$A wide, softly lit editorial still life on a warm, pale oat-colored surface. At the left, a lower leg and foot rest on a folded cream linen towel, wrapped in a matte white fiberglass cast with a subtle texture and a few faint pen scribbles near the ankle. The skin tone is natural and the lighting is gentle. At the center-right, a small ceramic bowl holds fine white creatine powder, with a matte wooden scoop resting beside it and a dusting of powder on the surface. Next to the bowl is a clear glass of water with light refracting through it, casting soft caustic ripples on the table. This hints at the water-retention idea without being literal. In the background on the right, slightly out of focus, a pair of light grey resistance bands and a small sage-green dumbbell sit on a wooden stool, suggesting rehab. A tall, leafy plant in a terracotta pot adds organic greenery at the edge of the frame. Morning sunlight streams from a window on the left and creates long, soft shadows and a warm golden-peach glow. The palette is cream, sage green, terracotta, soft sky-blue shadows, and touches of natural wood. The composition has generous negative space in the upper left for a title overlay. Shallow depth of field, shot as if with an 85mm lens, with fine film grain. The look is clean, calm, modern wellness-magazine photography with a minimalist, tactile, trendy feel.$

Kreatin u gipsu ne spašava mišiće, ali u rehabilitaciji je drugačije

BY DR. GYMBRO · 31. lis 2026.

Svi žele znati može li kreatin spasiti mišiće dok ozljeda zahtijeva gips. Sustavni pregled šest randomiziranih studija (118 mladih, 1–2 tjedna imobilizacije) pokazuje mješovite dokaze tijekom neaktivnosti, a neki navodni dobitci u mišićnoj masi vjerojatno su samo rezultat zadržavanja vode. Intrigantniji signal pojavljuje se u fazi rehabilitacije, gdje su dvije studije zabilježile veće dobitke u veličini kvadricepsa, snazi i eksplozivnosti uz kreatin. Evo stvarnih brojeva, ograničenja i tko bi to mogao isprobati.
