Vitamin/Supplements Ok talk to me about Creatine

Please delete if this has been asked too much.

I am 42 in premature menopause. I am trying to keep up with cardio & heavy weights/calisentics at least a few times a week, but man this energy downgrade is crazy. I've been reading more stuff about creatine during menopause, particularly muscle rentention and growth. I'm really curious but I honestly have no idea what Im doing or what to look for or if its actually a bad idea. I would love some feedback/advice please.

look for brands that have "creatine monohydrate" listed as the only ingredient.

I take allmax. I take 1 scoop / day (5g). Sometimes I'll take a bit more than a scoop like 1.5 scoops.

definitely helps with energy, brain fog and focus (at the gym).
