WHO COULD USE CREATINE? PROBABLY YOU!
When you hear the word creatine, you might picture athletes who want bigger muscles, improved strength and more energy. While creatine does all of those things for athletes, it also improves brain health and overall vitality in many adults. In fact, creatine offers more benefits than most would think. Also, you’ll find information about staying safe in the sun this summer, and the importance of hydration, particularly if you use creatine.
While creatine is a known and safe performance enhancing supplement, our bodies make this compound naturally.
Here’s why you might want to consider adding creatine to your wellness toolkit—regardless of your fitness level:
1. For anyone who is getting older (aren’t we all!)
As we age, we naturally lose muscle mass (hello, sarcopenia). Creatine helps preserve lean tissue and may support insulin sensitivity, which are benefits that ripple out to better metabolic and hormonal balance. Creatine also supports mitochondrial function, reduces inflammation, and may protect against neurodegenerative diseases. That’s a win for long-term vitality. This robust supplement helps maintain strength, mobility, and even supports bone density — all critical elements for healthy aging and agility.
2. For busy professionals who want to stay sharp
Creatine isn’t just for muscles — it fuels the brain, too. Studies show it can enhance cognitive performance, memory, and mental clarity, especially during stress or sleep deprivation.
3. For women
Despite outdated myths, creatine is fantastic for women. It supports lean muscle to easily burn fat, increases energy, and even helps balance mood, hormones and fatigue during intense training or perimenopause
4. For vegetarians & vegans
Since creatine is mostly found in animal products, plant-based eaters may naturally have lower levels. Supplementing can support energy production, brain health, lean muscle growth, and improve exercise performance.
5. For strength & endurance (Yes, Even for Walkers & Yogis)
Whether you're lifting weights or chasing your grandkids, creatine can improve muscle recovery, energy output, and endurance—so you can do more with less fatigue

6. For a simple & safe way to boost your health
Creatine monohydrate is well-tolerated, affordable, and easy to add to your routine for most people. As always, please check with your doctor for contraindications with medications or any medical conditions.
Call to Action
Add 3–5 grams daily, stirred into water, tea, or a smoothie, is enough to start seeing benefits. Try 10 grams daily if you or someone you know has a traumatic brain injury or early stage dementia. Look for creatine monohydrate — it’s the gold standard, and there’s no need to "load" or cycle. Timing is only critical if it means you remember to take it, so find a time that works for you.
Takeaway:
Creatine isn’t just for bulking up—it’s a cellular energy enhancer benefiting the brain, body, and even providing longevity. If you’re looking for a simple, science-backed upgrade to your wellness routine, creatine might be your secret weapon. Creatine can be dehydrating, so be especially cautious if you have kidney issues. To offset add electrolytes, and drink 1oz of water per pound of body weight, particularly if you are active or sweating a lot, especially if you’re in the sun. Replenish, replenish, replenish!
• Check out the Renpho scale and use it to have a baseline of your weight, which includes important metrics such as body fat, skeletal muscle, fat free mass, subcutaneous fat, visceral fat (the kind that could damage organs), muscle mass, body water, bone mass and more! This inexpensive device will help you better understand if your fitness efforts are working. The goal is to lower body fat while maintaining or gaining muscle mass. If you loose weight, and loose more than two pounds of muscle mass, then you definitely need creatine to help you hold on to that hard earned muscle!
• Order your Creatine today, but choose a quality product like Thorne Creatine Monohydrate, or others who have only Creatine Monohydrate as the ingredient. There shouldn’t be any other ingredients, and certainly not proprietary blends where you have no idea how much of the ingredients listed are included.
• Make it a mission to move everyday and add resistance to that movement to achieve muscle building benefits! Body weight and resistance band exercises are great, on the go tools to make sure you never miss a work-out! Better yet, get a partner to join you at the gym or in nature for a walking + bodyweight work-out!
