On food packaging, the term vegetable oil is often used in ingredients lists instead of specifying the exact plant being used, especially when the oil used is less desirable to the consumer or if a mix is used, such as palm, canola, soybean, and safflower oils, (whereas coconut oil and olive oil may be more desirable).
So in theory, under controlled conditions, creatine may work, but does it translate to you stirring it up and drinking it down at home. Creatine will help you lift more weight, more times in the gym, and will help your muscles repair more quickly. Itâs a similar claim as many muscle-gaining supplements on the market.
Creatine is most commonly used for improving exercise performance and increasing muscle mass in athletes and older adults. There is some science supporting the use of creatine in improving the athletic performance of young, healthy people during brief high-intensity activity such as sprinting. Also, creatine does not seem to increase endurance or improve performance in highly trained athletes. 2  There is some evidence that creatine âloading,â using 20 grams daily for 5 days, may be more effective than continuous use.
