Benefits of Creatine for Women

Why Should Women Take Creatine?

When I first started talking about Creatine, my wife thought I was talking about a steroid. She couldn’t have been more wrong!

Many people have misguided ideas of Creatine and what it does, so here is an overall synopsis of what it can do for your body.

Creatine is a natural substance created in our kidneys and derived from the foods that we eat. It is also found in some meats. It has been studied more than any other supplement. It is safe and effective with powerful benefits for both athletic performance and general health.

It has been shown to improve exercise performance, muscle growth, brain function, and even fight certain neurological diseases!

Men, bodybuilders, and professional athletes aren’t the only ones that should take creatine. Everyone should be supplementing with this super supplement.

Especially, women!

Read below to

  • learn about the myths of creatine

  • its benefits

  • and what you should be taking

I Heard Creatine Isn’t Safe – What Gives?

Myth 1: creatine will make me gain weight and retain water

False: studies show that men tend to retain more water due to creatine supplementation than women. If you are one of the few women that does retain some water weight from creatine, wait a week or two as this “extra” water weight should go away.

Myth 2: creatine is a steroid

False: creatine is an amino acid (think, building blocks of proteins); not a hormone. 

Myth 3: creatine is only for bodybuilders and those looking to put on massive muscle

False: creatine is a safe and effective supplement for improved athletic performance and general health. It also has aerobic benefits and helps muscles fight fatigue!

Myth 4: creatine will hurt my kidneys

False: our body naturally creates creatine and we get it from some of the foods we eat (i.e. red meat having the highest levels). But supplementing with creatine is necessary to get the recommended daily amount needed for all the amazing benefits of this super supplement.

Especially for vegans and vegetarians that get very limited amounts from their diets!

What are the Benefits of Creatine for Women?

Benefits Include (these benefits are for men and women alike):

  1. Increases Strength and Power
  2. Improves Aerobic endurance and fights muscle fatigue
  3. Improves Muscle Growth
  4. Improves Recovery between sets and workouts
  5. Improves Brain function and Health
  6. May fight some Neurological Diseases
  7. May lower Blood Sugar and Fight Diabetes

What is the Best Creatine for Women?

There are many forms of creatine available, but only one form is the safest and most studied – creatine monohydrate. You can’t go wrong with this form and the recommended dosage of 3-5 grams per day.

Creatine builds up in your body over 28 days, so taking it every day is important to get the full effect of its benefits. But don’t fret if you miss a day since it doesn’t deplete from the muscle in one day either. Just do your best to take it as often as possible!
