David Céspedes, an expert in longevity: “If you take creatine for 47 days, you will see a complete change, more muscle mass and less fat”
The health professional has shared a video on TikTok in which he explains the benefits of taking creatine consistently for 47 days.

In the health and wellness world, creatine has established itself as one of the most popular nutritional supplements, especially due to its many benefits related to physical performance, muscular strength, and post-exercise recovery.
However, over time, many people have expressed distrust toward this naturally occurring organic compound because of alleged negative side effects. Kidney damage, hair loss, or excessive fat gain were some of the supposed consequences. After extensive research and analysis, these claims were shown to be unfounded.
As a result, many health professionals now recommend daily creatine intake. One of them is David Céspedes. The longevity expert, who is also a content creator on social media, shared a TikTok video detailing the benefits of taking this supplement continuously for 47 days.
@dr.davidcespedes 💪 Si tomaras creatina durante 47 días, esto es que le pasaría a tu cuerpo (según la ciencia). 🔹 Primera semana: empezarías a notar más energía y mejor rendimiento. La creatina aumenta la disponibilidad de fosfocreatina en el músculo, lo que permite hacer más repeticiones y retrasar la fatiga (PMID: 12500988, 28615996). 🔹 A las dos semanas: muchas personas notan la mente más despejada, mejor estado de ánimo y menos fatiga mental. La creatina también actúa en el cerebro, mejorando el metabolismo energético neuronal y la función cognitiva, especialmente en situaciones de estrés o cansancio (PMID: 29704637, 21118604). 🔹 Después de un mes: aparece un aumento claro de fuerza y una recuperación más rápida. La evidencia muestra menos daño muscular y menos dolor post-entrenamiento, lo que se traduce en más constancia y mejores resultados (PMID: 23442283, 18500975). 🔹 Al llegar a los 47 días: se consolida el cambio. Más masa muscular, mejor composición corporal y una sensación de energía más estable. La creatina es uno de los suplementos mejor estudiados para ganar músculo sin afectar negativamente a la salud cuando se usa a dosis correctas (PMID: 28698222, 12701815). 🧠 Además, estudios en adultos y personas mayores muestran que la creatina no solo mejora rendimiento físico, sino que puede apoyar la función neuromuscular y la calidad de vida con la edad (PMID: 29704637, 21058755). 👉 Conclusión científica: La creatina no es solo para culturistas. Es uno de los suplementos más seguros, eficaces y respaldados por la ciencia para energía, fuerza, músculo y función cerebral. Y si quieres saber qué otros 5 suplementos con respaldo científico real (tipo Harvard) pueden ayudarte a vivir más, mejor y con más vitalidad, sígueme.

“If you took creatine for 47 days, this is what would happen to your body,” the health professional explains. “After one week, you would start to notice more energy. You could do a couple of extra reps without getting out of breath. After two weeks, your mind would feel clearer, your mood more stable, and you would experience less fatigue and greater focus.”
After one month, the changes become more noticeable. “You would see a real jump in strength and much faster recovery. Less muscle soreness and a stronger desire to stay active,” he explains.
Finally, as he announced at the beginning of the video, David Céspedes reveals what would happen if the habit is maintained “through day 47.”
“You would see a complete transformation, more muscle mass, less fat, and a constant feeling of energy,” he concludes.
Users critical of creatine
The video, which accumulated more than 1.3 million views, around sixty thousand likes, and hundreds of comments in just a few hours, has drawn the attention of many users. Many of them shared their personal experiences with creatine, most of which were negative.
“I have been taking it for two months and noticed nothing,” “It makes me feel fatigued,” “It caused stomach pain and bloating, so I stopped,” “I had kidney problems at 25 in my case,” or “I took creatine for one day, and shortly after I started getting a lot of acne on my back. I had never had acne before” are just some of the many reactions found in the comments.
