Key Insight

This survey suggests many women try creatine for healthy aging rather than sports.


Women taking creatine were more likely than men to cite healthy aging as their goal and less likely to cite athletic performance. Among about 2,100 users on a supplement platform, women were half or more of short-term users but only 20% of 3+ year users. Women also felt less confident than men at the same knowledge level, and newer users were unsure rather than believing myths. With a 2% response rate and a single snapshot, the survey can't explain why fewer women report long-term use.
