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

One gram doesn't seem to get in the blood as rapidly as we need.

So that's something for your viewers if they're micro dosing, no less than one gram.

But you can split it up two and a half grams, five grams, whichever you want.

I take a lot more than that based on our new clinical data.

I'm 48 years of age.

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

I know the effects of aging from a bone and brain perspective.

But really, all this dosing came from muscle.

And we have all these new areas.

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

That's why I think the emergence of new dosing strategies has really come to light.

Because five is the average global recommendation.

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

And that's a fantastic dose overall, we think, to start, especially from a muscle perspective.

So it'll take you 21 days to fully saturate your skeletal muscles.

So after that, you're going to have some being excreted in your urine, or let's pray here, hopefully some is now being uptaken into your bone because the muscle is pulling on bone.

Your bone is a very metabolically active tissue, which no one actually sees in the mirror.

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

And then hopefully some is trickling more into your brain.

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

So the thought is, okay, five grams is very viable.

Easily 21 days, your muscles will be full.

Taking five grams a day thereafter, some would probably go in the form of creatinine, but

But hopefully, and we don't know this, maybe some is going into your bone, being used by your immune system, your GI tract, your gut health, and your brain.

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

So five is a great dose.
