Description

Weight Gain: Creatine can cause weight gain, as it can help the body to retain water. This is usually a temporary effect, and the weight gain should go away once the body adjusts to creatine supplementation.

In the short term, creatine supplementation may increase total body weight. This is most likely due to water retention in the muscle rather than an increase in muscle or fat mass. Long term creatine alongside resistance training can lead to greater lean muscle mass gains due to increased training volume and recovery.
