It's frustrating when you're putting time and effort into a fitness routine and aren't seeing the physical results you want. Maybe you're still picking up the same weights you were a year ago—and they feel just as heavy. Or you did go up weights but hoped that would also mean more muscle definition.

So, what's the disconnect between the effort and the results? In addition to looking at your strength training schedule (which should involve at least two resistance workouts a week) and not falling into these group fitness mistakes (like me), it's time to consider a creatine supplement.

Creatine is not just a men's supplement

Creatine has garnered quite a reputation for being only for men who are avid gym-goers. That's still true—because the supplement works—but women benefit 1 from this powder too.*

Research shows that taking a creatine supplement consistently (along with strength training):*

Helps build lean muscle
Increases muscle strength
Combats soreness
Supplies energy to the muscle
Supports cognition and memory (that's right, it also helps your brain)

You start seeing these benefits once your creatine stores (in the muscles and brain) are fully saturated. But women's creatine stores are naturally about 70-80% lower 1 than men's, so a creatine supplement may be especially beneficial to reach this saturation.

Once that's achieved, you should be able to fully unlock the benefits of your workout and power up the intensity, duration, or typical weight of your current routine.*

So many women are leaning on (and loving) mindbodygreen's creatine+.

This powdered supplement provides the optimal 5-gram dose of creatine monohydrate for muscle health as well as 2 grams of the amino acid taurine (great for muscles, cognition, and longevity) in each stick pack.*

If you're looking for the brain and bone benefits of this supplement, a larger 10-gram dose (two stick packs) is the way to go.

creatine+ stick packs make it easy to take this daily essential on the go—no measuring required.

Here's what customers are saying about this supplement after adding it to their everyday routine.

See results already

"Since starting creatine+ daily, I've noticed gains in my strength. I'm hitting PRs in my lifts and got my first pull-up! I can easily add it to my daily coffee or flavored water."*

—Jennifer K.

Skeptic turned believer

"I'm very pleasantly surprised by this... I wasn't very hopeful, but I now admit—I feel better and finally notice some positive changes associated with my workouts. It's so discouraging to be putting in the effort [at the gym] but seeing no results.

"That started to change once adding this creatine+ into my routine. I notice a difference in my recovery, see results from my strength training, and I am always on board to improve my overall health with aging. My husband has switched from his brand of creatine to this, also, and is happy."

—Christine B.
