For this special Bitesize Biohack, Angela explores the benefits of creatine for women's health. While traditionally associated with men and bodybuilders, creatine has numerous advantages for women, particularly during the menstrual cycle, perimenopause, and postmenopause. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Creatine is a molecule that is important for producing ATP, the energy currency of the body. It is primarily made in the liver and is important for skeletal muscle health, bone density, gut health, and brain health.
Women have less storage capacity for creatine compared to men, so supplementation can be beneficial for women. Taking 3-5 grams of creatine daily can help build up creatine stores over a period of four weeks.
Creatine loading phases, where higher doses of creatine are taken for a short period of time, can be done to quickly increase creatine stores. The best time to do a loading phase for women is during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle, when estrogen levels are higher.

BEST MOMENTS

"Creatine is very important for us to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the body."

"Creatine helps to support bone density and muscle protein synthesis, making it beneficial for women struggling with metabolic issues and excess body fat."

"Creatine can be really supportive in times of stress, as it helps to provide higher levels of ATP for the brain, improving memory, cognition, and attention."
