The latest on creatine

Explore our lecture series on “The latest on creatine” with Dr Scott Forbes, Professor Darren Candow, and Professor Abbie Smith-Ryan. Across three lectures, the speakers examine creatine’s applications for endurance performance, healthy ageing, and female athletes, including its mechanisms and dosing. The talks also explore the effects of creatine on muscle, bone and cognition and the importance of individualised supplementation strategies.

What we will cover:
How can creatine support endurance performance?

What benefits does creatine offer healthy ageing?

How does creatine affect muscle, bone, and brain health?

Do female athletes require different creatine strategies?

How should creatine dosage be individualised across populations?
