I appreciate the honest middle-ground perspective you give on this topic.

Most of the negative side effects of Creatine stem from to taking far too much. Sticking to a maintenance dose of 3g to 5g a day is highly unlikely to produce any adverse side effects. For example, water is very good for you but if you drink it in excess, it can result in water intoxication (hyponatremia)!

youre verry underrated for the amount of facts you spit im glad i discovered your channel yesterday

I had a Trumatic brain injury a couple years ago. And I was told not to take creatine because of the dehydration of the brain. Watching your video made me understand a little better what the neurologist and all the other doctors were talking about. Thank you very much I think your videos very informative and helpful.

I just love his presentation. Well educated body builder. Many thanks for your great video.

THANK YOU, very educational, thank you for talking about the risks as well as the benefits.

So as long as we keep the dosage around 5 grams per day then its safe for everyday use and there will not be a a bad sideefects ,right?

I really enjoy your videos thank you for spreading good knowledge!

This is very informative. I am a lacto-vegetarian and I would appreciate recommendations for protein, creatine and glutamine - natural sources as well as supplements.

Food is converted into Adenosine Triphosphate / a small molecule used in cells as a co-enzyme. Adenosine Diphosphate / designates the location of the phosphate and adenosine attachments. All those fantastic names. I feel proud i can pronouns them. Thank you Thomas for your nice work. Very educational.

I like taking advice from people that look like they know what they are talking about and you bro look like you do. Great Video man ..subbed

I read often that creatine is most researched substance. Yet we dont know crucial thing about it. Exellent video.

Great video. very informative.

the lack of long term studies is the reason I take a break from any supplement I take for at least two weeks whenever I run out and this video was a great reminder why i started doing so in the first place. it gets pretty easy to continue taking creatine, bcaa, etc. when its a morning/preworkout/postworkout habit.

Creapure is the best

it is fact that 20-30% are creatine non responders and unfortunately i am one of them. i took it for over a year and really didn´t notice much except my hair seemed to be thinner. i stopped a few months back and not have lost any strength at all, still gaining as i should, hair is looking fuller and have gained some vascularity. i would rather miss that one extra rep to look better.

Watches this while taking daily 5g creatine.👍🏻💪🏼 I've taken it for over 4 years 5g daily, and have regular kidney checks due to medication for epilepsy, zero adverse effect, full head of hair, hydration is key just drink enough fluids.

Uhh.. I don't really see him saying anything bad other than there's no long term research of the effects. Short term research has shown that your body kicks right back in with creatine production as soon as you stop supplementation. He mentioned dehydration but if you're taking creatine you need to be drinking a ton of water. Like a gallon a day give or take the amount/your body weight. Also more if you're consuming stims like coffee or preworkout as they're diuretics and dehydrate the body as well. Honestly most people who are hitting the gym or not, are not drinking enough water per day. Another tip is get yourself some creatine hcl, it allows for better absorption as most of creatine is just nuked as it hits your stomach acid. It's so bio-available that you can honestly take half what you would normally.

Same, I rethought about supplementing with Creatine after it was highlighted in my biology class when talking about cell respiration lol

I've heard about creatine over the last 20 years or so but only from a muscle building perspective. Only became interested late last year after reading an article about its actual workings and array of benefits including brain and organ function with small supplementation. Thought I would give it a try and it seems I respond really well to it. Went to see my relies at Christmas and they didn't comment on how skinny I look for once. This stuff makes me look like I have been working out even when I haven't and within a couple of days I feel I want to start working out any way because I have surplus energy to use. Got a couple more kg on order which was cheap as and should last for a while.

Tks for the tips man!

Thanks for another good video!

Great video man keep it up

What brand can you suggest us to buy? I want something clean with an high quality.

I always love his video because he explains with scientific knowledge

Hey man! Love your videos. My concern is whether creatine is wise on a keto diet, as there’s no glycogen in the muscles.

