It's very much stress resilient.
Because if we can't afford to keep you healthy, then we definitely can't afford to grow a baby and keep you healthy.
Going on detox wellness retreats?
Yeah, that's the old school thought.
When we're thinking about creatine and how it got its chops in the supplement world, we're looking at muscle performance.
And taking five grams four times a day with some carbohydrate to enhance muscle performance is how it started.
But when you start really disseminating down into the health aspects of creatine, creatine is used in every fast energetic of the body.
So that means your brain, your heart, your gut, muscle, everything that requires energy from zero to 30 seconds, creatine is involved.
Women have about 70, 80% of the stores of men.
And when we start looking at all the different types of diets that are out there, lots of exclusionary food diets, then the intake of creatine is lower.
What we're finding in the research from health perspective is that it does so many positive things when you're able to saturate the tissues to bring it up with even a small dose of three to five grams a day.
Our liver makes about three, but we don't necessarily eat enough to help
supplement all of the tissue how much would it take like 12 chicken breasts or something 22 okay 22 chicken breasts a lot so when we look at the supplementation and being able to saturate all of our tissues thoroughly to support those fast energetics we see things like better cognition focus we see a faster recovery from small brain traumatic like like
A friend's daughter hit her head on the laundry door of the dryer and got a TBI or a small concussion from that, started using creatine, came out of it a lot faster.
I mean, there are things that help with brain metasm.
We see women who have incidences with IBS or gut issues, and they're using creatine.
It helps decrease the symptomology.
We're seeing now studies coming out about fatigue, and this is where the 0.38 grams per kilogram of body weight or...
The equivalent of 20 grams if you're 60 kilos helps with fatigue and focus, especially if you're under a lot of high stress.
Because if you're under a lot of high stress, your body's going through a lot of blood glucose trying to keep up with that stress.
