The general take
Layne Norton calls creatine monohydrate the most tested and effective sports supplement, arguing it's the only form worth using since it fully saturates muscle cells with phosphocreatine. Dr. Stephanie Estima emphasizes that creatine is important for women too, pushing back against its outdated image as just a "bro supplement." Both speakers are clearly enthusiastic about it as a legitimate, evidence-backed supplement.

…recommending creatine supplementation for women in combination with resistance training
“Oh, I'm so happy you have this one here. Creatine. I know you just had Dr. Darren Kandow on the show. He was actually on my podcast as well. For women, you know, I think creatine used to be this, like, bro supplement, you know, like these bodybuilders with the scary, you know, noises and the, you know, weird T-shirts and stuff. But creatine is really, really important for women. The way that Dr. Kandow described it to me was he said, you know, lifting weights builds the cake and this is like the icing on top of it, right? So you're not going to, you know, enhance performance. You're not going to build strength if you're just doing the creatine. You have to be pairing it with the mechanical signal of resistance training. But I think every woman can be taking five grams, three to five grams of this every single day.”

…discussing creatine monohydrate as the most tested and effective supplement
“It is the most tested, safe, and effective sports supplement we have. I mean, it's just, there are thousands of studies on creatine monohydrate now. I would say very clearly too, if you're using any other form of creatine, I think you're wasting your money. Creatine monohydrate. It is tried and true. It's been shown to saturate the muscle cells 100% with phosphocreatine, and that's what you want. So creatine works through a few different methodologies. One, through increasing phosphocreatine content, which helps improve exercise performance. It appears to improve recovery, and it increases lean mass, a lot of which is through bringing water into the muscle cells.”

…discussing which type of creatine supplement to take for optimal results
“So by far, creatine monohydrate. And that goes against all the new marketing forms. So creatine monohydrate is simply creatine linked to one water molecule. When you take it into the body, the water molecule dissolves. It's identical to what's being produced in the liver and the brain. All the evidence that you ever hear about the safety and efficacy of creatine is based on the old, boring, from 1832, creatine monohydrate.”

…creatine supplement form for muscle building and strength
“And I had a question about, uh, you know, creatine monohydrate. I think, you know, generally, um, generally that's fine. You know, I actually take one called crealkaline. It's a little bit, it's buffered. Yeah. It's a little easier on the digestive track. I actually was working with, I have a, uh, um, I have a team that does, uh, uh, we have a whole lab where, where we work on creating supplements and different things. And so we're working now, we have a source that's actually soluble, which is, which is really great too.”

…creatine supplement for muscle strength and potential cognitive benefits
“Creatine is really big these days. Everyone's talking about creatine, it seems. Creatine has been around a long time. What can it do for muscle and strength? What do we know it can do for brain function? Yeah, it's having a renaissance, but for women. It's just creatine monohydrate, often packaged in gummy form, which you should be careful about because gummy supplements often don't contain the dose that they claim to contain. So be careful about the gummies. They're often, they spray the gummy with the kind of solution on top afterwards, and so it can, anyway. I would go with a powder form of creatine monohydrate over a gummy.”