New subscriber here. Got into your videos because I started intermittent fasting. I was wondering if taking creatine in the morning would break my fast? Thanks for all the vids! Keep up the great work. It's much appreciated

What would be your take to breaking a fast after a workout with a protein shake with creatine?

A few months ago I was curious about creatine and its affects and if it would help me in my everyday weight and aerobic workouts. I'm 73, excellent health and labs and wanted to throw a bit more resistant weight around. My primary physician said..."No way should you take the stuff (creatine). It WILL damage your organs." I said okay, what can I take safely and she said a protein supplement in moderation will help you without risk of damage internally. 'Nuff said. .02

Thank you for these videos. They are informative and interesting. So nice to have real facts instead of "bros"

Honest and thorough story

Informative and concise love your videos...I used creatine during the time that I was studying A and P it helped tremendously...noticed better cognitive ability...

Then what to replace for the kind of energy burst creatin gives?

I experienced severe pain in my spine, low back, and with simple activity it felt like I strained several muscle groups with easy activity last Sunday.The only other thing I tried was Bragg's nutritional yeast. I stopped both in between. I only found two returns that had negatives but they covered the entire age range. Please respond with your conjecture and some more symptom sites to compare. The first time I used it years earlier I had no response. Vitamin Shoppe brands. Thanks

First night after creatine loading I barely require any sleep. I can wake up at 2am fully rested. There studies that show no cognitive decline in sleep deprived group. As for strength and size I do not respond to creatine supplementation at all

Tom great videos.... I love the science behind the health facts you demonstrate. Do you have any health evidence on fine corn? This is a main ingredient to make porridge in the Caribbean and over here in the UK. I'm struggling to find any health benefits on this, so I'm not sure whether its genetically engineered for our bodies or inline with nature. Any evidence would be appreciated. Seb.

Glad to have your balanced reports. I am curious to know your thoughts: about 3 years ago I searched hard to unearth any info I could about benefits vs. problems with creatine. Ultimately I discovered one study by a sports science researcher that determined in a longer random exam using performance athletes, that for athletic purposes there are noticeable improvements. Forgive me as I can't recall the author or the institution (my memory recall is U of Virginia, Dr. John ? and I found it cited through the Mayo Clinic website?) but the result is that he advised this to be the only medically recognisable legal supplement on the market with identifiable anabolic benefits. Is this credible info? Keep up the great work. Cheers.

Cheerz Thomas!! Would be sick if u could do a vid on Ethyl Ester vs Monohydrate

awesome vid as always :D

What is the best creatine to take? I take C4 and it's with creatine nitrate. Correct me if I'm wrong. But that's for a extra pump and there a lot more stuff in it. And monohydrate is for strength. So should I take pure crea mono or stay with C4 or no explode??

Maximize glucolisis; electron transport chain is said to produce more ATP that say the krebs/citrate cycle. But Dr Lee has a great theory on the transfer process into the mitochondria.

How does it affect while your doing ketogenic diet?

Very well presented video.

Videos are awesome. Lmao at the little clips in between.

Great videos and great content

So Tommy which is more important, creatine or glutamine?

very informative thanks

I know the risk training at 4 years and I always took whey and bcaa, when i started taking creatine i started whey with creatine and i was feeling fine i ended that whey with creatine and i started taking a normal whey and creatine pack as i took it in the spoon 5g I started to feel bad when the package was over, mainly a dizziness symptom and lack sensitivity

Epic. Thank You.

Works great! Especially to make your prostate swell up First hand knowledge

Hey Thomas, really informative stuff. Glad i found your channel. There's one thing that i don't like about creatine is the muscle water retention. It gives you this false idea of you being buffer. I used to take creatine(just about 3-5 gms a day in case you wondered) and my weight increased. I thought i was gaining muscle, but only during the cutting period i realised that almost 30% of my gains came from muscle water retention. I think creatine is awesome, but honestly i dont want that false feeling accomplishment of achieving your goal.

Hi, Im doing Intermittent Fasting, 16:8, fasted between 10pm and 2pm. Im training in the gym fasted in the morning. At what time you recomend to take creatine? As if i drink creatine in my fasted windows will brake it.

Just want to say the picture for this video is ridiculous lol thanks for all your help and knowledge.

I understood that I'f I seen all your videos I can easily become a scientist. Great videos !!!!

Hey TD hears a conundrum that in my life My Dr is worried that my body is producing an abundance of Creatine and thinks I am having renal failure ...I don't work out but am starting to exercise....will this abundance be utilized ?

Is their a trusted online source we can look up whether or not creatine is safe .

i was taking Creatine (3-5 g a day while drinking a gallon of water a day) for about month and i started noticing i was having extremely bad headaches. i got my blood tested and then stopped taking the supplement. when i got the results back my liver enzyme came back high. after a couple days of stopping supplementing Creatine my headaches went away. and a week and a half later i got my liver tested again and it was back to normal. i have no problem with Creatine and my friends get amazing results from the supplement. some people react much differently and i would recommend people are safe when they take this and get your blood tested.

Omg I can't believe I discovered this stuff it works so well. Why the hell would anyone not want to take this stuff hit feels like you got constant physical and mental energy and you will never run out 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍I'm taking it till I die.

I experimented after reading a book about nutrient timing, and I started doing bodybuilding type exercises. I now mix 5g of creatine with a sport drink with 140 calories of sugar, and drink this right before, during, and immediately following the workout. I then immediately switch to some protein, slow-burning carbs, and no more sugar or creatine.What it seems to do for me, be it real or. placebo effect, is I recover much more quickly between sets, and can usually squeeze out a couple more reps given the same exercises using a given weight. I do not creatine load, as just use it while I am actually lifting. It seems to cut my workout time by about 1/3. I don't do this during abs and aerobics day. On my days off I don't take a sports drink or creatine. I only use it for a few more reps and a speedier recovery time between sets while I am using it.

There have also been a few studies on creating use to regulate blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetics.

The longest study on creatine was for Huntington's disease and it went on for a long while. They thought it may be possible that it could help with the onset of the disease but not truly enough to make a big difference.

So which one would be the best mono?

It works. It's safe. We already naturally produce it. This replaces it faster than we can after we train. I benefit loads from it. Often find those extra reps, even that extra set.

I think the best would be using the best quality available and time to time discontinue consuming it so your body doesn't forgets to manufacture it.

He's referring to creatine. Creatine is creatine.

Today i bought and tried some creatine mono after the first time i tried it months ago when i felt most skeptical, i saw my muscles were more responsive as if they were missing a gear before plus a boost in energy all day even after a large meal which is normally not the case so this is making me see good things so far for creatine! it is effective within this message and science.

Hi Thomas..is Creatine safe to take while you are in Keto? Or will it ruin and kick you out of Keto? Thanks.

What if any Creatine product do you recommend to purchase ?

Hey Thomas wen u say that creatine drops our water level or we get dehydrated faster is that dangerous???

Is it ok for first week to take 5 g before and 5g after workout, and after to keep 5g 2 weeks and then pause week or 2?

of course it is, its not caloric

How much creatine do you ESTIMATE would an average person get from their diet? Lets say organic grassfed fed beef three times a week wild caught salmon once a week? Or better yet how much do you estimate you get from your diet without supplementation?

the information is good but its not provided in a way that people can use. like an IF meal plan that people can just adjust for their calories portion wise.

Thanks for being honest

Creatine monohydrate makes me itchy. I have been doing it for 20 years but had to finally give it up. Too bad. I enjoyed the results, but the itching never stopped.

Wait...I may not know much about creatine monohydrate but I thought our bodies consumes much less than 20g's. Even during the loading phase. Doesn't the excess amount turn into a byproduct called creatinine?

Does creatine monohydrate make me gain weight, if consuming daily without excecise?

Good evening sir, how to use creatine sir
