So you look at it and go, OK, so we're making it from a gram from essential amino acids. Then we need to get another gram or two from diet. OK, where do we get it from? We get it from meat. We get it from fish. But cooking really takes a lot. Like you really lowers the content.

So you either have to eat barely cooked, you know, sashimi, carpaccio, that kind of stuff, meat, about a pound of it a day or two pounds of the other. no woman ever is eating that. So they're not getting it. And then you have most people doing plant-based, so they're definitely not getting it. And they're probably not getting the essential amino acids and the amounts they need either.

Right.

Right.

So they're deficient. So this is a huge problem. So women tend to be deficient in it anyway, right? What's it going to help us do? Well, creatine helps us create energy, right? It's going to help with our ATP creation because creatine goes to creatine phosphate. It's our quick, fast energy.

It's really important for the brain and it's really important for working out harder, recovering better, building more muscle, building more bone. It's important for your immune system. They're now looking at it for long COVID, by the way, and they did research with it for postmenopausal women on antidepressants.

They're now looking at it for long COVID, by the way, and they did research with it for postmenopausal women on antidepressants.

They found women on antidepressants who took creatine had way better results than people who just took antidepressant alone. So neurocognitive, TBIs, there's so many different applications, basically anything around brain, around inflammation, around muscle protein synthesis, around immune skin, skin wrinkling. So you look at it and go, these are all like energy.

It's all what happens as you start to go into perimenopause and we're deficient in it. Then here's the situation with creatine that I think is so crazy. First of all, there's a bunch of myths out there about creatine, like hair loss.

That's like that stupid, like soccer guys where their DHT was raised, but they don't even know why because they didn't check to see if they were on like anything else, you know? And then They didn't even track that their hair went down, but there's hair loss. There's no hair loss. It's never been shown.

I will tell you, and I don't have the study published yet, but there is a study coming out that I have been told about that shows that 76% of women who go on creatine monohydrate will struggle with fluid retention or gas and bloating.

Here's the reality. Here's the crazy thing. So I said that you needed probably a gram of creatine a day. By the way, you take extra if you have sleep deprivation, jet lag. It's amazing if you're under more stress. But when you look at creatine monohydrate, the recommendations are three to five grams a day.
