Creatine for Women Over 40: Not Just for Bodybuilders
By Mark & Terri Klapperich, Shaklee Independent Ambassadors
The short answer
Creatine is one of the most-studied supplements in the world, and interest among women over 40 has grown because it supports strength and stamina and is being studied for cognitive health. Shaklee's Creatine+ Power Blend combines micronized creatine monohydrate with a proprietary blend of polyphenols and magnesium designed to generate, recharge, and activate ATP, your body's cellular fuel.*
What creatine does
Creatine helps your cells regenerate ATP, the molecule they burn for quick energy. Your body makes some and you get some from meat and fish, but most adults, especially women, run below the level that supplementation provides.
Why women over 40 in particular
Muscle mass declines with age, and maintaining it is one of the biggest levers for staying active. Creatine is widely used to support strength and stamina, and newer research is exploring its role in brain health. Terri went down this rabbit hole first and it changed how we think about it.
How Creatine+ is different
Most creatine is just creatine. Shaklee's Creatine+ Power Blend adds a proprietary blend of polyphenols and magnesium, designed to generate, recharge, and activate ATP.* Shaklee positions it for strength, stamina, and cognitive health with daily use.*
How we use it
One scoop in the morning Life Shake. That is it. No loading phase, no cycling, just consistency.
