The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has authorised the following health claims for this ingredient:

With a daily intake of 3 g, creatine increases physical performance during high-speed strength training as part of short-term intensive physical activity

A positive effect occurs when:
a) if strength training is practised regularly
and
b) the load can be increased over time and the strength training is performed at least three times a week over several weeks at an intensity of at least 65% to 75% of the 1-repetition maximum (**********)
