That's a situation where this could come into enhanced performance.

Then you think of celebrities, you think of athletes, these lot of high pressure things like imagine being in the World Cup final, the pressure, the mental capacity.

That's where creatine seems to come into play.

There's a lot of nuances.

We still don't know a lot.

So I think the big take home for people is that if you're going through periods of stress, a little bit more is OK.

We don't know any adverse effects.

We don't think there are any.

But again, if you're just taking creatine for muscle, bone, and the brain, you're likely going to be checking off all those boxes.

You likely won't feel anything.

Oh, okay.

However, when you get to tasks the next day, so for example, you're up all night, you take a high dose of creatine, then you have to go right to final or the midterm or you can't remember.

It's those things when you're memory and doing puzzles or basic tasks.

Or what about a stroke test?

So I'm going to get you to do this.

I apologize in advance.

It's one of the most fatiguing things that you can do.

And it was one of the most robust studies to show the efficacy behind creatine.

So all I simply want you to do is you can see that there's words and then corresponding letters, but you'll notice that the color is incorrect.

So up here you would see, you know, you have red, blue, green, blue, black, but the Stroop test is now looking at the bottom part.
