Dr. Darren Candow, a professor in the faculty of kinesiology and health studies at the University of Regina in Canada, delivers an in-depth discussion about creatine. He discusses its benefits, addresses common misconceptions, and highlights the supplement’s effects on athletes, young adults, elderly, and clinical populations. He also addresses concerns such as weight gain, kidney stress, and issues with combining creatine and caffeine. He dispels myths about creatine causing baldness and 'man boobs', and also emphasizes on ways to incorporate creatine into a regular diet, especially for vegans and vegetarians. Towards the end of the conversation, he delves into recent research that shows creatine can have cognitive benefits and potential gains for those experiencing metabolic stress.
