Creatine supplementation has regularly been shown to increase strength and muscle structure when paired with resistance training more than resistance training alone. It also improves muscle recovery, lean muscle mass and a healthy body composition. Not just for fitness buffs, creatine plays an important role for everyone because it helps the body make adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule that carries energy within cells. ATP is needed for exercise as well as for powering the brain. The brain is a complex organ with high energy demands. Neurons require a constant supply of ATP to perform many functions. Creatine supplementation provides support for cognition and mood, and has shown improved cognitive performance and brain function, reducing mental fatigue during stressful mental tasks in healthy adults. When ATP is used by the body for contracting muscles or for everyday brain function, creatine supplementation helps to replenish those energy stores by acting as an energy substrate. Interest in creatine is growing specifically for its benefits for women at all life stages. Beyond supporting muscle strength and exercise performance, early research indicates creatine supplementation may help improve skeletal muscle maintenance and function, mood and cognition and, when combined with resistance training, bone health. This is of particular interest to post-menopausal women as creatine may help in the maintenance of muscle, bone and overall strength to support healthy aging.
