Here, let\u2019s talk about specific benefits of creatine supplementation for women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a significant difference between creatine levels in men and women\u2014women on average have 70-80% lower creatine levels created by and stored in their bodies compared to men. Not only do women\u2019s bodies <em>create<\/em> significantly less creatine than men, but statistically women also <em>consume<\/em> much less dietary creatine than men [1].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creatine-does-more-than-boost-athletic-performance\"><span id=\"creatine-does-more-than-boost-athletic-performance\">Creatine does more than boost athletic performance<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mounting evidence shows that not only does creatine benefit the cells in muscles, it is also an energy source for reproductive tissues (including<a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC8839819\/\"> sperm<\/a>, endometrium, placenta, uterus), and may benefit babies in-utero, and those with neurological disorders like Parkinson\u2019s, <a href=\"https:\/\/pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC10594571\/\">Alzheimer\u2019s<\/a>, Huntington\u2019s, as well as depression and chronic fatigue [2][3][4]. A 2024 study found that women who consumed creatine- rich diets were less likely to report irregular menstrual periods or pelvic infections, or need hysterectomy, oophorectomy (surgical removal of one or more ovaries), or hormone replacement therapy [5].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creatine-and-pregnancy\"><span id=\"creatine-and-pregnancy\">Creatine and pregnancy<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, creatine produced by the body is strongly influenced by estrogen and progesterone. Creatine levels are highest during the menstruating years, and decrease with age and with pregnancy. The lowest levels of creatine are during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, likely due to depletion because the growing baby is requiring so much energy from the mother to grow rapidly in those first few months [1]. Researchers hope to look at how creatine is used by the uterus for energy to explore the possible links between creatine and embryo implantation, as well as uterine contraction strength during labor [6].\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-animal-trials-show-clear-benefits-of-creatine-supplementation-during-pregnancy\"><span id=\"animal-trials-show-clear-benefits-of-creatine-supplementation-during-pregnancy\">Animal trials show clear benefits of creatine supplementation during pregnancy<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are few trials studying the effects of creatine (<a href=\"https:\/\/verilymag.com\/2021\/03\/covid-19-clinical-trials-exclude-pregnant-breastfeeding-menstruating-women-2021\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">or, really, anything<\/a>) on pregnant women, there are many creatine trials with pregnant animals. Consistently, supplementing the pregnant animal mother with creatine has been shown to confer a \u201cprotective effect against fetal death and organ damage associated with intrapartum hypoxia\u201d [2]. Intrapartum hypoxia refers to situations when the baby\u2019s brain and other vital organs do not get enough oxygen and nutrients before, during, or after birth. This can cause stillbirth or developmental disabilities. While creatine does not <em>prevent<\/em> the conditions that may cause intrapartum hypoxia, these studies indicate it may reduce their effects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-creatine-supplementation-by-pregnant-women-may-help-babies-in-the-womb\"><span id=\"how-creatine-supplementation-by-pregnant-women-may-help-babies-in-the-womb\">How creatine supplementation by pregnant women may help babies in the womb<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Low creatine levels in pregnant women have also been linked with low growth in babies, likely caused by the immense energy demands from the placenta, uterus, and baby. One case study followed a pregnant woman at 20 weeks gestation with an <a href=\"https:\/\/rarediseases.org\/rare-diseases\/argininie-glycine-amidinotransferase-deficiency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AGAT deficiency<\/a> (inability of her body to create its own creatine) when her obstetrician was concerned about low fetal growth following a noticeable decrease in creatine levels in both her blood and urine. After supplementing the patient with 3g of creatine daily, she delivered a healthy baby at 35 weeks that scored 25<sup>th<\/sup> percentile for birthweight and achieved typical developmental milestones by one year old [7].\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-possible-uses-of-creatine-for-postpartum-women\"><span id=\"possible-uses-of-creatine-for-postpartum-women\">Possible uses of creatine for postpartum women<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only could creatine supplementation be beneficial to pregnant mothers, it may also have some benefit for postpartum women as well, specifically by reducing likelihood of postpartum depression and mitigating the effects of sleep deprivation. Before exploring these potential benefits, a word of caution is in order for breastfeeding moms. While breast milk naturally contains approximately 9% of baby\u2019s daily creatine requirement, levels in milk from mothers who themselves supplement with creatine have <em>not<\/em> been measured [8]. A breastfeeding mom who wants to start creatine supplementation should check with a healthcare professional first.