Been adding creatine to my morning coffee since it disolves better and easier on my stomach. When I used to add it to my protein shake it wouldn't disolve that good and would be gritty when drinking it. It also would mess with my stomach a little.
I’ve been seeing greater results with creatine HCL from kaged. One scoop pre workout. And one scoop during/post workout. Stay hydrated! Also, I wonder what the benefits of taking saw palmetto (to keep DHT in check) along with creatine.
The older I get, the more fit I get and the more I train the more I realize that bro science was right. Meatheads are not really a thing, the sheer holy hell amount of discipline and knowledge needed to be an athlete is bonkers. Mad respect.
It’s not metabolized like say caffeine where you get the effect right after ingestion. It’s at the cellular level so it has to be consumed daily to get the cells to the level where effects are realized. So it doesn’t work like ‘pre’ to give you the boost or effects right away its built up until it saturates the muscle cells and you keep taking it to keep them at that level once they reach saturation.
Would you use half the dose for a child for brain health? I see the recommended dose being 10grams for a whole body perspective. Would a teenager then use 5grams? (50kg 13years old)
A month after I started supplementing with 5 to 8 grams of creatine a day I felt no need for caffeine anymore in my diet.I cut the caffeine to about 1/4 right away and soon stopped consuming caffeine completely. I'm 66 years old carnivore and I work two full-time jobs, one of which is working in a lumber yard. I'm definitely going to up my dosage to a minimum of 10 G a day consistently.
I am skeptical of some of these so-called research results. Many clinical studies lack demographic diversity. Please provide a link to any studies that were passively referenced in this video.
Took the body type quiz three different times changing the body type each time, just out of curiosity... All remedies were the same. Low carb + carb cycling + HIIT.

I personally like HCL The Mono doesn’t dissolve unless you put it in hot water and it seems to make me nauseous similar to Beta-Alinine. The HCL mixes well
This is music to my ears, as a person who suffers from an autoimmune neuromuscular disease, and two myopathies from necessary long-term prednisone (steroid) treatment. I've already ordered and received my creatine, but I chicken out trying it everyday. 😔 Even though I'm female, I've read about creatine used in muscle disease and they didn't mention it not working for females in any of the articles or studies. I cannot wait to put it in my whey protein isolate shake this evening! I realize it can't hurt anything for me to try this. I just pray it will help, eventually. 😊
Monohydrate made my face/eyes bloat...5g, scaled back to a lower dose, same...more water, same. Switched to HCI and no issues. It's hard to find out how HCI compares to monohydrate?
Do you consume a lot of salt? What does your diet look like. I actually get similiar affect to what you’re taking about usually when my diet is pretty bad, not enough water, High dose, lack of movement etc.
Creatine causes hypertension!!! Reported side effects are dizziness because of the high blood pressure that it causes. Anxiety because of the high blood pressure. Can’t sleep cos of the high blood pressure. Headaches because of the high blood pressure. Heart palpitations again due to high blood pressure! It is dangerous stuff. This is the link with the kidneys which has always been a concern. Because the kidneys regulate blood pressure and creatine causes them to Malfunction by overloading them and impairs the function of the Baroreceptors that are on the kidneys which regulate blood pressure. It’s a dangerous supplement and nobody talks about this. I wonder WHY?
My blood pressure has gone down since taking creatine. But I have made a few other dietary and exercise changes. Also lost 10 kg with intermittent fasting and cut back on carbs. If you are going to make claims like that you need to provide the research evidence.
Another great thing to do while taking creatine is to take quality magnesium supplement like threonate, gluconate or citrate. It works synergistically with creatine
@phoenixrisin2269 the optimal level of potassium is easy to get from fruits and vegetables. On the otherhand, the RDA for magnesium is 400mg for men and 350mg for women. Unfortunately, lots of people fall short of these daily doses because it isn't so easy to get that level of magnesium from food sources these days. In case you're skeptical of that claim, try counting your milligrams of magnesium everyday for a week. One of the reasons it's extremely important to optimize your magnesium while taking creatine is that creatine uses magnesium for ATP production. I think that alot of these people who claim to be "creatine non-responders" are actually deficient in magnesium.
I had a serious attack of chronic fatigue sitting around in the house most of the time after surgery for several months, and medical tech at my clinic had me load up on vitamin D and bam, just stopped.

