Brigid Titgemeier explains why creatine supplements, traditionally marketed to men, could benefit women. Women have 70-80% lower natural creatine stores than men and eat less dietary creatine, suggesting they might gain more from supplementation despite limited direct research.
Historically, creatine, as I said, we've used it in the bodybuilding space, and it's been highlighted for men specifically. A lot of the evidence was originally done on men, and I have reviewed so much of the latest research and cases that some of these researchers are making. Some of the research is not necessarily in existence in human studies, but there's a lot of theories that these researchers have on the proposed benefits for women, given what we know mechanistically and in some of the ways that women can benefit. So a few key distinctions between men and women that I find find very interesting are 1 women appear to have 70 to 80% lower endogenous creatine stores compared to men, and women ages 19 to 39 consume less creatine in their diet on average.
