1Creatine isn't just for men
Creatine has a reputation as a "guy thing", but it works the same way for women. More and more women are adding it to their routine: busy moms, grandmothers, walkers, yoga and pickleball regulars. Pair it with some resistance training, like bands, light weights or a class at the community centre, and that's the kind of strength you use every day, from hauling grocery bags to lifting a grandchild.
Creatine increases lean muscle mass with resistance training.
2It tastes great, with electrolytes as a bonus
Let's be honest: if it doesn't taste good, you won't keep it up. CreaPrime comes in four flavours: Blue Raspberry, Frosty Grape, Green Apple Candy and Orange Mango. Every flavoured powder also has electrolytes mixed in, so your daily scoop doubles as a tasty glass of water. (Prefer it plain? Our Unflavoured powder is just creatine, with no electrolytes.)
3A simple daily habit: one scoop in water
No complicated cycles, no "loading phases", no pills to count. Keep the pouch on the kitchen counter next to the kettle, stir one scoop into a glass of water and get on with your day. Morning, after your walk, whenever suits you. Being consistent is what matters. And if you like to stay active, like a quick climb up the stairs or a fast rally on the court:
Creatine improves strength and power in repetitive bouts of brief, highly intense activity.
45g of creatine a day, made in Canada, NSF Certified for Sport
Each scoop gives you 5g of creatine monohydrate from a Canadian brand. CreaPrime powders are NSF Certified for Sport, an independent program that tests products for banned substances and checks that what's on the label is what's inside. Quality you can check for yourself.
