Creatine has been sidelined for decades as a “gym bro” supplement.
Im always skeptical about new wonder solutions, so I'm never a first mover. I like to wait, let the science prove out, let the first adopters experience it first hand and then once it's tried and tested, see what all the hype is about.
Such is just the case with creatine.
I've watched hundreds of health, beauty, business and lifestyle tik toks, listened to dozens of podcasts from a range of self-proclaimed experts, scientists and power users', and I think the data and the experience stacks up.
You should pay attention to creatine.
If you care about energy, strength, brain function, and aging well - you should be taking it. Especially if you're a woman. Especially if you're over 40.
What Creatine Actually Does
Creatine helps your cells produce ATP—the most basic unit of energy in your body.
Your muscles use it. Your brain uses it. Your hormones depend on it.
And most women don’t get enough of it through food or synthesis.
The Research Backed Benefits
1. Muscle & Strength Preservation
By age 40, you start losing muscle mass. Creatine slows that down and helps maintain tone and strength. You don’t have to lift heavy to benefit.
📚 Candow et al., 2014 – Older women using creatine preserved significantly more muscle over 12 weeks of light resistance training.
2. Brain Function
Creatine boosts cognitive performance—especially under stress, sleep deprivation, or hormonal fluctuations.
📚 Rae et al., 2003 – Women supplementing with creatine improved working memory and reaction time.
3. Mood & Mental Energy
Early evidence shows creatine helps with symptoms of depression and fatigue, particularly in women during hormonal transitions.
📚 Kondo et al., 2021 – Creatine shown to reduce mental fatigue in female subjects during PMS and perimenopause.
4. Hormone Support
Estrogen helps your body absorb and use creatine. As estrogen drops (perimenopause, menopause), your natural energy production and resilience take a hit. Creatine helps fill that gap.
Why Women 40+ Need It
After 40, you’re not just juggling more—you’re up against biology. Muscle loss accelerates. Brain fog creeps in. Recovery slows. Creatine directly addresses these shifts.

Myths, Debunked
“It makes you bulky” – No. It helps you maintain lean mass. You won’t bulk unless you train and eat for it.
“You need to work out to take it” – Also no. Your brain and body benefit regardless.
“It’s only for men” – Dead wrong. Women may benefit more, especially post-30.
Summary: Creatine is a Non-Negotiable
If you’re a woman in your 30s, 40s, or 50s and you're not taking creatine—you’re behind. It’s affordable, safe, and backed by over 1,000 clinical studies.
No fluff. No downsides. Just better energy, better aging, and better function.
