Okay, can we then solve maybe some holes there with supplementation?
Getting any supplement from whole food first is always a landslide of a win.
But if you have to use them, we'd recommend either sticking to the basics like that.
And I could certainly add more to that list.
Or if you're going to add more, make sure that they are very specific to your physiology, very specific to your blood work, very specific to some limitation you're having based on a choice you've made with your exercise or something else.
Because outside of that, then you start, you can potentially run into issues.
But the kind of high profile, high safety, high benefit ones are there.
So performance versus health, like it's not really that different to be honest.
It can a little bit.
I'd say that if you give any person any supplement, some people will come back and say, this hurt my stomach.
I mean, you could give them a placebo and some of that would happen.
So is it possible that some women might feel like watery or bloated from creatine?
Yeah.
But also like, again, we could give you any food and that could happen.
So if you're saying like on aggregate, is it a moderate risk?
No, no.
And do you see that reported a lot in literature?
No.
Have I given like hundreds of women creatine?
Yeah.
