Can women benefit from creatine?Updated 9 days ago

Yes. It’s a common misconception that creatine is just for men! Creatine is a very well-researched compound for supporting lean body mass and muscle strength during resistance training. Yet research shows that women exhibit approximately 70–80% lower endogenous creatine stores compared to men — meaning their baseline levels are generally lower.¹ That’s why supplementation for women can be supportive.
