muscle, brain, or metabolic health.
