INTRODUÇÃO: A Creatina (CR) é uma substância produzida naturalmente pelo organismo, sendo formada por três aminoácidos: glicina; metionina; arginina. Ela também pode ser consumida na alimentação. Em razão disso, a CR tem sido constantemente analisada no intuito de verificar o seu impacto e efetividade no controle de doenças e também para a saúde como um todo. OBJETIVO: Descrever os benefícios da CR na saúde e no controle de doenças. METODOLOGIA: Foi realizado um estudo descritivo exploratório, através de uma revisão de literatura integrativa, realizando pesquisa e recolhimento de dados científicos organizados por meio de apuração de artigos associados com o objeto do estudo. Elaborou-se um quadro com o propósito de apresentar de forma objetiva as principais informações coletadas. RESULTADOS: Foram selecionados 11 artigos que se enquadravam nos objetivos e nos critérios de inclusão. Elaborou-se um quadro com o propósito de apresentar de forma objetiva as principais informações coletadas. CONSIDERAÇÕES FINAIS: A CR é crucial para melhorar a resistência muscular e o desempenho físico. Além disso, pode ter benefícios em doenças como Parkinson, Alzheimer, Sarcopenia e Depressão, entretanto estudos são necessários para confirmar seu uso terapêutico.

Os distúrbios hepáticos são doenças ligadas ao fígado. Tendo em vista a gravidade destes distúrbios e as dificuldades em se estabelecer um tratamento para eles, decidiu-se propor um novo modelo de tratamento, utilizando a silimarina, uma planta que vem sendo utilizada desde os tempos antigos na cura de diversas doenças. Diante disso, o objetivo dessa pesquisa foi discutir o real impacto que a silimarina possui nos distúrbios hepáticos. Para isso, esse estudo teve como base uma revisão bibliográfica descritiva, ao qual foi fundamentada em trabalhos científicos já publicados entre os anos de 2018 a 2022 em língua portuguesa e que tratavam especificamente sobre a temática proposta. A coleta de dados se deu em base de banco de dados, tais como Google Acadêmico, Scielo, PubMed e Lilacs, do qual resultaram 21 trabalhos científicos analisados e divulgados no decorrer desse estudo. Nos resultados encontrados, ficou claro observar que a Silimarina contribui para melhorar o intestino e o sistema digestivo em geral; modulando o equilíbrio da microbiota (pelo estímulo a proliferação de lactobacillus e bifidobactérias, o que teria importante efeito papel imunomodulador). Ainda tem ação anti-hepatotóxica, isso significa, ter ativos de proteção ao fígado e por fim, ajuda no tratamento de doenças hepáticas.

The families with the highest number of species were Lamiaceae with 4 species (40%), Asteraceae and Malvaceae with 2 species each (20%). There were 82 therapeutic properties about the species mentioned, with a higher number of citations for "other indications" (25.6%), such as pain in general, back pain, malaise, dizziness, among others. The most used form of preparation was tea (81.4%) and the leaf was the most used organ (81.4%). Of the informants, 61.4% prefer to use home remedies instead of industrialized medicines.

Gestational Diabetes is a condition characterized by hyperglycemia that provides a drop-in insulin performance in its appropriate receptors by hormones secreted by the placenta and fetus. The main fetal comorbidities are macrosomia, growth disorder, and congenital and maternal anomalies in gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, vascular injury, and post-gestational diabetes. This study addressed the possible treatments with medicinal plants in gestational diabetes. Medicinal plants that have the diabetic purpose were researched, however, many pregnant women use and do not know the effects that can happen for the fetus and also for itself, the plants used for this work is not satisfactory for pregnant women with diabetes, but for non-diabetics, some are beneficial for treating this pathology. It becomes necessary for people to know the effects of plants that are used to treat certain types of diseases because most often in great excess can be fatal. All of them presented satisfactory results in a study for diabetes mellitus in non-pregnant patients, but the study presented by Cow's Paw (Bauhinia forficata l.) in pregnant rats with diabetes showed harmful results in embryo implantation and there was no glycemic control, which leads us to investigate further under the use of all plants in the treatment of gestational diabetes.
