Creatine Reverses Fatty Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease is a common problem associated with the obesity epidemic. It can cause severe health problems that begin with chronic fatigue, weakness, nausea, fluid buildup, jaundice and liver failure. The problem is linked to obesity, alcoholism, dietary choline deficiency and overtraining. A study on rats led by Rafael Deminice from Memorial University of Newfoundland, St. John’s, Canada found that supplementing creatine monohydrate prevented fatty liver in animals fed choline-deficient diets. Creatine might be a simple way to prevent this serious health problem. (Journal Nutritional Biochemistry, 26: 391-397, 2015)
