PTSD also comes to my mind.

And the common denominators, those with clinical depression or anxiety, when you measure their baseline creatine stores, very similar to concussion or Alzheimer's, they're reduced.

So therefore, obviously, this...

condition or series of conditions is causing a disruption at the brain bioenergetic level and creatine levels are decreasing.

And that group is from Perry Renshaw's group out of Utah.

They do great work.

Our hope, and I'm collaborating with some colleagues now to look at creatine as a standalone treatment versus placebo, could it have some beneficial effects there?

So that's very exciting to come out.

They're primarily animal-based, so seafood and red meat.

You know, herring is going to have one of the highest concentrations, salmon as well as beef.

Very small amounts in milk and dairy, so you'd have to drink all the milk in the Jersey cow to get a sufficient amount.

So it definitely comes down to animal-based flesh, yeah.

Yeah, we did that study a few years ago in young biological females who were healthy.

And on the days that they trained and took creatine, this is interesting because they actually slept an hour longer compared to a placebo.

So this is a very...

Interesting fact.

So creatine, you know, we now know it has brain bioenergetics and there's two arguments.

If it's making the brain recover, wouldn't you need less sleep, right?

Now in this study, it showed that improved.

So maybe these individuals trained at a higher capacity and allowed the brain to have more homeostasis to come back.
