We're just giving an estimate that I take 10, maybe you take 12, someone might take 15.

But at the end of the day, we still don't know the best supplementation protocol, the best dose.

So there's so many areas.

So for the next 20 years, I bet y'all still be focusing on creatine with other things as well, yeah.

different for different people excellent question so the thought was that the larger you are you have more storing capacity in your muscle for creatine so it makes sense if you're 50 kilograms and 150 kilograms you're going to have a greater storing capacity so the dose on a relative basis is likely higher there as well the more stress the person is it's likely they're going to require more because their natural machinery in the brain can't keep up so it is very individualistic

I think we give a general recommendations to make it easy.

But again, some people can take it very scientifically and base it on body weight and you can't go wrong with both.

I would say creatine is one tool in that health promotion toolbox that might help you live longer and better and allow you to maintain activities later on in life, which you wouldn't have been able to do.

And unfortunately, that leads to accelerated aging and a poor way to go.

It's like saying, I'm going to save everything for retirement.

My question is why?

You might not make it to retirement.

So that's one of the things, yeah.

It's catastrophic.

Unfortunately, I'm going through it.

You know, I've noticed ever since I hit the fourth decade, things hurt a lot more and muscle mass to retain it is a little bit harder.

So unfortunately, think of the body's ability to withstand stress is not as high and things start to break down quite fast.

So we all know, you know, things hurt more.

We've lost muscle mass.

I can't run as fast.
