99% of all the thousands of papers.
And the one I hear a lot is there's a better bioavailable form than monohydrate.
And I'm like, wait a minute.
Creatine monohydrate's bioavailability is near 100%.
There might be a little bit extracted from the gut.
So how can you get more than 100%?
And then if it even got into the cell, I've never seen a study to show that it increased protein synthesis or had any of the effect on satellite cells or whichever.
I'm only aware that it increased creatine content.
So the good thing there is in those cells, I think it was hydrochloride.
That means it is a form of creatine.
But did it lead to performance benefits better than monohydrate?
I've never seen it.
So I...
Just caution people.
Just don't get caught in a lot of these marketing forms, really expensive forms when monohydrate is the one true.
I'm going to Germany and we're going to be talking for four straight days in two weeks on monohydrate.
Why?
Because that's what all the evidence-based researchers need to talk about because it's the only form that seems to be very viable.
Yeah.
So I recommend to these people, and it happens quite often, the sort of micro dose.
