In this episode of Daily Value, we look at the emerging research on creatine supplementation in women’s health—beyond its well-established role in exercise performance. With evidence mounting on creatine’s impact across menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and menopause, we discuss how it supports cognition, mood stabilization, and bone health throughout a woman’s lifespan.

Discussion Points:

• Creatine & Hormonal Fluctuations: How estrogen and progesterone influence creatine uptake and metabolism.
• Cognitive & Mood Benefits: The role of creatine in reducing brain fog, fatigue, and potentially postpartum depression.
• Pregnancy & Fetal Development: How maternal creatine status may impact fetal neurodevelopment and birth outcomes.
• Menopause & Bone Health: The effect of creatine on osteoblast activity, muscle preservation, and sarcopenia prevention.
• Dosing Guidelines for Women
