Recently, a study was conducted at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, that included 724 scholarship and non-scholarship athletes, about the use of creatine as a dietary supplement. Men who participated in sports such as football, basketball, diving and swimming were most likely to use creatine. Part of the reason for this lack of consensus may be that half of the athletes were not aware of the need for a loading dose. Ergogenic supplements like creatine can help improve performance, but athletes must first learn how to use them optimally.
Creatine supplements seem popular among college athletes.
