So I would be shocked if more studies don't come out in vascularity health or angiogenesis or anything like that, potentially looking at homocysteine as a surrogate marker for potentially explaining some of the effects.

Yeah.

Because if homocysteine comes down, you would speculate endothelial health would go up and some of those things, yeah.

Oh, geez.

No, you hit the caffeine one.

I knew that was an important one for people.

You know, let's go back to the carbohydrate one because I think people hear this.

The best way to augment creatine into the muscle is with muscle contraction, which is great.

But the dose of carbohydrates shown to sort of increase it is almost over 75 grams.

And I think most people are not going to consume that.

Protein is a great one to add creatine to because it's insulogenic as well.

So combining creatine and protein will probably give you a superior effect.

There's been two studies that show you get a greater increase in muscle performance and lean body mass when you combine creatine with protein.

In this protein case, it was whey protein.

It was only about 30 grams.

So now when you're looking at your post exercise meal, pre exercise meal, I think creatine and protein are good friends.

Consider them as something that you may want to consider, especially in your post exercise meal.

Or like I take at least 50 grams of protein with breakfast.

I put my creatine in there.

I don't need to worry about it until later on.
