When I posted an Ask Me Anything on Instagram last week “Tell us your thoughts on creatine!” was the number one question you all had.
For so long I was doubtful of it too, thinking it was only for bodybuilders in the gym and just another thing I needed to add to my already kind of insane supplement stack.
But the more I kept hearing about its use for women in their perimenopause years (and beyond) the more curious I got about benefits outside the gym, dosing, timing, which brands are best…
Personally, I’ve been taking creatine for a little over one month and do seem to notice a difference in my performance lifting weights and was able to hold it together better after a terrible night’s sleep the other day.
My plan is to commit for at least 3 months and then evaluate. I think with supplements we expect an overnight success and this is a reminder that with most it takes time and consistency to really see the benefits.
Below, we cover all your burning Qs. (If not, ask them in the comments!)
I hope this post helps you decide if adding creatine is the right move for you too.
