whether it's depression, anxiety.

And part of the reason, at least I'm beginning to see evidence that part of the reason is this ability to generate energy in the brain.

And these are very broad strokes.

I realize that I'm not giving you the mechanism, right?

So I do think that the brain is very complicated.

But if we know that women seem to have lower

levels of creatine in the brain and that they are very responsive to creatine and it improves mood and memory that's extraordinary yeah that's amazing so also if someone were to take it with say an ssri or something that they are doing already for their mood and brain function might begin to see synergistic effects so it's helping muscle retention yeah

It helps with glycogen storage.

If say an individual was struggling with performance, there seems to be some evidence that it actually helps with storing those carbohydrates in skeletal muscle.

I believe that it is probably going to be proven to be one of the most useful supplements for midlife.

And when I say midlife, I am talking about... So midlife, I guess, would be what?

40?

Individuals should start before then.

What age should they start?

I mean...

From a health muscle span perspective, I would say as early as they're willing to.

I mean, when I was 18, I was taking supplements.

I don't know if you were taking supplements.

I wasn't.

I wish I was.
