Hey girl 💚
If you've seen me talking about the 30 Day Creatine Challenge that starts next Monday August 3rd and thought "that's cool but it's probably not for me"... this email IS specifically for you.
Because I hear the same things over and over from women who haven't tried creatine yet:
"I don't work out hard enough for creatine."
You don't have to be doing intense gym sessions. If you do any kind of strength work, bodyweight exercises, MOVE app workouts, anything where your muscles are being challenged, creatine helps. And if you don't workout at all, creatine is still so valuable for your mind. The cognitive benefits, less brain fog, more focus are studied and real.
"I'm worried it'll make me bloated or puffy."
This is the biggest myth out there. Some cheap creatine can cause water retention because of the quality and because people don't hydrate enough with it. (her)FORM uses Creapure (the highest quality creatine available) and includes Coconut Water Powder and Himalayan Sea Salt specifically for hydration. Plus 3g of L-Glutamine which actually supports your gut. Most women tell me they feel LESS bloated, not more.
"I tried creatine before and didn't notice anything."
How long did you take it? If the answer is less than 3 weeks, you didn't give it enough time. Creatine builds up in your muscles gradually. Most women don't feel the real difference until weeks 2-3. That's literally why this challenge is 30 days. I'm not going to let you quit before it kicks in.
"I'm not sure creatine is safe for women."
Creatine is one of the most studied supplements on the planet. Hundreds of studies, decades of research. It is safe and effective. And the emerging research on creatine specifically for women is really exciting. Brain function, mood, bone density, hormonal support. We actually arguably benefit more than men in certain areas.
Here are what just a few women who probably had the same doubts said after taking it:
