Literally everybody should take creatine.
Yeah, we have.
You go to the gym, you should take creatine.
And even if you don't go. Yeah, we have a don't go.
There's benefits. Yeah, but you should go.
I mean. Yeah, yeah, exactly, you should go.
It's the most studied and most effective supplement you can take for bodybuilding. And more and more information coming out on brain health and different things like that.
So the same way I did the research about creating it and I was like shocked how many good results you can have with creatine. You won't find one reason or one type of people that should not take creatine. Only maybe if you have, I don't know, kidney damage, let's say otherwise there's like no reason to not take it.
But still, people have misconceptions. For instance, I was in a hotel last night and the guy, you know, started asking me about training and this and that and what to take. I say protein and creatine to start with, and then you can move on to other things with all the basics, you know, it's like, ah, But I do not take creatine because I heard it can damage your liver. I don't know where you heard that, but it's not correct. Like you have an existing kidney disease. You can't even, even eat a lot of protein and so on.
Yeah.
So in that case, yeah, a lot of things are not good, but it wouldn't create the problem. If you have this problem, then there's certain things you have to avoid. But it's been around so long and so many studies done, it's, it's just a great supplement.
