SHOULD WOMEN TAKE CREATINE? Explained in 60 seconds! 👀 🤫

Creatine seems to be the supplement everyone’s talking about lately — and I’ll be honest, it’s for good reason. I’ve officially been taking creatine for over a month, and definitely plan on continuing!

🤓Creatine is one of the most researched supplements on the market, with over 20 years of research backing it up. This, coupled with the fact that every dietitian I’ve talked to lately has recommended it, was my motivation to start taking it consistently.

🤔SO WHAT DOES IT DO? Creatine is shown to increase strength and endurance, boost energy levels during workouts, and reduce muscle recovery time. There’s also some promising research indicating it can reduce brain fog and improve cognitive function (these were the benefits I was most interested in!). After 30 days, I’ve personally found that adding creatine into my routine has helped improve my recovery time, brain fog, athletic performance and overall energy levels.

✅HOW TO TAKE IT: You want to look for Creatine Monohydrate from a brand you trust (@nowfoodsofficial for me). The recommended dose is between 3-5 grams a day – I personally take 5 grams (about a teaspoon and a half) mixed with plain water or a @drinklmnt electrolyte pack every day. The most important thing here is consistency — it takes a few weeks to build up in your body.

😅ABOUT THE BLOATING: Personally I noticed some “water weight” or bloating between weeks 2 and 4 of taking creatine. Things seemed to level back to normal around week 5 for me. The dietitians I talked to also recommended taking five grams daily rather than following a “loading phase” protocol to minimize bloating and I think that worked well.
