Descrizione dettagliata
This is a prospective, multicenter, observational clinical study aimed at evaluating adherence to a creatine-based nutritional supplementation (Creaticare FEM) in estrogen-depleted adult women, including those in menopause or late perimenopause.
Creaticare FEM is a multi-ingredient dietary supplement formulated to support musculoskeletal, metabolic, and skin health in this population. The daily dose (10 g) contains creatine monohydrate (3 g), hydrolyzed collagen (5 g), hyaluronic acid (95 mg), beta-alanine (300 mg), magnesium (200 mg), and vitamins A, C, E, and B6.
Participants will receive the nutritional supplement for a period of 12 weeks, without any modification of standard clinical practice. The primary objective is to describe adherence to supplementation, defined as the percentage of prescribed doses consumed during the study period and the proportion of participants achieving high adherence (≥80%) at the end of follow-up.
Secondary objectives include the assessment of persistence with supplementation, participant-reported acceptability and satisfaction, tolerability through the monitoring of adverse events, and adherence to a general recommendation of physical activity provided as part of routine care.
In addition, exploratory analyses will be performed to describe pre-post changes over the 12-week period in selected clinical variables, including muscle strength (handgrip dynamometry), body composition (bioimpedance), quality of life (Cervantes questionnaire), joint pain (visual analog scale), and skin health perception (cosmetic VAS). These exploratory outcomes are descriptive in nature and intended to generate hypotheses for future controlled studies.
The study does not involve randomization, control group, or experimental intervention beyond routine supplementation, and therefore is not intended to establish causal relationships or confirm clinical efficacy, but rather to provide real-world evidence on adherence, acceptability, and tolerability of a multimodal nutritional supplement in this population.

Creatine-based nutritional supplement
Single prospective cohort of estrogen-depleted adult women (menopause or late perimenopause) receiving a creatine-based nutritional supplement for 12 weeks under routine clinical practice conditions. Participants take a daily dose of the supplement (10 g), which contains creatine monohydrate, hydrolyzed collagen, hyaluronic acid, beta-alanine, magnesium, and vitamins A, C, E, and B6. In addition, participants receive general recommendations for physical activity (including strength and aerobic exercise) consistent with standard clinical advice, without supervised training or structured intervention. The study does not include randomization, control group, or experimental assignment, as it aims to evaluate adherence, acceptability, and tolerability of nutritional supplementation in a real-world setting. |

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Adherence to Nutritional Supplementation Measured as Percentage of Prescribed Doses Consumed and Proportion of Participants Achieving ≥80% Adherence
Lasso di tempo: 12 weeks
|
Adherence to supplementation assessed as the percentage of prescribed doses consumed during the 12-week study period, based on participant self-reported daily supplementation logs. Adherence will be expressed as a continuous variable (0-100%). In addition, the proportion of participants achieving ≥80% adherence at Week 12 will be calculated. Higher values indicate greater adherence. |

Change in Handgrip Strength Measured by Dynamometry (kg)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline to Week 12
|
Change in handgrip strength measured using a hand dynamometer (kg) between baseline and Week 12. Three consecutive measurements will be performed on the same hand, and the mean value (kg) will be calculated for each participant.
Higher values indicate greater muscle strength.
|
Baseline to Week 12
|
|
Change in Joint Pain Measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS, 0-10)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline to Week 12
|
Change in perceived joint pain measured using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS; 0-10), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates worst possible pain, between baseline and Week 12. Higher scores indicate greater pain.
|
Baseline to Week 12
|
|
Change in Body Composition Measured by Bioimpedance Analysis (Lean Mass, Fat Mass, Total Body Water, Protein, Skeletal Muscle Mass)
Lasso di tempo: Baseline to Week 12
|
Change in body composition parameters assessed by bioimpedance analysis between baseline and Week 12, including lean mass (kg), fat mass (kg), total body water (%), protein mass (kg), and skeletal muscle mass (kg).
Changes in these parameters will be analyzed descriptively, with higher lean mass, protein mass, skeletal muscle mass, and total body water, and lower fat mass, indicating improved body composition.

Change in quality of life assessed using the Cervantes Scale, a validated 31-item questionnaire specific for menopausal women. The questionnaire includes the following domains: menopause and health, psychological domain, sexuality, couple relationship, and vasomotor symptoms. Domain-specific scores and total score will be analyzed descriptively. Questionnaires with 3 or more missing items will be considered invalid; questionnaires with 1 or 2 missing items will be handled according to the correction rules specified in the instrument manual. |
