122) Dr Darren Candow - The Truth about Creatine - Benefits, Side Effects and Dosages

Today's conversation is with Dr Darren G. Candow. Darren is a Professor at University of Regina in Canada working in the Aging Muscle & Bone Health Laboratory and has published over 100 research articles, reports and abstracts. Darren's research program involves the development of effective resistance training and nutritional intervention strategies. This episode focuses on Darren's expertise in one of the most discussed supplement in the health and fitness industry - creatine. Expect to learn about Darren's research in creatine and what the results mean for you and I. I ask about the important role that creatine plays in the body, what are the headline benefits for those who train, the sources it comes from, and what dosages that have an impact. Importantly, Darren uses the data to give evidence based information and recommendations while also discussing any potential side effects and whether creatine is something that all individuals can take, respond to, and benefit from.
