Creatine is one of the most researched supplements on the market and a lot of the registered dietitians I trust and respect have had great things to say about it…so I’ve been on the fence about trying it for a while.
💪Although it may be best known for boosting athletic performance, I personally was most interested in the research indicating benefits of creatine on muscle recovery + cognitive function.
I’ll be totally honest here — I think my biggest hesitation in taking it was one many women can relate to. I had heard that it can cause bloating in women – which wasn’t something I wanted to deal with while filming a new program.
SO! After we wrapped our summer workout program last month (🤫), I decided to try it for 30 days and see how I felt.
Here’s what I personally noticed after a month:
✅Improved recovery time after workouts
✅Feeling stronger/like I had more energy during my workouts
✅Reduced brain fog
✅Feeling more rested after sleep/like I got better quality sleep
ABOUT THE BLOATING: Personally I noticed minimal additional “water weight” or bloating for the first 2 weeks on creatine; then things seemed to level out back to normal. The dietitians I talked to also recommended just talking 5 grams daily rather than following a “loading phase” protocol to minimize bloating and I think that worked well!
👇I WANT TO KNOW: what other questions do you have about creatine?

Where are these results??
Did you take it pre or post workout? TIA
I drank it ones before my workout and I almost passed out 😢
How much of an impact was the reduced brain fog? I have fog all the time. Good on you aswell, awesome stuff.
Does creatine cause acne? I’ve been taking it
For
About a week and notice an increase in breakouts.
Me. Not.. Fit…
Do you take creatine everyday even if you don’t workout everyday? 😊
Can you take more than a month?
I’ve been hitting the gym 3-4x a week just bought creatine yesterday hoping to seek results
Just purchased it today ! I’m 41 and have been noticing the past 2 years, a pretty big dip in my energy levels during aerobic exercises, HIIT especially. While im always trying to improve my sleep, ( i think we all are) while quality sleep is a priority for me and has been for a while, it’s been really choppy lately and im trying to be lights out between 830-9. So, im interested to aee creatine helps my sleep, mental clarity as it suggests, and especially energy levels during cardio/ more intense exercise because im tired if thinking " otsmy age". Of course, im not 21 anymore, and you cant compare early 20s energy vs early 40s energy 😂. Still, im in better shape physically nowthan at 30. Also interested to see how it benefits muscle energy and growth during strength training 🎉
Music is super annoying
46 and just started on my creatine journey! Looking forward to results ❤
Is it safe for pregnant women?
Any info with taking this while breastfeeding?
Did you notice any weight gain?
Also any other vitamins or supplements you would recommend? 34 busy working mom of 2 boys. 4 months postpartum.
I started finally taking it about 3 months ago, & wish I’d started sooner. Definitely can tell an improvement in strength, like for example, I went from 3 pull ups to 6. Which know is still not a lot to some people but I’m a middle aged woman.
Is it true this increases testosterone in women?
I was researching this a little too, do you think it’s safe for kids to take?
Yes they can, look at 51 year old Jen Thompson (132 lbs of power) She weighs about 64kg and benches raw, natural, 315+lbs
Im 63kg
Im taking 1scoop a day before or after work out
Am i doint it right?
Thanks for sharing! Follow up : Plan moving forward? (Off and on?) any bloating or negative side effects?
Hello.Is one teaspoon of creatine enough per day?
That tumbler tho 😍
I take amino acids…is it necessary to do Creatine as well?
Where’s the update?
Is there a brand that is best?
I bought a chewable form and will be starting today! I’m excited to see what my future workouts have in store!! 🎉
Do you take it before or after a workout
Esto me ayudará a que no me sienta fatal después de hacer ejercicio, muchas gracias!!!!
How much ?
Hi which creatine is the best one for women ove 50? Which one are you using her
I’m 54, and I took my 1st dose today.
Definitely going to look into restarting it. I stopped because i got scared my body would retain more fluid and i would look bigger as a big person. Edit: i do also weight train 4x a week at least and lift pretty heavy. Im not sure if my fear is reasonable though, especially as a woman.. i assume itd be insanely hard to look like a man and im probably overestimating the effect of creatine.
Can you add this to hot liquids as well? Like coffee? And how much extra water do you need to be consuming?
With out workouts
How can it use
I Love your hair. I’m taking creatine NOW, thanks for the info. I’m subscribing.
I just started taking creatine couple days ago. I found a big tub at Costco.
I’m hoping it helps with stiff muscles.
Girl, put it in a protein shake. They are synergistic. Putting it in water is wasting most of its potential.
I love creatine for strength purposes but it gives me insomnia! I cannot fall asleep when I’m taking it, and I sleep so lightly. I have cycled on and off it to test my theory and every time I take it, the insomnia hits again. Anyone else?
Dry scoop it
Hi! thank you for the video. I was wondering did you experience hair loss?
What else can this be mixed with? I’m only a beginner, so I’m trying to figure it all out 😊
I’ve heard great things about it, but I’ve also heard that it causes hair loss. I don’t know how much truth there is to that, but I hesitate to take it for that reason.
I’ve just started taking Creatine Monohydrate
Dad told me he got excruciating kidney stones years ago.. Has anyone else had a bad experience?
Creatine upsets my stomach and causes bloating and weight gain for me. Did you experience this, and if so, how do you handle this?
Helped with neck issues, it used to stiffen like you could not believe!😊
I love creatine and take the same brand. It has helped with brain fog, sleep, and workout recovery for me.
I like that brand of creatine because it doesn’t clump, so it is easy to measure.
Would love to hear more information on this!
What is the difference between this one and the one that is micronized?
You dont drink creatine in plain water. You need to take it with juice or any fast acting carbohydrate source for it to fully work if muscle building is what you are looking for. You need that insuline spike for it to flood your cells. I personally take it with a teaspoon of raw honey, which in itself has mild anabolic effects.
