What Is Creatine and What Does It Do?
Creatine is naturally produced in the body as an amino acid and is present in some of the foods we eat. It is a naturally occurring compound in muscle cells that helps produce energy during intense activities. Creatine increases phosphocreatine stores, facilitating the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) - your bodies primary energy source.
Research shows that women typically have 70 - 80% lower creatine stores than men and consume less dietary creatine and so supplementing with creatine provides a range of benefits for healthy women.
Energy Production: Because creatine helps your body produce more ATP, it supports the bodies natural ability to replenish energy levels quickly, keeping you energised throughout the day. Whether you’re powering through a workout, managing a busy schedule or simply looking to feel less fatigued, creatine provides the energy boost you need for everyday life.
Muscle Strength and Recovery: Creatine has been proven to improve muscle strength by increasing the availability of energy for muscle contractions. It accelerates recovery by reducing muscle cell damage and inflammation. This makes it particularly valuable during hormonal phases such as perimenopause and menopause.
Cognitive Function and Mood Regulation: ATP is also the primary energy source of the brain and creatine plays a vital role in maintaining the brain energy balance by replenishing ATP in brain cells. This energy support is particularly beneficial during periods of mental stress or fatigue when the brains energy demands are increased. Creatine supplementation can enhance cognitive functions such as memory, mental clarity and focus by improving the efficiency of energy use in the brain cells. Additionally creatine may support neurotransmitter function by helping stabilise mood and increase resilience to stress.
Increase In Bone Mass: Creatine supplementation has been shown to fight oxidative stress, while increasing bone formation.
Will Creatine Bulk Me Up Or Cause Me to Gain Weight?
Will Creatine Bulk Me Up Or Cause Me to Gain Weight?
No—creatine helps maintain lean muscle, not build bulk. Creatine may cause a tiny increase (0.5–1 kg) from water held in the muscles but this is temporary and usually goes away quickly. This isn’t fat—it’s a sign your muscles are stronger and storing energy. Consider your water intake and make sure you are staying hydrated to keep everything balanced.
