THE FUSE

For decades, the science of creatine was overtly built on one demographic: young men. Women weren't excluded by mistake or out of misogyny. Early sports nutrition research simply followed the demographic trends of athletic populations, which historically skewed heavily male. But the consequence was no less real: every evidence-based recommendation, every dosing guideline, every popular claim about what creatine does was derived from data that didn't necessarily represent how creatine actually works in a female body. This era of primary male focus is finally changing, and the emerging research suggests an unexpected result: Creatine may be even more beneficial for women.