Fantastic video, amazed with the dose … I was taking 2g then 5g, after watching the video I will pump more. I am also enjoying a lot Rhodiola Rosea after learning from it with Huberman podcast. Game changer
Is it necessary to take breaks when taking creatine? I do not eat red meat at all, not because I am vegan, but it just happens so. Creatine might be necessary for me, it really increased my performance at the gym. But the instructions say to take breaks, not consume it all the time. What will you recommend?
Thomas on your video like about 2 weeks ago you said completely different things about how much creatine you take and today you’re saying something different. Which one is correct? 2500 mg couple of times a week or what you said today?
I'm afraid of cramping. I've had some god awful cramps while I was taking creatine. I mean "Here's my PIN number" pain. Now I will say that I still had cramps after I stoped taking creatine but just not as intense. And, I think I have that under control now with my electrolyte supplements in the AM and PM (Magnesium is the best!) I'm a 67 year old male. Lift 5 days a week and train cardio 3 days a week. I've lost 80lbs over the last year and a half by IF and a healthy keto diet.
(15:20) So, wouldn't this "creatine deficiency", and an improvement in mental illnesses via the consumption of creatine, indicate that we as a society are not eating enough creatine-containing foods such as meat and other animal products?...
Should be noted that taking creatine will absolutely affect your creatinine levels when getting blood work done. Might want to take a break from it before you are scheduled to get any tests done.
What's wrong with that?? Wouldn't you tell your doctor you are taking creatine? Doctor should be informed of what you're doing to yourself. I don't see why you wouldn't want the creatine to affect your creatine levels during a blood test. If you don't, why take it in the first place?!
@@joaquincortada1483 I was addressed with a silly reply after posting genuine info. I responded accordingly. Not sure what contribution you're making...
Can you talk to which type of creatine is best as far as being bioavailable, etc. goes? I've seen some say that there are better versions than monohydrate.
Great info! Question though...if I take creatine on an empty stomach for exercise first thing in the morning and immediately after the workout as a post workout supplement is all ok?
My son is a type 1 diabetic and is very active outdoors with disc golf and soccer. Would there be any negative side effects for him at 14 to begin taking creatine?
If vegetarians don't get any from their diet does it make an omnivore diet superior? I would say yes, except the omnivore diet only includes 1-2g of creatine, which is not enough to make a difference unless in strength or cognitive effect. Unless you are supplementing, and once you supplement both diets are in the same camp.
I knew creatine immediately before my workout had a distinct effect! Only caffeine and magnesium have had such an immediately remarkable effect for me. All sorts of other stuff has been rather "iffy," with some substances seeming to help long-term. I take taurine and citrulline on faith, but I can't say I notice the difference. Same for carnitine.
Had found creatine and tried to help me stop loosing muscle and it gave me a headache. Only used a tiny bit of the powder as often react to meds or supps. Tried several times with hwater as wondered if was dehydrated. (Was Creatine monohydrate I think, in a grey jar),
Great video, excellent topic and expert to discuss them. Just started using creatine lately and I believe it provides a noticeable difference aesthetically and power wise during work out. I'm doing one teaspoon a day with my protein shake and if on work out day, take it post work out. Might try pre-workout with water one time to see if it makes a difference.
I have not heard of it increasing blood pressure. It does increase water in the body, but not in the way that salt does as the water weight added due to creatine is in the tissues and not the blood. So I think based on what I have heard from experts, including those who have addressed side effects.
The K/Mg amounts for the Element electrolyte powder are laughable compared to Na. We are surrounded by table salt yet K/Mg are scarce… same as they are in this mix. So why would you spend this much for something that doesn’t help?
The really big thing at big box stores like Costco is organic protein from many seed types, rice, peas, etc, and not whey. You need to talk about that difference if any.
@@phoenixrisin2269 Sure. Maybe. This is competitor disinformation most likely. We are designed to eat nuts and plants and therefore it is more likely it is readily absorbed and used.
This just makes me wonder whether humans were just meant to eat raw meat. The more you cook meat, the more you denature the nutrients (& enzymes), including creatine. Vitamin B1 is almost 100% destroyed when cooked, there’s studies on it. Vitamin B1 just so happens to be one of the most prevalent deficiencies too 🤔

Do high doses have any effect on cardiovascular health/ irregular heart beats?
Excellent discussion
I totally agree with using it , great to see the new expanded dose / body weight range
Been adding creatine to my morning coffee since it disolves better and easier on my stomach. When I used to add it to my protein shake it wouldn't disolve that good and would be gritty when drinking it. It also would mess with my stomach a little.
They say it is not good with caffeine it negates it...
I’ve been seeing greater results with creatine HCL from kaged. One scoop pre workout. And one scoop during/post workout. Stay hydrated! Also, I wonder what the benefits of taking saw palmetto (to keep DHT in check) along with creatine.
Thanks for bringing in experts and discussing the science. I really appreciate these style of videos. 🤙
Helpful information!

outstanding video!! Thank you Thomas!!
Thanks dudes for useful information.... Better consumed before or after exercise?
I would guess before because they spoke about how it affects exercise endurance and energy. I want to know how soon before exercising.
It’s not metabolized like say caffeine where you get the effect right after ingestion.
It’s at the cellular level so it has to be consumed daily to get the cells to the level where effects are realized.
So it doesn’t work like ‘pre’ to give you the boost or effects right away its built up until it saturates the muscle cells and you keep taking it to keep them at that level once they reach saturation.
