The reel accurately describes the benefits of creatine for strength and performance at typical doses, but overstates cognitive benefits and the use of high doses for specific conditions. The claims about digestive issues and forms of creatine are generally supported.

Five grams of creatine is the most studied dose that is going to get you most of the performance benefits.

The evidence supports that 5 grams is a typical dose for performance benefits.

Creatine MonohydrateOverstated

When you dose 10 grams of creatine, this is when you can start to get some of the cognitive benefits.

While creatine may improve short-term memory and reasoning, the evidence does not specifically support 10 grams as necessary for cognitive benefits.

Creatine MonohydrateUnsupported

25 grams of creatine can potentially be used for something like a traumatic brain injury or severe sleep deprivation.

There is no evidence provided to support the use of 25 grams of creatine for traumatic brain injury or severe sleep deprivation.

Creatine MonohydrateSupported

Micronized creatine monohydrate can dissolve better in water, so if you're sensitive, go for a micronized form.

Micronized creatine is known to dissolve better, which can help reduce digestive issues.

This is three grams of creatine. This is also three grams of creatine. This is 50 cents. This is $2.50. I'll do the math for you, that's five times more expensive. This also has seven grams of sugar, so I'll leave that decision up to you. Now, here's some creatine that I prepared earlier. This is five grams of creatine. Five grams of creatine is the most studied dose that is going to get you most of the performance benefits. Think improved strength, endurance, and because of those, muscle gain, if combined with resistance training. Now, this is 10 grams of creatine. Now, the muscles in your body are greedy, so they will take the first five grams. But when you dose 10 grams of creatine, this is when you can start to get some of the cognitive benefits. Think better alertness, mood improvements, and overall brain function. Now, this is 25 grams of creatine. This is a very high dose creatine that can potentially be used for something like a traumatic brain injury or severe sleep deprivation. This would only be for short-term use, though. Now, some people are going to get digestive complaints when they take creatine. For every five grams of creatine, you need about 300 mils of water to dissolve. So, if you were to be taking 10 grams of creatine, you would dissolve that in 600 mils, two of these. Now, you can dissolve it in warm water, and this can help dissolve it further, but just don't dissolve it in hot water because then this can degrade the creatine into creatinine. Quick note, to make a gummy, you're going to need high heat. So, even sugar content and cost aside, I don't have too much confidence in these. Micronized creatine monohydrate can dissolve better in water, so if you're sensitive, go for a micronized form. And another thing that can help to reduce the digestive symptoms is to have it after a meal. Creatine's amazing. It's got a lot of benefits. It's very safe. Just make sure you're getting the right form at the right dose and take it consistently. Damn, that's sweet.
