Creatine for women - does that sound like bodybuilding, a bulking phase and shirtless men with shakers in their hands to you? Time to dispel these myths! Creatine is no longer just a supplement for muscle-bound bodybuilders, but a real game changer for women who take their fitness seriously. Creatine is also one of the best-studied active ingredients in the fitness and health sector.
With our KREATIN monohydrate capsules, we are launching a vegan formula on the market that shows: Fitness and performance are no longer just for men. Want to know what's really behind the creatine hype? Then read on.
Myth 1: Creatine is only for bodybuilders
Absolute myth: Creatine is an endogenous substance that is stored in your muscles and brain - regardless of whether you lift weights or not. Your body actually produces creatine itself every day. In addition to your yoga and HIIT routine, creatine supports physical performance during high-speed strength training as part of short-term intensive physical activity⁵². Creatine for vital women's bodies can help you get more out of your training - scientifically well-researched and safe to use.
Creatine is not an anabolic steroid. It promotes muscle strength⁵³ - but you will only build visibly more muscle if you train specifically for it. Creatine alone does not make you a bodybuilder. It supports physical performance⁵².
Myth 2: Women should not take creatine
The opposite is the case. Women benefit just as much from creatine supplementation as men. In addition, women on average have lower creatine stores than men, which makes supplementation interesting from a scientific point of view.
Studies also show³ that creatine supplementation could be particularly beneficial for perimenopausal and post-menopausal womenᵉ.
Myth 3: Creatine makes you fat
No: Creatine does not make you fat. You temporarily absorb a little more water in your muscles - not fat.² The water ends up in your muscle cells - this is called "intracellular hydration": it even improves muscle strength and regeneration. This "side effect" may result in a slightly higher weight reading on the scales - but this is cell hydration, not fat. Sounds strange at first, but it gives you more physical performance⁵².
Myth 4: Creatine is unnatural
Creatine occurs naturally in your body and in foods such as fish and meat. Our KREATIN capsules are pure and free from artificial additives. Only what your body really needs. We rely on Creavitalis® - the purest and highest quality form of creatine in the world, manufactured in Germany, laboratory-tested and highly bioavailable.
Myth 5: Creatine is bad for the kidneys
Wrong - in healthy people there is currently no evidence that creatine damages the kidneys. As always, the important thing is the quality of the product and drinking enough water.¹
Note: Creatine is generally safe, but people with kidney problems or other health restrictions should check with their doctor before taking it.
Conclusion: creatine is a real game changer for women
Whether you want to get off to a sporty start with our power source or improve your physical performance⁵² our KREATIN is optimally developed: vegan, clean, highly bioavailable.
