And I think in today's society, we could all use a little bit of help.
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.
Monohydrate has grass status.
Pure is from Germany.
It's the most scrutinized.
It has less purities.
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.
But if you're not seeing certified safe or third-party tested, that's something to be a little cautious.
And the other thing is...
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.
There's no reason to suggest not.
But when I've been talking about creatine in our experimental studies, we're giving 100% pure creatine.
We're not giving it with 10 or 12 other compounds that you got at a grocery store, things like that.
But again, so there's a little bit more work that needs to be done if you're considering a multi-ingredient compound.
Yeah.
