Products they talk about
CreaPure👍 Recommends
…identifying the best quality creatine supplement with proper certification
“The other big thing for your viewers is make sure it has CreaPure or some form of creatine monohydrate on the label. And that it's also third-party tested. CreaPure. CreaPure is from Germany. It has the highest standard of qualification and scrutiny.”

Create Creatine Gummies👍 Recommends
…evaluating third-party tested creatine gummy products as alternative delivery method
“The one you're eating is by Create from the United States. They have had multiple trials. They're the first company to actually look at a randomized control trial to show improvements in volleyball players with the gummies. Children love them. Older adults, this has become an area of interest where a chewing ability or taste sensation has gone down. They seem to be very convenient and effective.”

Creatine Monohydrate👍 Recommends
…discussing which type of creatine supplement to take for optimal results
“So by far, creatine monohydrate. And that goes against all the new marketing forms. So creatine monohydrate is simply creatine linked to one water molecule. When you take it into the body, the water molecule dissolves. It's identical to what's being produced in the liver and the brain. All the evidence that you ever hear about the safety and efficacy of creatine is based on the old, boring, from 1832, creatine monohydrate.”

NSF Certified Supplement👍 Recommends
…explaining third-party testing certifications to verify supplement quality
“And then NSF certified or another third-party certified. So those are the three things that I personally would look for. Monohydrate, CreaPure is the type, and then NSF certified or third-party certification. Which is that little logo at the bottom? That little logo here at the bottom. That's right. What does that mean? So NSF is the National Sanitation Foundation. It's a third-party organization that will independently take the supplement and then third-party test it.”
