Nine or so months ago, I started taking 5 grams of creatine daily not to bulk up, but to support my recovery, energy, and brain health.
Twenty years ago, I thought creatine was just for guys trying to gain muscle. I was wrong.
It turns out, this simple, affordable supplement is incredibly beneficial for anyone in midlife, especially women.
👉 It helps reduce soreness and speeds up recovery, making it easier to stay consistent with workouts.
👉 It supports muscle maintenance, which is crucial as we naturally lose muscle mass with age.
👉 And exciting new 2025 research shows it may improve memory and focus by supporting brain energy (aka cellular energy).
Yes, some people worry about bloating but it’s temporary, manageable, and often avoided by staying well-hydrated. And honestly? That’s a small price to pay for the long-term benefits. I’ll take that trade any day, increase my water intake in order to think clearly, it’s a no-brainer! (pun intended ;).
Creatine isn’t magic but it comes close. For those of us struggling with the physical and cognitive changes of midlife, it’s a game-changer for resilience, strength, and sharp thinking.
If you’ve overlooked it like I once did, it might be time to reconsider.
(As always, check with your doctor before starting any new supplement.)
