“There are randomized control trials looking at mood disorder, depression, anxiety, and that it's lessened when you're using creatine.”

“It's an illusion that people should only take creatine on days that they're working out.”

“Cheaper versions of creatine monohydrate come as an acid wash, which is why we see a lot of bloating and stomach discomfort.”

“For mood and mood health, creatine is really beneficial for that too.”

“Using creatine can help bring women out of an anxiety or a depressive state much faster than just using something like a serotonin reuptake inhibitor.”

“I'm talking about 3 to five grams daily. You can take a teaspoon and stir in your coffee because it's just a very easy powder that's really mixable.”

“If you're just having creatine at a lower dose, you don't have that transient water retention. Creatine and carbohydrate will both hold water.”

“I started taking creatine but I got... someone was like, oh, you know, take two teaspoons. So I was taking two teaspoons which was about 10 grams.”

“Creatine is used in all the fast energetics of our body... brain function, gut function, heart health, all of that requires creatine.”

“I tell women they should start with maybe one and a half grams for one week, then work up to three grams the next week, and then on the third week you're starting to get that five gram dose in.”
