Why I MEGADOSE Creatine (it's not for my muscles)

However... As it turns out, taking 20 grams a day could literally upgrade your brain function – and that's just scratching the surface of what this compound can do. I've been experimenting with different creatine doses lately, and the results have blown my mind. So while everyone's stuck on the standard 5-gram recommendation, research shows that doubling or even quadrupling that dose unlocks benefits nobody talks about. Your bones get stronger. Your sleep improves. Your brain fires faster during stressful situations. And yes, your muscles recover like you're 10 years younger. Your body is already making creatine right now, but it's only producing about 2 grams daily – barely enough to keep you functioning, let alone thriving. Now, unless you're demolishing over 2 pounds of meat every single day (and cooking destroys some of it anyway), you're running on a deficit. I know what you're thinking – "But won't it make me go bald and destroy my kidneys?" That's exactly what kept me from trying higher doses for years. But turns out, those fears come from one poorly designed study from 2009 that everyone keeps citing. New research with proper controls shows zero impact on hair loss and actually demonstrates kidney safety even with long-term use. The real question isn't whether you should take creatine – it's how much you're leaving on the table by not optimizing your dose for your specific goals. Whether you're trying to maintain bone density as you age, sharpen your mental edge during demanding work, or simply want to feel more energetic throughout your day, there's a creatine protocol that can help. --- --- --- If you can't get fresh heart & liver in your diet, try our 100% grass-fed desiccated beef organs at Heart & Soil: https://shop.heartandsoil.co/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=Creatine Looking for a healthy and delicious snack?
