Should Women Take Creatine?

In this concise video, Eric Roberts addresses the common concern that creatine makes women look bloated. He explains that creatine draws water into muscle cells—not under the skin—so any weight gain appears as a more toned, defined physique. He clarifies why some users experience bloating: either by taking excessive loading doses (e.g., 20 g per day) or by using non‑micronized creatine, which can be harder to digest. Roberts recommends a simple protocol of 5 g of micronized creatine monohydrate taken daily, with no loading phase, and emphasizes consistent daily use. He briefly mentions a brand he partners with, providing a link in his bio, while noting that any reputable micronized creatine will work.
