Just briefly: Creatine has been widely used for decades & has a safe & positive history. The physiology & dosage requirements are well explored. It is used to support overall health when sports-recovery, training & illness-recovery.

Less briefly: Creatine is for many processes in the body. Creatine is used by your mitochondria - both for energy & making androgen precursors. As a consequence, overall metabolism & especially repair & recovery depend on good creatine availability.

The above is important for recovery both from illness, training & during performance. It has been shown to improve many processes such as muscle growth (with training), recovery from strain injuries & also improved cognition.

It's estimated that dietary creatine only accounts for about 50% of needed creatine - any short-fall is made endogenously (by your body). Creatine production is not mediated by hormones so, there is little lag between stopping creatine supplementation & re-establishing base-line serum levels (blood concentration).

More specifically: There is much more to creatine than just avoiding soreness & muscle growth - creatine production is a major user of methylation enzymes. So, improving methylation capacity (by reducing the need for endogenous creatine production) helps many vital methylation activities which are very widely occurring within the body.

Advisory:
People with MTHFR or other single-nucleotide polymorphisms that slow down the methylation cycle may have less methyl buffer. So, using a creatine supplement lowers the biochemical demand on an already strained or sluggish methylation pathway.

And, be aware that creatine stops down-regulation of 'gaba' signaling so that persons with MTHFR may find that arousal is maintained or raised at times when sleep is required - especially when caffeine has been consumed recently before bedtime.
