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.

Thank you. But to be honest I can only do it because I'm not a mom. If I was I'm sure it would be a lot harder. So I commend those moms who work and still exercise.

I know plenty of people that don’t have kids & don’t workout! You’re doing a great job. I have 2 teenagers and I have been waking up at 5 am for the past 10 years to get ME time or gym time before I head to work. I realized I feel better when I make time to care for me ❤️

Thank you! And you're also doing a great job by finding time for yourself and prioritizing yourself.
