New creatine formula tested for better absorption and less stomach trouble
NCT ID NCT07225335
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new creatine supplement called OptiCreatine against standard creatine monohydrate in 17 healthy, active adults. The goal was to see if OptiCreatine leads to higher creatine levels in the blood and fewer stomach issues. Participants took both supplements at different times, and researchers measured absorption and digestive comfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- OptiCreatine (a dietary supplement combining creatine with other compounds)
- What this could lead to
- If OptiCreatine works better, it could mean less stomach discomfort and better absorption for people who take creatine supplements.
- What could go wrong
- This was a very small study (17 people) in healthy adults, so results may not apply to everyone. The supplement industry often makes bold claims that don't hold up in larger trials.
