What is creatine and why is it suddenly everywhere?
Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in muscle cells that helps produce energy during high-intensity exercise (i). While our bodies produce it and we get some from foods like meat and fish, research shows supplementing with creatine offers serious perks – especially for women who want to boost strength, endurance, and overall wellbeing (ii).
The science-backed benefits of creatine for women
Stronger Muscles Without Bulk
Creatine helps improve strength and power, making your Pilates workouts (or any fitness routine) more effective—without making you look bulky.
Better Recovery & Less Fatigue
Whether you’re flowing through a reformer class or hitting the gym, creatine helps reduce muscle soreness and speeds up recovery so you can move pain-free.
Brain Boosting Benefits
Studies suggest creatine supports cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity—perfect for busy women juggling work, workouts, and life.
Hormonal Balance & Bone Health
Creatine has been linked to improved bone density and may help mitigate age-related muscle loss, making it a smart choice for long-term health.
