What is all this hype around this supplement called creatine? Why do I need it?
These are great questions.
Once considered a “gym bro” supplement, creatine is backed by science as a powerful ally for women’s health - especially as we age. RENEW creatine powder can help improve strength, increase muscle mass, enhance cognitive function, and support bone health.
I'm a big believer in evidence/science so I want to educate you on why creatine may be a supplement worth taking. If you eat plenty of red meat, tuna and dairy, you might be able to make enough creatine to support your body's needs. If not, you might like to consider RENEW as part of a balanced diet.
What is creatine?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound that comes from three amino acids. Your body naturally creates creatine when you consume products with these amino acids such as red meat, tuna and dairy. However, most people don’t get enough creatine from diet alone. And that is where a supplement can help.
Why do I need it?
Think of creatine as the fuel for your brain and body. Its job is to immediately supply energy to tissues with increased energy demands, such as muscle and the brain.
Creatine has been studied for decades and is becoming increasingly popular for the female population. There are plenty of journal articles on creatine and I've linked a few below. But if you are short on time and want the highlights, here is what you need to know...
Creatine may enhance muscle strength and reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women, especially when combined with resistance training.
Creatine may improve mood and cognitive function, potentially alleviating symptoms of depression.
Creatine supplementation may have a selective positive effect on individuals subjected to various kinds of stress and aging.
How much is enough?
A recommended serve of a creatine supplement is 5g per day.
Wellspring RENEW is a 350g jar which equates to 70 serves. It is pure with no fillers or added nasties.
Think of your body like an engine. You want to give it fuel that it needs.
Your muscles, your brain and future self will thank you.
Stay strong Wellspringers,
Love Holly
