You chose creatine for strength. Vitamin D3 + K2 belong right beside it.

Why I never think about creatine on its own

You just made a great decision for your muscles. When women ask me what I consider foundational in midlife, creatine is at the top of my list, and vitamin D sits right beside it.

Here's what I've learned after years of working with women in midlife: if you live north of Atlanta, you'll likely need some form of vitamin D supplementation year-round. Most of us spend the majority of our days indoors.

Strength in midlife is about more than muscle. It's muscle and bone together, and vitamin D is part of how your body uses calcium for bone. That's why D3 is the first thing I'd add next to your creatine.

How to take them together

Keep it simple. One D3-K2 capsule a day, at the same time you mix your Creatine+ stick, so one habit anchors the other. It plays well with Creatine+, and two bottles cover about four months of daily use.

Test, don't guess

This is my golden rule with every woman I work with. Ask your provider to check your vitamin D level, and use that number to guide your plan. Please talk with your provider before starting if you take a blood thinner or any prescription medication, already take a vitamin D or calcium supplement, or have a medical condition.
