Creatine supplements are popular among fitness enthusiasts. It’s no wonder, with research showing it may help improve strength and power, and support recovery between workouts.
Participants were randomly assigned to either receive a daily creatine supplement or a placebo . The treatment and placebo were an identical white powder that was mixed into water. This ensured neither the participants nor the researchers knew who’d received the creatine supplement until the trial was complete. The trial lasted over six months, ensuring the creatine had enough time to have an effect.
After six months, the creatine group was shown to have higher concentrations of creatine in their muscles and brain tissue compared with the placebo group. But when the researchers looked at fatigue levels – both objective and self-reported – they found there was no difference between the placebo group and the creatine group.
These results suggest that creatine appears to have had a positive effect on some self-reported long COVID symptoms. But creatine did not appear to have any effect on physical fatigue, which was a key focus of the trial. Need for research This is the first study examining the use of creatine to treat symptoms of long COVID. The results are encouraging, and suggest it may be worth further exploration. But this is by no means enough evidence to warrant recommending this supplement to anyone who has long COVID.
