We got to maintain memory and cognition and creatine can help maintain some of those factors.

So you won't feel anything, but performance of activities like that come into play.

I would have to get the graph, but it did prove statistically significant.

Yeah.

So it doesn't boost the brain.

It likely just brings those levels back up to normal levels before stress, and it might give you a little bit more.

So there's been populations of Alzheimer's disease, clinical depression, concussion.

When those populations are evident, one of the biggest factors is that they have reduced creatine in their brain.

So maybe supplementation can get through the blood-brain barrier.

The brain says, I need help.

And that's why you see some improvements there as well.

So I like to think of the brain that creatine can act as a safety net.

And it certainly won't cause any detrimental effects.

But it's always good to have that because you never know when I give you a Stroop test.

Like, I'm going to find you tomorrow and give you this and say, you're going to be practicing all night.

Will you perform better?

But that's just an example of something that we go through on a daily basis.

If someone's working on Wall Street or whichever it is, really high stress demand, you know, stuck in traffic for two hours.

These all add up and it's a cascade of stressors that unfortunately most people go through.

And now we have a nutrient that is being made in the brain.
