And one of the biggest complaints as women start to get into perimenopause is that they have poor energy.
This can help, and it can help not just with body, but can help with mental, like with focus, with mood.
In fact, there was a study done on postmenopausal women on SSRIs, and those who did creatine actually had way better changes in their mood than those who didn't.
They're now doing studies on it for...
neurodegenerative diseases and for cognition.
So it helps you work out harder because of the energy.
It also helps you with recovery, but it doesn't build... You don't take creatine, sit on the couch and something happens.
Now, here's what happened.
As I started to dig into this a couple of years ago, I...
looked at, I'm like, everybody needs to be on this, right?
And especially women, we have less tissue stores of this than men do.
So I was like, we need this and we need it in our brains.
And so I was like, you know, pushing it.
I was a creatine pusher and everything I'd ever heard was monohydrate.
It's the most studied.
So do that one, which is true.
It's the most studied, but it's kind of like, you know, a rotary phone.
Just because we've always used it doesn't mean that's the best one, right?
I mean, would you switch over, you know, would you still be using a rotary phone at this point?
No, you would not.
