Because of the increased ATP, you also have this hyper hydrating effect. You have this cell volumizing effect where the cells actually bring in more water. OK, so one of the other effects of creatine is you'll gain and this is where people freak out. You'll gain probably between one to four pounds on the scale, depending on how much muscle mass you carry on your body.

Now, a lot of people are like, oh, I don't want to gain weight. No, no, no. It's lean body mass. It's intracellular fluid. It is not bloat. Bloat is fluid under the skin. It's the puffiness that you get. The increased hydration you get from creatine is in the cells, meaning you might be a pound to four pounds heavier on the scale, but your muscles are firmer. tighter, rounder skin, more hydrated.

By the way, creatine also improves the collagen matrices in the skin, also hydrates the skin. It's good for the liver. It's good for the heart. It's good for your bones. It helps with osteopenia. It's this incredible supplement that is the best wellness slash performance enhancing slash fat burning supplement. Now let me pause right there for a second before everybody gets excited.

There is no profound, crazy fat-burning supplement. There's nothing you're going to take that's going to just make fat melt off your body that doesn't exist. But through the muscle-building effect of creatine, because of the cell-volumizing effect, the increased ATP, you will see what's known as muscle protein synthesis spike increase. more on creatine than you will off creatine.

Protein synthesis, the building of muscle, let's say. It's other tissues that can do this, but muscle in the context of this conversation. So you'll build more muscle. You'll build it a little faster and you'll be a little stronger, which means you'll get that positive metabolic boost that we talked about earlier in this episode faster or more effectively. Does that contribute to better fat loss?

You better believe it. So you will get a faster metabolism better or more effectively by supplementing with creatine. Creatine is one of the only supplements that I tell everybody to take, especially if you're older, especially if you're older. Cognitive benefits alone. Even if you don't strength train, you don't work out, take creatine. It's definitely good for you.

And then I remember when it first came out, by the way, in the early 90s, it was the fears of Is it going to stress the kidneys because it gets filtered? No. There's been so many studies on this. It causes no issues to kidneys, just like a high-protein diet causes no issues to kidneys. There are cases where you shouldn't supplement with creatine, but you know if that's you.

You have a nephrologist, you have kidney disease or something like that, and your doctor says don't supplement with pretty much anything. Don't supplement with creatine. But if you're otherwise healthy... you should probably, you definitely take creatine, even if your goal isn't fat loss and muscle gain, it's just good for you.
