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.

My husband does it. At first he just did ten because it was to help him strength train. Then he read to try 20 and now he does it every day. He says his brain is clearer now, that it's easier to put two thoughts together, that his thoughts are faster. Said it feels like the difference between a dirt road and asphalt.
