So a comparative dose of five grams of monohydrate might equal out to two to three grams of hydrochloride.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Your body ultimately reaches a capacity for creatine storage. If you want to get there faster, you load. It's five grams, four to five times a day. A total dose of 20 to 25 grams in a day. Some people are going to find that that's a little bit of an overload for them on their gut. There is a byproduct of creatine breakdown. Creatinine is what it's called.

We get it measured whenever we get our blood test done. that can sometimes pull along with it some extra water, and that can make you feel a little gut discomfort from that. Again, at lower dosages, if you're using hydrochloride, you wouldn't see that breakdown as much. You wouldn't get as much of that accumulated breakdown of creatinine, so you might get less of that bloating. That's the only...

indication why i would ever suggest hydrochloride is if you are some of that 15 of people that have some sensitivity to that and a lot of times getting around the loading phase and not doing it would bypass some of that discomfort that you feel that gut discomfort that you feel from taking it so what happens if you don't load you just ultimately get to the same capacity at a slower pace so anywhere from 27 to 35 days or so you're going to reach that full capacity anyway

If you're taking it because you want to see benefits in performance, like power output and performance, let's say, leading up to an event that's a competition in four or five days, then you might want to load because you have to kind of get to those full capacities sooner.

But I don't really see a need to have to load if, again, in the long run, you take away any of those risks, those gut risks, and then you get to that ultimate level anyway.

Are there any particular proteins that are better than others? I mean, I like to say since that's mine, that's better. But the fact is that... Anything you can do to prioritize the quality of the protein. So in general, your isolate proteins are going to be of a higher quality than your concentrate proteins. They're still protein, but there's more on a gram per gram basis.

It's 90% versus 80% by volume if it's isolate versus concentrate. So you're getting more protein per volume. But they're not all as advertised, right? Are they? No. I mean, look, I don't ever want to disparage other brands or, you know, I'm not in the practice of doing that, but like there are some garbage quality proteins out there that are on the shelves of oftentimes like the biggest retailers.

You know, they don't They're in it to make money. They're not in it to provide high quality. And again, you're still getting protein, but by the time your body absorbs what's in there, it's netting out to less than what it could be. How do I spot garbage? I think the best way to spot garbage would be to like, there's something called amino acid spiking.
