There is some literature on traumatic brain injury where 20 grams of creatine for six months doubles the rate of healing.
But it's โ yeah, the field is in its infancy.
But I think that I actually โ
almost a decade ago, did a podcast on just creatine.
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.
And so it really is this...
And if you look at the literature, they'll say, well, it's more important in certain cells.
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.
And it's really important in long cells.
So for example, your retina is part of your central nervous system.
It's a really long cell that's coming from the brain into the eye.
And creatine helps move energy back and forth.
But if you just look at where, instead of where is it most important, you're just like, where is it?
It's like almost every cell in your body has creatine.
And it's helping distribute the energy that the mitochondria make throughout your whole body.
And that includes pumping stomach acid.
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.
