Association of dietary creatine intake from meat protein sources with different types of intestinal problems: insights from NHANES 2005–2010

Further large-scale studies are warranted to clarify creatine's role in gastrointestinal health. These findings highlight the potential of creatine as a dietary factor in promoting gut health.