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reduction-of-depression-symptoms-nbsp\"><span id=\"reduction-of-depression-symptoms\">Reduction of depression symptoms&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Women are twice as likely to suffer with depression than men\u2014rates increase starting around puberty (especially during the luteal phase of the cycle), postpartum, and during menopause [9]. Creatine has not yet been studied in relation to postpartum depression (PPD) specifically, but there is reason to believe it may help women suffering from (or help prevent) PPD.Some research indicates a connection between depression severity and creatine levels in the brain, suggesting an inefficiency in the way those individuals either store or expend creatine for the energy needed for proper brain function and mood balance [1]. In fact, women in general have been tested as having lower creatine levels in their frontal lobes, the part of the brain that controls mood, emotion, cognition, and memory compared to their male counterparts [1].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research shows that, combined with prescribed antidepressant medication, 8 weeks of supplemented creatine led to a <em>56% decrease<\/em> in the average score on the Children\u2019s Depression Rating Scale-Revised in female adolescents. There were very similar results in otherwise healthy adult females who took the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale who saw improvements after only two weeks of taking 5g of creatine per day [1]. Even in individuals whose bodies are resistant to antidepressant medication, creatine supplementation of 10g per day has been linked to a decrease in depressive symptoms [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mitigating-the-effects-of-sleep-deprivation-nbsp\"><span id=\"mitigating-the-effects-of-sleep-deprivation\">Mitigating the effects of sleep deprivation&nbsp;<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While some postpartum mothers will struggle with PPD, all experience sleep deprivation. Supplementing with creatine has been shown to raise levels of alertness, decrease sleepiness-related risks, increase cognition levels, and improve sleep quality\u2014these are especially important for new mothers!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The increased brain activity to manage the stress of having a newborn along with a decrease in restorative sleep for the brain requires greater energy stores for the brain to pull from to continue to function properly [1]. One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fz-juelich.de\/en\/news\/archive\/press-release\/2024\/creatine-improves-cognitive-performance-during-sleep-deprivation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">small study<\/a> kept test subjects awake for 24 hours before giving them one large single dose (in an amount not specified in the press release from the research study) of creatine. Results showed that after three hours, the brain started processing the energy from the creatine so efficiently that cognitive tests run on the subjects showed marked improvement over their pre-creatine scores. Peak cognitive performance was reached four hours post-administration, but improvements were observed for up to nine hours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-creatine-for-postmenopausal-women-nbsp\"><span id=\"creatine-for-postmenopausal-women\">Creatine for postmenopausal women&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Post-menopausal women may also benefit from taking creatine. A common concern for women as they age is osteoporosis, a disease where the bones become more fragile and prone to breakage due to the decrease in estrogen during menopause [1]. Another less-talked-about concern for older adults is sarcopenia\u2014the progressive loss of muscle mass and strength starting around age 40. Combined, a decrease in both muscle mass and bone strength dramatically increases the risk for falls which can lead to injury, disability, or death.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In sedentary adults, one can expect an approximately 8% decrease in muscle mass per year after the age of 40. While creatine supplementation <em>alone<\/em> does little to improve either bone density or muscle mass, creatine in conjunction with physical activity\u2014especially<a href=\"https:\/\/naturalwomanhood.org\/can-strength-training-help-treat-alzheimers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> resistance training<\/a>, since that puts the most pressure on both bones <em>and<\/em> muscles\u2014has shown positive effects for postmenopausal women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-research-studies-in-post-menopausal-women-show\"><span id=\"what-research-studies-in-post-menopausal-women-show\">What research studies in post-menopausal women show<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One study compared the effects of resistance training on bone density on two groups of post-menopausal women\u2014one group taking creatine and one not. The creatine group took 0.1g\/kg bodyweight per day for one year while performing whole-body resistance training and saw a reduction in the amount of bone density loss compared to the control group performing the same exercises [2].