Low-Dose creatine hydrochloride shows promise in small safety study

NCT ID NCT07521059

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This pilot study tested the short-term safety of a low-dose creatine hydrochloride supplement (750 mg per day) in 11 healthy adults over 28 days. The goal was to see if this more soluble form of creatine is safe at lower doses than typical creatine supplements. No serious side effects were reported, but the study was very small and had no placebo group, so more research is needed.
