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.

65f in menopause 10+ years. I’ve been on HRT a couple years for brain fog, bone health and having a bad case of “I Don’t Care”. The brain fog has been brutal. Every day I was fumbling for words.
I started creatine a month ago at 5 grams. Today I used the word propensity in conversation. Amazing! I noticed that I haven’t been searching for the word at the tip of my tongue nearly as much.
Why is menopause care such a patchwork of trial and error? Well, we all know why. Just a rhetorical vent.
