They've done a subsequent study going down to about 0.2 grams or about 14 grams.
It didn't have the same effect.
So remember, a healthy brain likely doesn't need any creatine, but a stressed brain likely does.
And the more stressed it is, the higher the dose seems to come into play.
There's a lot of nuances with the brain.
Obviously, we just show different regions, which we don't have a lot of information.
But overall, it seems that 20 grams seems to be the most viable dose when the brain is stressed.
We basically need to start dumping out quite a bit more.
So when you get from this area on, the brain healthy likely doesn't benefit from any type of supplementation because it's making its own.
But in these areas, when you're stressed, it likely does.
The area of nuance or why it's become so popular is I think most people fall into this stressed environment.
And if they're not getting enough creatine through their diet,
and or supplementation.
That's why this big explosion on let's take more to sort of check off all the boxes.
So I take 10 grams a day at minimum to check off muscle, right?
That checks off bone for the most part.
And I'm pretty sure over time, 10 grams would do the most part for stress.
Now, since I just flown different time zones,
Today, I'm taking 20 to 25 grams based on this acutely.
And then when I go back to a non-stress environment, back to Canada, I'll go back to my regular 10.