&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another study of women undergoing resistance training compared a non-supplementing group with a supplementing group to measure the effects on muscle mass. While both groups did resistance training, the group of post-menopausal women taking 5g creatine per day over 12 weeks saw a significant increase in muscle mass compared to the control group that was not supplemented [2].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-creatine-should-women-take-nbsp\"><span id=\"how-much-creatine-should-women-take\">How much creatine should women take?&nbsp;<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/exercise-and-fitness\/what-is-creatine-potential-benefits-and-risks-of-this-popular-supplement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Harvard Health<\/a>, creatine monohydrate is the form that\u2019s been studied and proven effective. They recommend 3-5 grams per day for the general public. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XLr2RKoD-oY&amp;t=6305s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Andrew Huberman<\/a>, the neuroscientist mentioned in part 1, <a href=\"https:\/\/ai.hubermanlab.com\/s\/jaEObK3t\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">notes<\/a> that for individuals under 180 pounds, 5 grams of creatine supplementation per day may be appropriate. Remember, as mentioned above, that women tend to have much lower levels than men. Neither Harvard Health nor Huberman\u2019s article distinguish between recommended amounts for men vs. women. Also keep in mind that effects of creatine supplementation on breastmilk concentration haven\u2019t been studied. Given the above, if you want to try supplementing with creatine, get in touch with your healthcare professional about dosage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-do-supplement-creatine-be-sure-to-drink-enough-water\"><span id=\"if-you-do-supplement-creatine-be-sure-to-drink-enough-water\">If you do supplement creatine, be sure to drink enough water<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Since creatine works in part by drawing water into the cells to hydrate them, it\u2019s particularly important to avoid dehydration while supplementing. The old tried-and-true advice of shooting for pale yellow or straw-colored urine holds here as well. If your urine is dark yellow or even amber-colored, it\u2019s time to up your water intake.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also be aware that creatine supplementation sometimes causes <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthline.com\/health\/diet-and-weight-loss\/does-creatine-make-you-fat#tips\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">water retention (water weight<\/a>) early on. This is due to the cells rapidly absorbing water and may look and feel like bloating in the belly and\/or puffiness in the arms or legs. These effects should be temporary (and if they are not, check in with your healthcare professional).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-bottom-line\"><span id=\"the-bottom-line\">The bottom line<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creatine may be a promising supplement for women throughout their reproductive years. With evidence supporting its use in treating depression, mitigating sleep deprivation\u2019s effects, as well as protecting preborn babies from hypoxia and postmenopausal women\u2019s bone mineral density,&nbsp; upping creatine intake (through diet or supplementation) may have something to offer everyone. This may be especially the case for pregnant, postpartum, and postmenopausal women. As with starting any new medication or supplement, check with your healthcare team to ensure creatine is right for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was updated January 2, 2025, to add two citations about how creatine may improve male fertility by impacting sperm metabolism, as well as how creatine may be a treatment for Alzheimer&#8217;s. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-references\"><span id=\"references\">References:<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n[1] Smith-Ryan, Abbie E, et al. \u201cCreatine Supplementation in Women\u2019s Health: A Lifespan Perspective.\u201d <em>Nutrients<\/em>, U.S. National Library of Medicine, 8 Mar. 2021, pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/articles\/PMC7998865\/.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n[2] Antonio, Jose, et al. \u201cCommon Questions and Misconceptions about Creatine Supplementation: What Does the Scientific Evidence Really Show? &#8211; Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition.\u201d <em>BioMed Central<\/em>, BioMed Central, 8 Feb. 2021, <a href=\"http:\/\/jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12970-021-00412-w\">jissn.biomedcentral.com\/articles\/10.1186\/s12970-021-00412-w<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n[3] Ostojic SM, Stea TH, Engeset D.
