Like the movement is got to be there.

And I think most people are aware of the benefits of exercise.

And then if creatine or protein or whatever it is you're eating can give you a small beneficial effect, I'm all for it.

And I think a lot of people would be there as well.

So creatine definitely has the potential.

It kind of has a lot of potential for a lot of things.

But without protein, those two need to be there.

We don't think creatine can rescue a hypocaloric diet, especially low in protein, but we just don't know.

I argue that creatine falls in line with protein with its aging anabolic resistance.

As we get older, my guess is where we have lower creatine in some of our muscles as we get older, we need more protein.

So now there's a young versus older stereotype, just like protein.

Younger individuals may respond from 20 to 25 grams all the way up to older adults.

So I think creatine is definitely a part of my day.

And I try to promote the evidence-based research, especially from an older adult population.

If anything, we can do to offset chronic disease or getting chronic disease.

That's beneficial.

And we're starting to really focus on young females.

Exercise is so important.

Adequate protein and then creatine.

It's not just for males.
