- Common gym supplement could help fight depression, new research suggests
A systematic review suggests creatine monohydrate may help improve depression symptoms when used as an add-on treatment, though results from five trials were mixed. Some studies showed benefits in depression and cognitive behavioral therapy, while others found no significant improvements, particularly in bipolar depression and teen populations. Researchers emphasize the evidence is preliminary and further exploration is needed.
