Episode Description
Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world, yet most of what’s on the shelves is garbage.
Out of 34 creatine companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 5 made the cut.
The rest? 22 companies ignored his questions entirely. 7 responded but failed to provide complete certificates of analysis. That means the majority of creatine on the market can’t even prove it’s safe.
Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It powers your brain, protects your neurons under stress, fights age-related muscle loss, and emerging research shows it may even help with depression and neurodegenerative diseases.
But without third-party testing, you’re left guessing what’s actually in the product; and your nervous system pays the price.
In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands refused transparency and reveals the only 5 creatine products worth your money in 2025:
• Why are heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents hiding in creatine?
• Which creatine companies provided full certificates of analysis?
• What’s the clinical sweet spot for dosing creatine safely?
• How does creatine protect your brain, not just your muscles?

Creatine is bad, period , does nothing but cause the muscle cell to hold water, gives a bloated look beside the bad side effects google it !!! . Go on sites they are by company’s that promote, “sell” the product so they flat out lie that there ‘s no bad side effects See 1Tim 6 : 10 [Niv] bible . Do not deceive yourself believing that it’s not bad , it will ruin you See 11 Thess 2 : 10 [Niv] bible There are no magical pills , supps, short cuts to lift right, eat right !!!. Can take Herbs to increase testosterone as well as foods , natural remedies . google it !!! You can get plenty from animal meats hardcore bodybuilder or not . Just because something is good for you doesn’t mean more is better .
