Why creatine is worth a look for women 40+
Women typically have lower natural creatine stores than men. During perimenopause and menopause, falling oestrogen is also linked to changes in muscle mass and strength, which is why strength training matters more than ever. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise, which makes it a useful partner to that training.
Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3g.

FAQ
Is creatine safe for women?
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched supplements in existence. It is non-hormonal, non-stimulant and widely considered safe for healthy adults. If you have a kidney condition or take regular medication, check with your GP before use.
Will it make me bulky?
No. Creatine is not about bulk. For most women, it's about staying strong and capable in everyday life.
Will it help with menopause weight gain?
Creatine isn't a weight-loss product, and it doesn't cause fat gain. Some women notice slight water retention in the muscles at first, which settles. It works best alongside regular strength training.

I had been told that one of the key supplements that moved the needle for menopausal older ladies was creatine. I had been seeing Marlene, who I know, advertise her specialist product, so I thought I would give it a go. My aches and pains have gone and I feel stronger . My wake up every morning is creatine in warm water. It has been a game changer. Would definitely recommend.

PausePower Creatine is honestly amazing. Throughout the menopause I’ve felt sluggish, tired and not as strong as I used to. Since taking it, I’ve felt stronger, faster and more like myself again. It arrived quickly, nicely packaged and ready to slot straight into my routine. Such a simple addition, but such a difference! I hearty recommend!

I’ve really enjoyed using this creatine. It’s completely tasteless and mixes so easily into my drinks, which makes it effortless to take every day.
Since starting it, I’ve noticed my energy feels more steady and I’m actually drinking fewer coffees — not because I’m trying to cut down, but because I simply don’t feel like I need them as much anymore.
It’s been an easy addition to my routine and I’d definitely recommend it to other women looking for steady support with energy and wellbeing.

I’ve tried a lot of creatine supplements over the years, but PausePower’s Pure Creatine Monohydrate genuinely stands out. The powder is incredibly fine and mixes effortlessly into water or my morning shake, no clumps, no gritty texture, and absolutely no taste, which makes it easy to take daily.
What I really appreciate is the purity and simplicity of the product. No fillers, no unnecessary additives, just high-quality creatine that does exactly what it promises. Since using it consistently, I’ve noticed a real improvement in my strength, recovery, and overall performance in the gym. It’s especially helped me maintain muscle and energy during more demanding training phases.
As someone who values both science-backed supplements and clean ingredients, this ticks every box. It’s now a staple in my routine, and I wouldn’t be without it.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to support strength, performance, and overall vitality.

I have been using Pause power creatine for a few months now and the energy I feel whilst working is amazing- I also feel stronger! It’s easy to take and fact I add my scoop to my morning coffee.

Really happy with this creatine so far. It dissolves easily, has no taste, and generally super easy to use. I’ve noticed a difference in my workouts and how my muscles feel/look. Definitely feeling less tired after training so I think it has helped with my recovery too!
Also just wanted to note I really appreciate that the ingredients are simple and straightforward with no unnecessary extras. I had heard about creatine from so many people but had no idea which brand to go for (so many options!), listening to the founder of femvital I decided to commit and try PausePower and I’m so happy I did!! Overall it feels like a really good quality product and I’d definitely repurchase.

So I have all the symptoms of menopause and de ides to give creatine a go based on the advice of Marleen. After about 4 weeks my brainfog slowly disappeared and I was way sharper. I also noticed my muscle strength improved considerably during body pump classes and my arms look less saggy. So will continue
