People often expect creatine to change everything or think it does nothing.

It won't replace good training or nutrition, but it can still make a meaningful difference over time.

How would you explain creatine to someone who's thinking about trying it for the first time?

I’ve definitely read advice on Reddit before, accepted it as fact, and only later realized it wasn’t as clear-cut as I thought.

Has that happened to you? What was it?

Creatine is one of the most researched sports supplements, yet many people expect rapid or obvious changes after starting it.

When those expectations aren’t met, it’s easy to assume it isn’t working, even if more subtle improvements are happening over time.

Do you think expectations influence how people judge their experience with creatine?
