Can creatine help with joints ?

A friend of mine says creatine helps with joint relief ? Keeps everything hydrated as he claims. Not sure if thats right lol...

Creatine promotes intramuscular hydration. It won't help with joint/ligaments.

Creatine is a really good supplement, it just won't do anything for joint pain

According to research there is some truth to that claim but I wouldn't rely on it as a primary joint supplement.

He's yanking your chain.

the key to joint health is proper form, genetics, diet, and working on breaking up scar tissue around the joints

Creatine simply "serves" to bloat those who use it, thereby propping up the illusion of "joint relief." This, then, leads to the very real possibility of exacerbating whatever ails your joints. So my advice is to discard your creatine and to then seek medical attention.

Look to use MSM or any joint supplements.

While I agree that Creatine will do f'all to aid joint issues the subject of bloat has been discussed at length. It's well worth pointing out that Creatine is among the most researched and recommended supplements there is. It's boost to ATP adds reps and or weight to the bar.

While creatine can, in fact, boost performance, I don't think that the bloat that creatine induces is a worthwhile tradeoff. I'm far too vain about my cuts.

I never got any bloat that I can tell from using creatine. But I have heard others that experiences the bloat.

That crap causes me a puffy appearance similar to that of a pregnant woman; as opposed to a pregnant man, of course.

I've seen people say this, thankfully I've never had this issue with Creatine. But I've also never had Creatine help me with joint pain.

I have arthritis, my joints hurt most of the time .. and no creatine is not beneficial at all for joints not even 1% and after a few years using it nearly non-stop I can affirm that
