#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

And I think in today's society, we could all use a little bit of help.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

Yeah.

Yeah, that's a big thing that we didn't talk about.

So if you are considering supplementation, again, you don't necessarily need it if you're getting it through your diet, but make sure third-party tested.

I would really focus on monohydrate based on the evidence-based research.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

Monohydrate has grass status.

Pure is from Germany.

It's the most scrutinized.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

It has less purities.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

That's an excellent form of creatine monohydrate.

Make sure it's pharmaceutical grade.

So all these things that you would do by putting something in your body, just do a little bit of homework.

FoundMyFitness

But if you're not seeing certified safe or third-party tested, that's something to be a little cautious.

FoundMyFitness

And the other thing is...

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

When you're buying a compound or ingredient with a whole bunch of ingredients in there, we don't know if the creatine is going to be effective or not in these pre-workouts, things like that.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

There's no reason to suggest not.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

But when I've been talking about creatine in our experimental studies, we're giving 100% pure creatine.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

We're not giving it with 10 or 12 other compounds that you got at a grocery store, things like that.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

But again, so there's a little bit more work that needs to be done if you're considering a multi-ingredient compound.

FoundMyFitness
#100 The Optimal Creatine Protocol for Strength, Brain, and Longevity | Darren Candow, PhD

Yeah.
