#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

And again, those emphasizing a plant-based diet, with everything going on in the world nowadays, a lot of people are looking to more plant-based diets for health reasons or whichever.

And then they might need to consider a supplement.

So usually we're not in the market of talking about supplements.

But this one is the one that seems to come to mind where it might be difficult to get the amount needed in your diet.

from financial costs, ethical treatment of animals, whatever your own habitual preference is, and if they're third-party tested, it's the safest, most effective ergogenic aid out there right now.

The safety profile is exceptional, especially at the dosages we're talking about.

When we talk about protein, we're talking hundreds of grams.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

At most, we're talking maybe 10, 20 grams for the athletes, which is basically two teaspoons in the run of a day.

So it's not a lot, but there is a lot of evidence-based research behind it, yeah.

#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

Super exciting.

Like this is such an emerging area.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

So from the neck up, I think the next 20 to 30 years will be focused almost entirely on this.

So our liver produces creatine and our brain actually is unique.

FoundMyFitness

It also produces creatine.

But the brain is very resistant.

FoundMyFitness

We have the blood brain barrier for a really important reason.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

And the brain says, you know what?

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

Circulation, we don't need creatine in the blood.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

We're making our own.

So an individual getting adequate sleep, no chronic disease, no metabolic diseases, no neurodegenerative diseases is producing adequate amounts of brain creatine.
