ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Dr Darren Candow has published over 1000 peer-reviewed studies on creatine, and he's found something surprising: the optimal dose depends entirely on what you're trying to achieve, and it's probably not what you've been taking.
He breaks down why creatine monohydrate is still king despite flashy new forms, which dose actually works for muscle, bone, and brain, and why vegans respond so much better to supplementation.
