Creatine monohydrate for lean mass, strength, and bone density in postmenopausal women: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition·December 31, 2026·PMID 42141930
Why it mattersPostmenopausal women experience accelerated muscle and strength loss, increasing sarcopenia and frailty risk. This analysis provides evidence that a simple, low-cost supplement like creatine, when paired with resistance training, can modestly improve lean mass and strength, offering a practical adjunct to exercise interventions in this population.
