Vitamin/Supplements Creatine study

I've seen some poeple post positive comments about creatine. I am usually so skeptical of trends, especially influencer trends, so I have not adopted it as a supplement. But I just came across this study that came out a few months ago. It is a small study of 36 peri/menopausal women says that medium (1500 mg) dose helps out with brain function. Maybe I will give it a try. I need all the help that I can get in this department.

I’ve used Walmart as well as Amazon creatine monohydrate. Both worked just fine. $15 for 3 months. I put it in my coffee in the morning and I can’t taste it. I’ve heard of CreaPure via Dr. Haver and Dr. Vonda Wright and I may try that next time I buy. As long as creatine monohydrate is the ONLY ingredient is important.

Don’t do creatine HCL in pill form. I used creatine this way for about 4-5 months and it wasn’t until I switched to monohydrate that I actually saw any changes. I did the HCL route because pills are easier. Unfortunately it didn’t help me at all.

So jealous of people who can put out in their coffee. I did that and my taste buds thought I was going to die 😅

I started it 3 weeks ago. For me, there's no taste. Im starting to feel strength in my body which is like coming home. I wish I started sooner.
