What Goes on This Page, and What Does Not
This page is the research shelf. When a study on creatine, vitamin B12, or taurine lands, it gets read here and posted here, with the citation attached and the limits stated in the same breath as the result.
It exists because the alternative is what everybody else does: a headline, a percentage, no link, and no way for you to check. We would rather hand you the paper.
WHAT EARNS A SPOT
- Humans. Published research in people. Cell and animal work can be fascinating and it is not what we post here
- Findable. Every entry names the journal, the year, and a PubMed ID or DOI that you can open yourself
- Our three compounds. Creatine, vitamin B12, taurine. That is the formula, so that is the beat
- Read at the source. We go to the paper, not to the article about the paper. Numbers drift by the time they reach a headline
WHAT EVERY ENTRY HAS TO CARRY
- The dose and the form. Creatine monohydrate at 5 grams and creatine hydrochloride at 1.5 grams are not the same test. If a study used something other than what we make, the entry says so out loud
- The sample size. A trial of 36 people gets labeled as a trial of 36 people
- The limits. Every entry has a section on what the study does not show. That section is not optional and it does not get trimmed when the result is flattering
- The hedge, word for word. If the authors wrote "may," we write "may." Quotation marks do a lot of work on this page
- Funding and conflicts. If a creatine manufacturer paid for something, you read it here rather than finding it later
NULL RESULTS GET POSTED TOO
A study that finds nothing is still information, and it is usually the more useful kind. When a trial reports no effect on something people expect creatine to help, that goes up the same as a positive result. A research shelf that only holds good news is a marketing page wearing a lab coat.
WHAT THE STANDARD LOOKS LIKE IN PRACTICE
The two entries this shelf opened with are both on creatine and menopause. Both link straight to the source, and both carry a section on what the study does not show.
- Creatine After Menopause: What 608 Women Across 7 Trials Showed, a 2026 meta analysis in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition (PubMed 42141930)
- Creatine and the Menopause Brain: Inside the CONCRET-MENOPA Trial, a 2026 randomized controlled trial in the Journal of the American Nutrition Association (PubMed 40854087)
One is a pooled read across two decades of trials. One is a small, sharp trial using a form of creatine we do not sell. Both belong here, and the entries say which is which.
WHAT THIS PAGE IS NOT
This is research on ingredients, in healthy people. It is not a claim about what our product does for you, and it is not medical advice in either direction. If you are weighing whether creatine belongs in your routine alongside a medication or a condition, that conversation belongs with your clinician, who knows things about you that a journal abstract never will.
SEND US ONE
Studies reach us from customers, from our own reading, and from people on our team forwarding a link on a Tuesday morning. If you find one worth a look, send it over. If it clears the bar above, it goes up here with your find credited to nobody but the researchers, which is where the credit belongs.
The longer explainers live in The Lab. This shelf is for the papers themselves.
see you in the wild!
