Dr. Darren Candow

So I try to really optimize evidence-based research, take it into my daily life and try to promote it that way.

I'm super fascinated with the movement from the neck up.

I think we know a lot about the neck down with creatine and exercise or other nutrients.

I'm fascinated with the ability... What about concussion?

You know, can the UFC fighter take creatine before they get hit?

Could that decrease CTE or concussion or brain trauma later on in life?

I think of boxing, Muhammad Ali, things like that.

So...

There's evidence in rodents that if you take creatine before head trauma, it really speeds up concussion recovery.

So I'm fascinated with that as well, like almost a prophylactic.

Anybody involved in head trauma, I think you should definitely look at creatine as something to be taking just in case you get hit.

And then, of course, everything with Alzheimer's or other areas of depression.

So I'm fascinated that this nutrient, which was, you know, 1832, it was discovered.

You know, that's interesting.

I would have said yes about five years ago, but now, no, there's too much to do.

Even with skeletal muscle, if you were to say, what's the best dose, Darren, to take?

I say, I have no clue.

Every creatine researcher said, I don't know.

We still don't know the best dose that every person can take.

that will check off all the boxes, especially in the brain.
