And that, you know, you hear about fight or flight or you're nervous or whichever it is, it gives you a little bit more of that.

So that's why sometimes you feel a little bit jittery or things like that.

Yeah, and so that's where it's sort of the new area of interest for me is this microdosing based on that.

So we're starting to see some evidence now that if you take smaller amounts all throughout the day, it does not have any adverse effects.

If anything, it seems to be a little bit more tolerable.

So you could take a few grams in the morning, a few grams in the evening, or whichever.

I think one of the best ways to take it that never gets any press is I put five grams in my water bottle during my workout.

And so now I'm consuming a little bit of creatine as I do my weightlifting or cardio.

And then I'll consume a little bit in the morning as well.

So I take about 10 grams a day at minimum on a daily basis.

Other people will take more or less, but that's just how I get it in.

And it seems to be more consistent and appreciated for individuals because if you do or are susceptible to any fluctuations in weight gain, water retention, or GI tract irritation, those seem to definitely go away.

And we've assessed over a thousand individuals in my lab, and that seems to be a very viable approach.

Not a lot of taste to it, is there?

It's not the best tasting.

No, it's very bland, very boring.

But there's other companies trying to make it more flavorful, things like that.

The cool thing is with creatine, you can put it in anything.

You can put it in yogurt, a juice, whichever it is.

You can now put it in coffee.
