The Joe Rogan Experience

There is some literature on traumatic brain injury where 20 grams of creatine for six months doubles the rate of healing.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

That's incredible.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

But it's โ€“ yeah, the field is in its infancy.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

But I think that I actually โ€“

The Joe Rogan Experience

almost a decade ago, did a podcast on just creatine.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

I called it more than a performance enhancer because if you just look at where it's distributed in the body, almost every cell and every tissue has the creatine system.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And so it really is this...

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And if you look at the literature, they'll say, well, it's more important in certain cells.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

It's really important in your muscles because your muscles have this very polarized, sometimes they're at rest, sometimes their energy demand is going through the roof.

The Joe Rogan Experience

And it's really important in long cells.

The Joe Rogan Experience

So for example, your retina is part of your central nervous system.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

It's a really long cell that's coming from the brain into the eye.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And creatine helps move energy back and forth.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

But if you just look at where, instead of where is it most important, you're just like, where is it?

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

It's like almost every cell in your body has creatine.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And it's helping distribute the energy that the mitochondria make throughout your whole body.

The Joe Rogan Experience
#2420 - Chris Masterjohn

And that includes pumping stomach acid.

The Joe Rogan Experience

It includes sperm swimming up the vaginal canal.

And so if you just look at where it is, you would think that creatine would help a lot more than muscles.
