The safety profile is exceptional.

I mean, if you want to do 5 grams or more, I don't see any reason why not.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
Do they need to be taking the 10 and 20 grams?
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
We just don't have the data to support that.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
But a low dose, 2 to 3, 5 grams is totally viable.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
Just subjective questionnaires, how they're feeling, things like that.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
It's too dangerous in a sense because we just don't know yet.
FoundMyFitness

And to get an ethics board approval at a research institution is very difficult, even for teenagers and adults.

under the age of 18 so i know stacy is in our big myths paper is concluded that we need more randomized control trials a big trial because we definitely want to get this one right and make sure it's 100 safe not just for the unborn child but also for the mother um so there's going to be a lot more data to come out but overall there's no reason to suggest there's any issues whatsoever yeah

I think down the road, when they look at the hypoxic environment of fetal growth, I think it probably will get approved.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
But we're going to need a lot more clinical data to suggest it's safe and maybe a pilot study in that.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
The issues with pilot studies are usually low sample size.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
So then from a feasibility perspective, it might be have it actually I can see it in a multi country study.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
to get a lot of people in different countries to come together and make the sample size that high.
FoundMyFitness

So that's something to look forward to as well, especially in addition to the neurodegenerative diseases.

Or the motor unit recruitment or maybe muscle activation.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
So there's a whole plethora of ideas from a balance, agility, coordination perspective.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
It could be that they're able to exercise at a higher capacity, sort of almost hyper accelerate muscle development.
FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD
Those are all the things that are in its infancy to look at.

Again, there hasn't been a study to look at blood biomarkers for like liver and kidney enzymes.
