7-day creatine ‘wash-in’ boosts muscle mass in women — but not long-term, study reveals

A 7-day creatine monohydrate wash-in increased lean body mass in females, especially in the trunk, but adding creatine to resistance training didn’t boost muscle gains beyond training alone. Higher doses or hydration tracking may be needed for long-term effects.
