Supplement Saturday and this e-mail I am going to share a super simple yet effective tip for maximizing your creatine results and effectiveness.

If you’re taking creatine—or thinking about it—you’re already doing something that will boost your strength, recovery, and energy. Creatine is one of the most proven, science-backed supplements for women who lift.

But here’s something most women don’t know:

Creatine works even better when paired with carbohydrates and salt or electrolytes.

Why?
When you take creatine with a fast-digesting carb (like fruit juice, a banana, or rice cakes), it causes a small insulin spike.
This spike pulls creatine into your muscle cells faster, helping you get more out of every scoop.

Electrolytes — especially sodium — also make a big difference.
Sodium helps with cell hydration and creatine transport, which means better absorption, better muscle fullness, and better performance.

When to Take Creatine

The truth is, timing isn’t as important as consistency.

  • You can take it any time of day, as long as you take 3–5g daily.

  • Post-workout with a carb + pinch of salt (or an electrolyte drink) is ideal, because your muscles are primed to absorb nutrients.

  • But if you forget, take it with a meal — the key is not missing days.

A Simple Stack That Works

  • 3–5g creatine

  • 10–20g carbs (banana, fruit juice, rice cakes, etc.)

  • A pinch of sea salt or electrolyte powder

I’ve coached thousands of women, and this one small tweak can improve results in strength, recovery, and training performance.
