Creatine & Menopause: Benefits, Safety and How to Use It

Why creatine matters in midlife

Perimenopause and menopause can bring fatigue, reduced strength, changes in body composition, and the infamous brain fog. Creatine monohydrate supports the body’s phosphocreatine system — the rapid energy reserve your muscles (and brain) use for short, intense efforts. For women in midlife, that can translate into better training quality, easier daily strength tasks, and clearer thinking.

Potential benefits for midlife women

• Strength & lean mass: Consistent 3–5 g/day may support increases in strength and maintenance of lean mass when combined with resistance training.

• Cognition & brain fog: Creatine is involved in cellular energy in the brain; many women report better mental clarity and reduced “fog.”

• Bone support (indirect): By helping you lift and move more, creatine can indirectly support bone-loading exercises (beneficial for bone density).

• Energy across the day: More effective sessions and improved recovery can mean steadier energy.

Is creatine safe for women? For healthy adults, creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched supplements. Typical doses (3–5 g/day) are well-tolerated.

If you use HRT, SSRIs, or thyroid medication, there’s no common direct contraindication reported for healthy adults at standard doses, but always speak to your GP before starting any supplement — especially if you have kidney issues, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or take prescription medicines.

Dosage & how to take it

• Daily amount: 3–5 g/day creatine monohydrate.

• Loading (optional): 20 g/day split into 4 doses for 5–7 days, then 3–5 g/day. Loading saturates faster but isn’t mandatory.

• Timing: Take it any time you remember daily. If you train, many prefer post-workout with a meal or protein shake.

• Rest days: Keep taking your daily 3–5 g.

• Mixing: Our PausePower Creatine Monohydrate (200-mesh, micronised, unflavoured, vegan, third-party tested) disperses easily in water, juice, yoghurt or a protein shake.

Common concerns

• Bloating/water retention: Creatine draws water into the muscle, not under the skin. Start at 3 g/day, take with food, and ensure hydration.

• Headaches: Usually hydration-related. Drink extra water and consider taking creatine with a meal.

• Sleep: No consistent evidence that creatine disrupts sleep at standard doses; avoid very late caffeinated shakes.

• Weight: Any change is typically muscle water inside the muscle (a good thing for performance).

PausePower difference: 200-mesh, ultra-fine micronised powder = better mixability; unflavoured = stack with anything; third-party tested and vegan for full peace of mind.
