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

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.

#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

And why would there be?

#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

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.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

So overall...

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

There's no adverse effects.

#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

We still need to do a little bit of blood work, but it improves health, agility, coordination, muscle mass.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

There's no reason.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

And so that's why I'm one of the big proponents.

#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

I argue, including the fetus, why someone couldn't take creatine if we're already producing it.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

It's not like caffeine, a drug effect.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

We're already producing it.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

That's like telling people you can't take protein in your food or supplement.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

That's just nonsensical.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

So I'm one of the big people who say anybody can take creatine.
