If youโ€™re a woman over 35, youโ€™ve probably noticed:

  • Recovery feels slower
  • Muscle mass is harder to maintain
  • Sleep, mood, and energy can fluctuate more than they used to

While no supplement can replace solid training, nutrition, and recovery habits,ย the right supplements can help fill critical gapsโ€”and support your body through this transition. Trust us.

Hereโ€™s what we recommend at Torque (and why):


๐Ÿงฌ 1. Creatine Monohydrate

Weโ€™ve talked about it before, but itโ€™s worth repeating: creatine isnโ€™t just for bodybuilders.

โœ… Preserves lean muscle
โœ… Supports brain health
โœ… Boosts energy and power
โœ… Protects against age-related muscle loss

Dose:ย 3โ€“5g daily, no loading phase required. We have Thorne brand at Torque and would be happy to show you it next time you’re in!


๐ŸŒฟ 2. Protein Supplements (Whey or Plant-Based)

Getting enough daily protein is harder than you think. Most women fall shortโ€”especially after 35 when protein needs increase to support muscle retention and metabolism.

โœ… Helps with fat loss and muscle gain
โœ… Improves recovery
โœ… Keeps you fuller longer

We proudly carry Ascent Protein at Torque for a clean, high-quality option.

Goal:ย Aim for 30โ€“40g of protein per meal, and use a shake to fill gaps when needed. Lots of Ascent flavors to choose from at Torque.


๐ŸŒž 3. Vitamin D + Magnesium

Vitamin D is essential for bone health, mood, and immunityโ€”and most adults are deficient. Magnesium plays a major role in sleep, stress management, and muscle recovery.

โœ… Supports healthy bones and joints
โœ… Boosts mood and energy levels
โœ… Enhances sleep quality

Tip: Choose a D3 + K2 blend for better absorption, and magnesium glycinate for a calming effect.


๐Ÿ’ง 4. Electrolytes

Especially if you train hard, sweat often, or live an active lifestyle, replenishing electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) is key.

โœ… Improves hydration
โœ… Supports muscle function
โœ… Reduces cramping

We loveย LMNTย for its clean ingredients and balanced formulaโ€”perfect for sipping during workouts or throughout your day. Come check out all of the flavors!


๐Ÿ”ฅ Why Supplements Are Just That: Supplements

Supplements are not shortcuts.
They’re tools that help support a strong foundation built on:

  • Consistent strength training
  • Smart cardio and active recovery
  • High-protein meals with whole foods
  • Stress management
  • Solid sleep hygiene

When you combine all of these, the right supplements can accelerate your results and help you feel amazingโ€”not just at the gym, but in everyday life.
