And I started to know that these young biological males were getting bigger, stronger, faster.
And then another study, bigger, stronger, faster.
And then when you go to the research on creatine, it was very stimulating in a sense that we're now improving things that we know with aging go down.
So then I turned my focus completely to healthy aging and trying to get, you know, grandparents and great grandparents and your parents to live longer free of disease.
But wait, let's start young.
Start as early as you can and move forward young.
And I started to take creatine.
So, you know, it was this natural metabolite that we're synthesizing in the liver and brain.
If you take a little bit more, not a lot, just a little bit more than what we're probably taking in from the food, sources such as red meat and seafood, can it have benefits?
And sure enough, it's now the most researched supplement out there.
It's overtaken protein and caffeine from an ergogenic perspective.
And it's gone global, not just for males, but of course, females and centurions and elderly.
So it's very fascinating, the explosion in this research project.
Yeah, that's a great question.
So adenosine triphosphate or ATP is the energy currency of all our cells.
And think of your muscle doing work or shoveling the driveway or walking.
You're using your muscles and you need to maintain that level of energy to maintain exercise.
Well, creatine comes to the rescue to help maintain your energy currency.
So if Batman, which gets all the press, is ATP, Robin is creatine.
Creatine comes to the rescue.
