My experience with creatine (started ~3 weeks ago) is that I do feel noticeably better in general. I feel less tired. Strength and recovery: I dunno. My recovery of starting heavy deadlifts took about a week (I'm 40) and that wasn't short, usually my recovery takes 3 days or so. More strength? Maybe yes, I do Bodypump and the exercises are easier.

From what I heard: The big problem with cheap multivitamins like Centrum is while those nutrients are technically in the pill, they do not distribute/ absorb in the body.

Agreed, but also the form of the vitamins matters, there is a huge difference between the methyl folate in AG1 and the Folic Acid in Centrum

May i add.... it is also very important to be careful what you take when you have an underlying medical condition, i have Rheumatoid arthritis and, i am now back at the gym after a long slog to get my condition under control and decided to start creatin, not only did i get "NO" benefit from taking creatin , it also made my condition worse.... along with taking cod liver oil. It sounds bizarre i know you would think cod liver oil would be beneficial for a joint condition... but it actually makes the condition worse. So it is a true fact to say get medical advice first before taking any supplement, especially if you have a medical condition and taking medications.

Thanks for the info, what is your opinion on L-Carnitine, is it a scam?

The more I investigate 'Studies' supporting a narrative, the more I find out that we don't know that much definitively.

When I first started taking creatine, I didn't really think it made a difference, but continued using it for about 4 years. I stooped about 6 months ago and pretty quickly found I lst 1-2 reps per set atnthe same weights. I restarted a month ago and gained back those couple reps. I'm sure it worked the first time, I just wasn't really tuned in to what to look for.

Wow amazing, I’m just wondering why there isn’t enough studies for protein powder , such that it is much important than all the mentioned and most used , regardless of it has been established more than 40 years , so we want a video please the cons and pros of protein powder

Very helpful👍

AG1 = Multivitamin. The placebo effect will make some people feel better after reading -->''it's good for you'' on the label, but it's nothing more than an expensive multivitamin. Is it good for you if you don't supplement anything and eat healthy/varied probably, is it an really expensive multivitamin option --> YES.

I'm picky about veggies myself so AG1 is a great way for me to get mine. I wouldn't get them otherwise by and large. Also it actually does tastes decent.

7:49 not to mention that antioxidants have been shown not to work in supplement form, leading to the theory that it's not antioxidants themselves that provides the benefits, but something else.

Clickbait. Very disappointing.

Creatine really works for me. I haven't taken in consistently due to the hair loss claims, but I've taken it for a few weeks and around week 4 of 3-5g/day, I 100% look so much fuller, more energy during my workouts, and feel less tired throughout the day. When I stop taking it, it takes around 3-4 weeks to fully leave the body, but I lose that pumped look. I'll wake up and my arms are really vascular while on it. It's funny because the only time I've gotten compliments on my arms is when I've taken creatine. When I stop, I think they lose about .5-1" in size. I do notice it messes with my sleep though. I'm been off it for 3-4 weeks now and have been able to sleep through the night without waking up. When I'm taking it, I'll wake up around 2-3am and cannot fall back asleep. I'll toss and turn until I have to get up. I don't know if I want to take it anymore and I'm prone to hair loss and don't know for certain if it could speed the process up.
