Description
Oliver Price and co-authors test creatine for breathing muscle strength in this 2026 study. Weak breathing muscles limit exercise in ageing and disease, and treatment options are few. Creatine is a common supplement for limb muscles, so the team asked whether it helps the muscles that draw breath.
In the human part, 29 healthy men did four weeks of breathing muscle training, half with creatine and half without. The creatine group gained 33 percent in breathing strength, against 18 percent without it. In mice with heart failure, creatine improved the main breathing muscle's force and fatigue resistance, though it did nothing in healthy mice. The authors see promise for both settings.
