Does creatine help with weight loss?

Creatine is a natural compound made by your body and found in foods like meat and fish. It helps your muscles produce energy during high-intensity exercise such as lifting or sprinting, and it’s one of the most well-researched supplements available.

When you first start taking creatine, you might notice a small increase in weight — but this is water retention in your muscles, not fat gain. Creatine helps you train harder, build strength, and increase lean muscle mass over time.

While creatine doesn’t directly burn fat, it can indirectly support fat loss. More lean muscle means your body burns slightly more energy at rest. Research shows that when combined with resistance training, creatine can lead to a small reduction in body-fat percentage, particularly in older adults.

So what’s the truth?
Creatine doesn’t cause fat gain — and while it isn’t a fat-burner, it helps build lean muscle, improve performance, and support long-term weight management.

No, vaccines do not cause autism.

This myth began with a small study in 1998 that claimed there was a connection. This study was later retracted for poor research methods. Since then, multiple large-scale studies have repeatedly proven no association between vaccines and autism.

A major 2013 study found that children who developed autism had the same immune response to vaccines as those who didn’t, confirming there’s no link.

So why do some people still believe it?
Autism symptoms usually appear between 12–18 months, around the same time children receive routine vaccinations. This timing can make it seem related — but it isn’t.

Extensive research involving over 1.8 million children found no link between autism and:

The MMR vaccine

Thimerosal, a vaccine preservative

Receiving multiple vaccines at once

Scientists believe autism develops from a mix of genetic and environmental factors, not vaccines. These may include genetic changes affecting early brain development, parental age, or pregnancy-related factors.

The evidence is clear — vaccines do not cause autism. ✅

It’s Movember — a month dedicated to raising awareness for men’s health. 💙

From mental wellbeing to prostate and testicular health, Movember is about starting the conversations that matter. It’s about reminding men that it’s okay to talk, okay to check, and okay to ask for help.

Too often, men’s health concerns go unnoticed or unspoken. This month, take the time to reach out to a friend, a brother, or a colleague — sometimes a simple chat can make all the difference.

At Quick Meds, we’re supporting men’s health through awareness, access, and understanding — because looking after yourself isn’t just about treatment, it’s about taking action early.

Think sugar-free means risk-free? 🥤 Not always. While cutting out sugar can be a smart move, some “zero” or “diet” drinks come with their own side effects — from changes in appetite to effects on your teeth. 🦷

It’s all about balance and moderation when it comes to making healthier choices. ⚖️

Can your coffee boost your hair too?

Caffeine isn’t just for energy — studies show it may help stimulate hair follicles, block DHT (a hormone linked to hair loss), and support thicker, stronger growth when used in shampoos or serums.

But before you start pouring espresso on your head… 🫣 it’s all about the right kind of caffeine care.
