The REAL Reason Doctors DON'T Prescribe Creatine

Über dieses Video

Most people take creatine for their muscles. What they don't know is that they're massively under-dosing for the organ that matters most: their brain. Dr. Darren Candow, who has published over 120 papers on creatine, walks through what happens when you increase the dose from the standard 5 grams to 10 grams or more, and the results are not what most people expect. He begins with the Stroop test, a cognitive challenge in which Steven has to name the colour of words rather than read them. Steven fails within seconds. In the landmark study, participants had to perform this test for 90 straight minutes. Those who took 20 grams of creatine beforehand showed statistically significant improvements in speed and accuracy compared to placebo. The brain was using creatine to maintain cognitive performance under stress in real time. Discover: • Why 5 grams of creatine covers your muscles but misses your brain entirely • The Stroop test that proves creatine improves cognitive performance under stress • How 20 grams daily for 8 weeks increased brain creatine by 11% in Alzheimer's patients • Why adding creatine to antidepressants doubled the remission rate for depression • The study of 200,000 adults linking low creatine intake to higher depression rates • Why young female athletes slept 1 hour longer on training days with creatine • The reason weight training is the "hammer" and should come before cardio 📺 Watch the full episode here - https://youtu.be/Jk7RAkFN4vk ❤️ Subscribe to our main channel - www.youtube.com/TheDiaryOfACEO Get your hands on exclusive Diary of a CEO products: https://thediary.com/collections/all?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=experiment&utm_term=clipschannel #thediaryofaceo #doac

And when we start getting the the brain benefits up at this end, >> what are those brain benefits that they were recorded in the studies? Is it I'm going to feel like I slept or is it something more internal?

>> You likely won't feel anything. >> Oh, okay. >> However, when you get to task the next day, so for example, you're up all night, you take a high dose creatine, then you have to go write the final

or the midterm or you can't remember. It's those things when your memory and and and doing puzzles or basic task. Or what about a Stroop test? >> What's a Stroop test?

>> So, I'm going to get you to do this. I apologize in advance. >> It's one of the most fatiguing things that you can do and it was one of the most robust studies to show the efficacy behind creatine.

So, all I simply want you to do is you can see that there's words and then corresponding letters, but you'll notice that the color is incorrect. So, up here you would see, you know, you have red, blue, green, blue, black, but the Stroop test is

now looking at the bottom part. >> So, I've tried it. I can only get the line two without making a mistake. >> Okay, so I want you to do this out loud,

but as fast as possible. >> And am I reading the words or the color? >> You're reading the color. >> Okay, so the first one's green, yeah? >> Uh, yes.

>> Okay, fine. You want to do it as fast as possible? >> as possible. Okay, so let's see how you >> Gosh, this is confusing already.

I hit the second one and I got it wrong in my >> Depends how much creatine you took. >> I don't think I had creatine today. Green, red, yellow, green, blue, black, orange, red, green, blue, pink, black, gray, yellow, red, blue, green, >> There you go,

see? >> The study that they did, get this, they had to do this for 90 straight minutes. >> Oh, wow. >> So, you can imagine how fatiguing that is for someone

studying for the MCAT for medical school or, you know, midterms being sleep deprived. And you're not sleep deprived and you struggled, and you got slower. Now you have to do this for 90 minutes.

And in this classic study, they gave 20 g of creatine before they did the test and then after, and it really improved their ability with speed and cognition there. So, it's just a simple example to show, "Wow, our brain is seeing one thing.

We got to maintain memory and cognition, and creatine can help maintain some of those factors." So, you won't feel anything, but performance of activities like that come into play. >> Do you remember how much it improved their performance on the Stroop test?

>> I would have to get the graph, but it did prove statistically significant, >> What else is there for me to know about the impact that creatine can have on the brain? You know, I think as a >> as a podcaster who

sometimes sits here for many, many hours interviewing people on a range of subjects, I'm always trying to find if there's any way that I can perform better mentally. >> Yeah. So, it doesn't boost the brain.

It likely just brings those levels back up to normal levels before stress, and it might give you a little bit more. So, there's been populations, Alzheimer's disease, clinical depression, uh concussion. When those populations are evident, one of the biggest factors
