And you'll hear that it's all absorbed. Well, it's not all absorbed. Because if it was all absorbed, you wouldn't need three to five grams a day. You'd need a gram. Turns out it's about 15% absorbed. And that's why you're getting some of the GI issues, the fluid retention, but you'll always hear to use creatine monohydrate because it's the most studied form. It doesn't matter.

We're not looking at the form. We're looking at the effect that creatine has on your body. And so a year ago, I was doing a talk for a medical conference. And afterwards, this creatine formulator came up to me. And started to show me, he goes, you know, there's a better creatine out there that doesn't cause all this stuff. And I thought this is, you know, we should take creatine monohydrate.

I was like the parrot. You should take creatine monohydrate. All the studies are on there because it's like what I heard out there. And then I looked at all the research and looked at the difference in when it isn't 100% absorbed. In fact, nothing is 100% absorbed. No. So anyone who says that is off their rocker anyway. Right.

It turns out that the form that he created, because he came from toxicology and he wanted to solve the problem because he was working, he was actually drug testing athletes. Wow. And so, you know, he was hearing from athletes, oh, I really want like to be able to use this and this is happening. And so he created creatine HCL. It's 99% absorbed.

So you only need like 750 milligrams to get to where you need to be versus the five grams of creatine monohydrate. So what's cool about it is you don't get the bloating and you don't get the GI stuff that you'll get from regular creatine. So a lot of the stuff that women freak out about isn't going to happen.

And you might, if you are fortunate enough to get any, any fluid into your muscles, like I go game winner, you know, wish that would happen. Didn't happen to me, but we actually want that. That's a great thing, you know, and if you're doing bioimpedance testing, you'll see that as total body water and that's fantastic.

Right.

Right.

But creatine, I think every woman, I think every woman period should be on it. Now, the other cool thing about creatine HCL as opposed to monohydrate And some people feel fine on monohydrate. It's like, great, use five grams of it. It's fine. But I just, when I started pushing it out into the world, I got so much kickback from people saying, I tried that, I gained weight.

And I was like, okay, no woman ever is going to take something if they gain weight. It's just the reality of it. But it also crosses the blood-brain barrier. So that's a huge thing. In fact, when I learned about this, I turned another friend on to it who's doing a bunch of neurodegenerative disease research so that she could use it in her studies. So I am super fired up about the HCL version.

And I gave you some, didn't I? No. The one I created? No, I need them. Oh my gosh. Yeah. Give me your address and I'll send it to you. So when I learned all this stuff, I went, all right, what could we do to make this work even better? And if you look at like, there's research out there showing that creatine and magnesium together work better than either one on its own.
