Hey JJ Virgin, how important is taking creatine for women during menopause?
Creatine is the ultimate supplement for women going through menopause because the big thing that hits you during menopause is fatigue and brain fog, and this is the ultimate way to fix it. When you take creatine, it helps your body make and regenerate ATP. This is your body's energy currency, so you're going to feel like you can work out harder, you can recover better, you can think better. And there's one more awesome thing, it also helps with sleep. So our sleep gets disrupted with menopause, and if you've got that mild sleep deprivation, creatine can help you have more energy during the day despite a poor night's sleep. So better brain, better focus, better mood, better body, both muscles and bones— not because it directly helps them, but it helps you work out harder, which is going to help them— better sleep, and even better skin, all by taking creatine.
