“Creatina sí, pero vitamina D no”: ¿Hay sesgo de género también en torno a los suplementos?
Los hombres los toman sobre todo para mejorar su rendimiento deportivo; las mujeres, las mayores consumidoras, para mejorar la calidad de vida o paliar síntomas en etapas concretas como la menopausia. Pero mientras sobre la creatina hay décadas de investigación, los productos en mujeres no siempre se estudian
Many women experience fatigue, poor sleep, weight gain, and minor memory lapses during the perimenopausal stage, which can last up to ten years. Hormonal changes during this transition can negatively impact quality of life, but medical experts have largely dismissed both the causes and symptoms of menopause. Melinda French Gates highlighted this issue in a June column for The New York Times, describing a recurring scene in which a woman enters her doctor's office with increasingly debilitating symptoms—poor sleep, joint pain, a racing heart, and memory loss—and leaves without a diagnosis, treatment, or plan.
A meta-study published in The Lancet in June further corroborated this by reviewing 89 publications and finding that healthcare systems fail to provide coordinated care for women, leaving them feeling ignored, unsupported, and misinformed.
