The Rise of Creatine: From Gym Gains to Brain Power

Creatine, a supplement traditionally used by athletes for short, intense activities, is gaining popularity among women for its benefits in muscle preservation, recovery, and potential brain health improvements, especially during aging. The most studied and effective form is creatine monohydrate, which is generally safe for healthy adults when used appropriately. However, individuals with kidney issues or under 18 should exercise caution, and it's important to choose reputable brands due to lack of regulation.
