I only wish I had tried this sooner!

I don't write many reviews, especially for supplements, which are often overhyped by influencers, and results can seem so subjective. I decided to try creatine after following Dr. Louisa Nicola, who advocates it for physical and cognitive health.
Late 50s, post-menopause, diagnosed with pre-osteoporosis, have always been pretty active and a healthy weight, but started to get serious about strength training about 15 months ago. Some moderate improvements in what I could lift, but not as much as I'd hoped. I was getting discouraged.
Six weeks ago, I started this creatine (1 scoop daily), and the past few weeks, it's like a switch has flipped. I've been able to increase my weights, my strength is suddenly improving (especially in my core/back, which in turn improves my balance and flexibility), and I'm seeing the tiniest bit of definition starting to show in my shoulders, back, and abs. For an ectomorph body type (long, lean, low muscle mass, hard gainer), it's been amazing.
The only thing I've changed in my diet and activity is adding this supplement. I wish I had tried this a year ago when I first bought it then shoved it to the back of my cupboard. At that time, I was a little freaked out when I read that it can cause water retention. I haven't had that at all, and I haven't had any digestive issues. Mixed with plenty of water, it's tasteless and easy to fit into my day.
I'm also intrigued by the cognitive protection it can potentially provide (again, as stated by Dr. Nicoloa). Alzheimer's runs in my family, and I'm doing everything I can to hopefully prevent it.
