Creatine For Brain Health During Perimenopause and Menopause

We have seen some cracker content lately on creatine team, and this one is no exception. I use creatine myself, preferring multiple 5g doses throughout the day to improve my concentration and energy. Like I do for protein powder, I use simple brands that don't promise the world (they're less likely to have something nefarious in them). I have no affiliation with Musashi but I like their protein powder and creatine.
An article summary grabbed my eye on Instagram about a randomised controlled trial on peri and menopausal women who supplemented creatine.
“A groundbreaking clinical trial has just been published - one that could completely reshape how we think about women’s health, brain energy, and the menopause transition. For years, I’ve been saying that women’s midlife health deserves the same level of scientific rigor as sports performance or cardiovascular research. Now, we finally have it. This study is the first of its kind - conducted in peri- and postmenopausal women - showing measurable changes in brain energy, mood, and cognitive function after just 8 weeks of a simple, affordable, accessible intervention. This isn’t hype. It’s data. And it’s one of the most exciting breakthroughs I’ve seen for women in decades.”

When you take creatine, you can be relaxed about the when and how. It’s a low-risk supplement, in that the side effects (water retention and minor GI discomfort) are minor. I take mine in a glass of water or a protein smoothie. Of course, if you’re on blood pressure or other medications, best to chat to your GP about it. All others, have at it! Give it a go and let me know how you’re feeling 💪
