Everything You Need to Know About Creatine with Dr. Darren Candow

Vegan Body Coach Podcast

On today’s show… It’s finally time to talk about Creatine.

• Should you bother with it?
• Is it safe?
• And what about hair loss and weight gain?

I have the Creatine Godfather himself, Darren Candow PhD, to rip into this one and provide clear, evidence based information on what creatine is, how it works and how to supplement with it.
Plus, we touch on an aspect of creatine supplementation not often talked about in mainstream circles - do vegans need more or less creatine than omnivores?
Grab your creatine, and let's go.
