Should Women Take Creatine?

A key change I made towards getting the body I now have was choosing to supplement with creatine. My results were phenomenal... Get over the fear with this simple Q&A about women & creatine!

By: BuffMother

I had avoided taking creatine for years, thinking that it would only make me big, bloated and bulky. Boy was I wrong!

A key change I made towards getting the body I now have was choosing to supplement with creatine. My results were phenomenal, both physically and mentally. I had never experienced such great results from my workouts.

I had more energy, more muscle stamina, more intense muscle contraction, a great "pump," better muscle recovery, increased strength gains and I was emotionally excited to do my workout.

Within 3 weeks, I was 100% sold on creatine supplementation and it will always be part of my training routine. Creatine is a proven, safe and very powerful sports supplement that should be used by anyone wanting a buff body!

Here Is A Simplified Q & A About Creatine


[ Q ] What Does It Do?


[ Q ] Why Is This Important To Women?

    My basic philosophy for getting buff is that "Muscle BURNS FAT!" If you ever want to be buff you need to strengthen the muscles on your body so that you are a fat burning machine! Creatine will help you get lean!

    It will make you feel stronger by increasing the blood flow to your muscles causing greater, more effective contractions during your weight lifting. Creatine will also help you recover from your lifting, and help your muscles have a continuous supply of the nutrients they need to become lean and dense!

[ Q ] How Much Should I Take?

    I recommend taking two 3-5g doses daily in a punch form. There is no need to "LOAD" this substance as once recommended. The easiest and most effective time of day to take it is after your workout, the next easiest time to take is first thing in the morning or prior to your workout. You will feel the effects within a week.

[ Q ] What About The Bloating?

    The biggest side effect women have to overcome when taking creatine is bloating. The bloating is an overall body bloat. It's not like your typical "monthly bloat." You will carry the water weight in your muscles, so the more muscle you have the more you will notice the water weight.

    When I am on creatine I carry about 3-5 pounds of extra water weight. The good news is that once you stop taking it, you lose the water weight within a couple weeks.


[ Q ] How Long Should I Take It?

    If you want the best results you must follow a good weight training program and diet along with taking creatine. I would recommend taking it for a period of 2-6 weeks and then going off for another 2-6 weeks to check your progress. Then start taking it again for periods of 2-12 weeks at a time, all depending on your goals.

    It works if you work it.
