Maybe that'll give your brain and liver a bit of a break.
And there's evidence to suggest that maybe if you're taking creatine on a daily basis, those organs don't need to make as much because you're offsetting that.
um but again when you stop supplementation it goes back to baseline or it doesn't disrupt any of that and and the good thing is from a fertility perspective there's no evidence to suggest it down regulates a sperm motility health uh we can talk about hair follicle loss and thinning the same idea if you were if the viewers were looking at me but that was the same idea maybe creatine was causing baldness so maybe it must be doing the same thing to sperm it must be killing off the cell and we just don't see any of that research yeah so
Yeah, no, there has.
Chad Gursick and Andrew Agam at the Mayo Clinic here in the United States are the two most profound researchers in that area.
And they've looked at study after study in children, young children, adolescents, and there's no adverse effects.
And why would there be?
If our body doesn't like it, we just excrete in it.
There's a big push right now in some states trying to ban creatine in younger individuals, and they're just not looking at the evidence-based research.
So overall...
There's no adverse effects.
We still need to do a little bit of blood work, but it improves health, agility, coordination, muscle mass.
There's no reason.
And so that's why I'm one of the big proponents.
I argue, including the fetus, why someone couldn't take creatine if we're already producing it.
It's not like caffeine, a drug effect.
We're already producing it.
That's like telling people you can't take protein in your food or supplement.
That's just nonsensical.
So I'm one of the big people who say anybody can take creatine.
