JJ Virgin explores why most creatine comes from China and why 76% of users experience bloating. A new formulation claims 99% absorption versus the typical 15%, letting you take one-seventh the standard dose without side effects.
So what's interesting is all creatine is made in China except for one company that's in Germany, but there's no US-made except for this company. This formulator created a company in Nebraska, and he came from the world of toxicology, and he was actually studying doping in sports. And so he had all these athletes who now couldn't use what they were using because he was drug testing them, and they were like, solve the problem. So he'd heard about all the side effects from creatine. In fact, there's There's a study coming out that's gonna show that 76% of people who take creatine get gas and bloating and issues, creatine monohydrate.
He said, so I— That was me, by the way, during bodybuilding, I didn't even take on creatine.
'Cause of the bloating. Yeah. Now, if you went through the process, it would subside, but no one will. Like I was going, well, maybe a guy would, but women won't do that. Yeah. You know, women start to gain weight, we're like, I'm out, I'm outta there. So he's telling me all this. And I start— first I try it on myself, then I start having other people test it. I'm not getting any negative, it's all positive, and they can use a fraction of the dose, a seventh of the dose, because 99% is absorbed as opposed to 15%.
