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.

So creatine isn't just the bodybuilding set.

There's so many different health benefits and it keeps coming out with more and more research to show how beneficial creatine is.

I know, but it's not a protein as we think about it.

Like you'll see all these collagen protein.

It doesn't count as dietary protein for muscle development.

It depends on what you're looking for.

Yeah, exactly.

And Mike Ornsby out of University of Southern Florida, he has been doing quite a bit of research on collagen and joint pain and found that there is some efficacy in taking the type 2 collagen to reduce joint pain.
