A research-grade creatine monohydrate formulation designed to support skeletal muscle performance, protein synthesis, and exercise capacity. Provides doses aligned with clinical trials to optimize physiological benefits beyond endogenous production and dietary intake.

All batch testing and Certificates of Analysis are available in the Menopause Science Trust Center.

Clinical Profile

Targets

Skeletal muscle performance
Exercise capacity and endurance
Muscle protein synthesis
Support for high-intensity training

Primary Active

Creatine Monohydrate
A widely studied compound produced in the liver and kidneys and delivered to skeletal muscle. Supplementation provides physiologically relevant doses to support exercise performance and muscle metabolism.

Formulation Rationale

Endogenous creatine production and dietary intake are insufficient to reach levels demonstrated in clinical research to enhance muscle performance. Supplementation with standardized creatine monohydrate ensures consistent, research-aligned dosing.

Manufactured by a leading global producer of creatine used in clinical research, ensuring purity, stability, and efficacy.

Key Characteristics

Research-grade creatine monohydrate
Provides clinically relevant dosing for performance
Supports skeletal muscle function and exercise capacity
Manufactured in a GMP-certified, FDA-registered facility

Research Summary

Creatine monohydrate is the most clinically studied supplement in the world. It has been tested in hundreds of randomized controlled trials over the past 30 years. It’s effective, affordable, and among the safest supplements available when used at recommended doses.

Creatine monohydrate works by increasing phosphocreatine stores in muscle tissue, providing rapid energy for cellular processes, including muscle contraction and protein synthesis. During menopause and perimenopause, declining estrogen accelerates muscle loss (sarcopenia), reduces bone density, and can impact cognitive function. Clinical studies in postmenopausal women demonstrate that creatine supplementation, particularly when combined with resistance training, may help support muscle preservation, bone health, and cognitive performance, addressing three critical areas affected by hormonal changes during midlife.*

Plain Language Summary

Research shows that creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied and safest supplements available, with particular relevance for women during and after menopause. Clinical trials suggest that creatine, especially when combined with resistance training, may help support lean muscle, promote markers of bone strength, and assist with aspects of cognitive performance. Studies lasting one to two years have reported positive effects on indicators of bone health, while shorter trials suggest creatine may help support muscle energy and function. Additional research indicates it may also help the brain’s natural energy processes during times of stress or sleep disruption—common experiences during midlife. Taken consistently at 3–5 grams per day, creatine has a strong safety record over decades of use, with minimal side effects in healthy individuals, making it a well-researched option for supporting strength, bone health, and mental clarity during menopause.*
