So poor quality creatine supplements have more adulterants that may cause some of those GI side effects.

Some of it can be due to high... You can saturate the creatine transporters.

It doesn't get absorbed.

Water gets drawn into the gut.

That can then cause diarrhea or something.

But some of the GI issues that people experience are probably due to poor quality products that they're taking.

So if you're just like long-term creating supplementation, probably not.

In this kind of setting, I think the evidence is for a loading style protocol, right?

So for most people, it might be 20 to 30 grams of creatine spread across the day.

if anybody's just taking creatine for other reasons, a standard dosing protocol I think is fine.

So some of the studies that use traditional creatine monohydrate and look at creatine levels in the brain, they did use a loading protocol for a week, and then you see significant increases in brain creatine.

But creatine having other effects on the brain, potentially improving mood, improving memory in older adults,

some of those benefits happen at just like a traditional creatine doses.

So you don't need to take massive doses, you know, think loading doses, you can actually see some benefits of like five to 10 grams.

So that's the creatine.

So magnesium, so 400 milligrams once or twice a day, there've been some trials that shown- What for?

Those studies actually use magnesium oxide, surprisingly.

But I would probably use magnesium glycinate.

It's very bioavailable.

Athletes usually need a bit more glycine anyway, but any bioavailable form will be fine.
