Methodology
Randomized controlled trial of creatine plus glycerol supplementation on total body water and blood parameters in healthy men.
Key Findings
Combined creatine and glycerol increased total body water significantly compared with control.
Conclusions
Creatine co-ingestion augments glycerol-induced hyperhydration.
Limitations
Small sample of trained men; no performance endpoint.
Supplements Studied
Creatine Monohydrate
Amino Acid
