At Therasage, we believe wellness is a symphony, light, hydration, frequency, movement, and intention. Today, let’s shine that light on a misunderstood molecule with big potential: creatine.

Often lumped in with gym culture and overlooked in holistic circles, creatine is actually a foundational nutrient for cellular energy, one that may be especially essential for women.

And here’s where things get interesting: creatine doesn’t just boost strength, it complements so many of the Therasage lifestyle tools you already love.

What Is Creatine?

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound made in your liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It helps recycle ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecule your body uses to power every function, from blinking to detoxing.

At Therasage, we talk a lot about supporting your mitochondria, the tiny energy factories in your cells. Creatine is one of the unsung heroes that keeps them going.

Why Women May Need More Creatine

Research shows women produce up to 80% less creatine than men, and consume far less through food \[1]. This gap becomes especially relevant during life transitions like perimenopause, postpartum, or even high-stress periods.

That’s why creatine may be a simple yet powerful way to support energy, metabolism, and recovery, right alongside your daily Sauna360, Tri-Lite, and TheraH2Go routine.

The Top 5 Benefits of Creatine (Backed by Science)

1. Preserves Lean Muscle & Strength

Creatine, especially when combined with resistance training, supports muscle synthesis and functional strength \[2]\[3]. This can help you stay active, mobile, and metabolically balanced.

Pair it with post-sweat sessions in your Thera360 Plus Personal Sauna, where muscle recovery and lymph flow are optimized with full-spectrum infrared and negative ions.

2. Supports Bone Density

Especially in postmenopausal women, creatine and strength training may help maintain bone density and reduce fracture risk \[5].

Stack it with structured hydration (hello, TheraH2Go) and gentle fascia release tools like the TheraPro Vibration for a holistic musculoskeletal upgrade.

3. Improves Cognitive Function & Mood

Creatine helps increase brain energy and may support memory, focus, and mood regulation \[6]\[7].

Pair this with a few minutes under the Tri-Lite Red/NIR light, which also energizes brain mitochondria and supports circadian alignment.

4. Boosts Cellular Energy

More ATP = more vitality. This is where contrast therapy comes in, combine TheraFrost and sauna sessions with creatine to supercharge mitochondrial output.

We call this the Energy Stack, targeting cellular energy production from multiple angles to spark renewal from the inside out.

5. Helps You Age Gracefully, Not Passively

Creatine supports total-body vitality as we age, preserving tissue quality, energy output, and even emotional resilience. It’s not just about workouts; it’s about life force.

Common Myths (Busted)

 “Creatine causes bloating.” Not when used properly. Any initial water retention is intracellular (where it’s helpful!), not puffiness.
 “It’s just for men.” Actually, women respond extremely well to creatine, especially those who are active or navigating hormonal shifts.
 “It’s not natural.” Your body makes creatine. You’re simply topping up what stress, aging, and lifestyle deplete.

Therasage’s Take

We don’t sell creatine, but we love what it represents: cellular restoration, not stimulation. We believe it's a wonderful complement to our healing technologies:

Use your Thera360 post-training to enhance creatine’s impact on recovery and detox.
Pair with TheraH2Go hydrogen water for deeper hydration and reduced oxidative stress.
Layer in Tri-Lite or TheraGlow for enhanced skin, energy, and mitochondrial harmony.

When paired with red light, structured hydration, daily movement, and even breathwork, creatine becomes part of a synergistic lifestyle. And that’s what we’re here for.
Because healing isn’t found in any one modality, it’s in how they all connect.

With warmth, energy, and cellular love,
