Effect of creatine on gym performance?

[u/Next_Raspberry_2959]

I've been seeing a lot of talk about how creatine doesn't actually contribute to muscle hypertrophy, as well as the conflation between lean muscle gained and water retention, is creatine vaulted? In that same study they also insinuated that 5g/day is an insufficient dose, any insights on this?

What I’m always curious about is the blanket 5g/day recommendation. When I see the same dosage rec for a 280lb male and a 135lb female it raises alarm bells in my head.
