Sometimes it doesn't.

The antioxidant thing is so embedded now.
voice-verified
Some things become permanent.
voice-verified
They just become a permanent addition to the culture and the health halo thing that never goes away.
voice-verified
I think antioxidants are here to stay, even though I think there's no evidence that there's any benefit to supplementing them.
voice-verified
So be cautious with the creatine thing.
voice-verified
Again, don't spend a lot of money on it would be my advice.
voice-verified
I'm not saying there's no benefit.
voice-verified
There may be some benefit, but the evidence is preliminary, low confidence.
voice-verified
These things don't have a good history.
voice-verified
I will say one other signal.
voice-verified
There's another study I looked at that wasn't in the systematic review that showed that it may have a benefit for people who are sleep-deprived.
voice-verified
So that's a little bit more plausible because if you're sleep deprived or under a lot of stress, then things like this could make a difference at the edges.

voice-verified
I don't think it's going to affect normal healthy functioning of your brain, but it may help with these kinds of situations.
voice-verified
But again...
voice-verified
We need more research to tell, but that is at least somewhat more plausible.
voice-verified
And it wouldn't surprise me, right?
voice-verified
It wouldn't surprise me.
voice-verified
Oh, yeah, there's a little bit of a benefit if you take a high dose right when you're sleep deprived.
