MYTH 1
Creatine is only for body builders
The Truth:
Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders or athletes—it’s for anyone seeking more energy, better recovery, and improved performance. Whether you’re hitting the gym, going for a run, or managing a busy day, creatine supports physical energy and mental clarity.*
When paired with taurine, this combination enhances cognitive function, providing more sustained focus throughout the day.* For women, creatine with taurine+ is especially beneficial.

MYTH 2

Creatine causes dehydration and cramps

Creatine causes

dehydration and cramps

The Truth:

Clinical studies have shown that creatine doesn’t cause dehydration or cramping. In fact, it supports hydration by drawing water into your muscle cells—helping you recover faster and perform better, while supporting lean muscle and helping your body perform under stress.*

MYTH 3

Creatine makes you bulky

The Truth:

Creatine can cause early water retention—but it’s stored in your muscle tissue, not under your skin.*

It’s not fat, and it fades as your body adjusts.

Taurine helps balance fluids and reduce puffiness, so you can feel strong—not swollen.*

MYTH 4

You need to lift heavy for creatine to work

The Truth:

Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders or people who lift weights every day.
It supports strength, recovery, and lean muscle, no matter how you move. Walking. Pilates. Yoga. Strength training. It all counts.

creatine with taurine+ makes it easy to build a stronger, healthier, more toned body - without changing your entire routine.

Because you don’t have to lift heavy to feel powerful.*

MYTH 5

Creatine gummies work just as well

The Truth:

Not all creatine is created equal—especially in gummy form. Many are loaded with sugar and additives, and a recent independent study found several popular brands contained far less creatine than advertised—as little as 0.084g per gummy, well below the 3–5g clinically effective dose1. Hitting that target would require an impractical number of gummies.

mindbodygreen creatine+ with taurine delivers a clinically backed dose in a highly absorbable, easy-to-mix powder—so you get real results, not just candy with claims.

did you know?
Women have 70-80% lower creatine stores than men
Here’s Why:
Lower Muscle Mass
Lower testosterone = less natural creatine storage
Less red meat in the diet
To get the same 5g dose from food, you'd need to eat more than 2 pounds of red meat daily—which is why supplementing with creatine with taurine+ is key.
Here’s how creatine helps women:
creatine with taurine+ supports women’s strength, energy, and brain power—especially through perimenopause and menopause.*
Preserves lean muscle as we age*
Supports bone density, especially during menopause*
Boosts memory & cognitive function*
