My girl wanted to know if any of the women here have used creatine with success? We have read several articles that say it doesn't work for women?

it works great for them as well. since it doesnt touch the endrocrine system, there is no concern with hormonal problems. a recent study (2000) from the Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research found that women can gain strength and reduce bodyfat while supplementing with creatine. the same study found no incidence of kidney or liver malfunction with the women.

No prob, but she has to know that she risks some bloating and of course water retention.

Great for fast recovering thou.

I wouldn't recommend it if she is strict dieting (for a contest or photos... whatever)
