1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:06,280 Speaker 1: Welcome to this special bonus episode of The Nutrition Couch, 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: and it's in celebration of our brand new product range 3 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:14,040 Speaker 1: under our Design by Dietitians brand our new range of 4 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: specially formulated creation supplements for women, So Leanne, we have 5 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,799 Speaker 1: decided to dedicate an entire episode to the role of 6 00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: creation in the diets of women, because we believe that 7 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: while there's a lot of mass media discussion about it, 8 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: there's still a lot of questions and a lot of unknowns, 9 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: and certainly we have quite a story behind why we've 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: decided to go in this direction with our range of supplements, 11 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: and we've been working on this. How long, Leanne, have 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,279 Speaker 1: you wanted to work on a creation supplement in our 13 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: Design by Dietitians range? 14 00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 2: So long, Susie, I'd say a good year. 15 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 3: And this one did take us quite a while to 16 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: perfect our taste. I would say, We've got a couple 17 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160 Speaker 3: of other supplements we sort of lucked out, but this 18 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,959 Speaker 3: one we went back and forth quite a few times, 19 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: didn't we until we were pretty happy with it. 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: It was a more of a tricky one. So, by 21 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: way of background for any new listeners, Welcome to The 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: Nutrition Couch. Astray as number one nutrition podcast for listeners 23 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 1: who are aware. LeAnn and I are a credit to 24 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 1: practicing dietitians. Together, we've got over thirty five years clinical 25 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: experience working with clients across a range of clinical diagnosis. 26 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 1: Leanne has worked clinically in the areas of digestive health 27 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: and now specializes in fat loss for women. I have 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: worked with pediatrics, sports nutrition and again now focus on 29 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,880 Speaker 1: fat loss for women or women's health in general. And 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 1: so we have been running our podcast, The Nutrition Couch 31 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: for going on too. I think it must be four 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: years in May, which is really a long time. And 33 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: from the very beginning, Leanne, as a budding entrepreneur, had 34 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: been very keen to release a range of products because 35 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 1: as dietitians we recommend supplements for women for a range 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 1: of different reasons, and we have used protein powders for 37 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: quite some time, and we had decided that there's no 38 00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: one better to formulated supplementary food than a dietitian because 39 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 1: we know exactly what we want our clients to be taking, 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 1: we know what the evidence suggests for them, and one 41 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 1: of our mantras for twenty twenty five is to bring 42 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: credibility to wellness because there is so many formulated supplements 43 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: out there targeting women's wellness, but very few of them 44 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 1: are formulated by anyone with scientific qualifications. So you can 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: rest assured that anything we produce and make under our 46 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: design by Dietitians Branding, which we launched in January twenty 47 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: twenty four, is evidence base and we have formulated especially 48 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 1: for women because we use it with our women and 49 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: we have very strong scientific reasons for doing it. So 50 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,240 Speaker 1: to take you through our range, to start with, we 51 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,640 Speaker 1: have our Nourish Women's Protein Blends, We have a formulated 52 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: Women's Health Mix which really targets women with hormonal disorders, 53 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 1: things like polycystic ovaries or MTHFR mutations and insulin resistance. 54 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 1: And then we have our Digestive Blend, which is a 55 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 1: really beautiful clean protein for women who are trying to 56 00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: set all their tummy and then in the middle of 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,960 Speaker 1: last year we got our Hot Chocolates off the Ground, 58 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: which are low sugar blends of our Rest and Glow formulation. 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: Glow it's not fully plant based, but it's a coconut 60 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: based product for those who prefer to avoid dairy. And 61 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: then our Rest Blend is a beautiful dairy blend for 62 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: those who are looking for a more natural alternative in 63 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: their hot chocolates. And then the next topic we were 64 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: really keen to cover with creating in women because for 65 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: anyone who is out there listening to the latest evidence, 66 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: particularly for pery and postmenopause or women, creating is where 67 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: it is at now by way of history. 68 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 4: You know, I have worked with creating as long. 69 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: As I've worked with Rugby League because that was the 70 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 1: number one supplement we would use to improve performance and 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,119 Speaker 1: strength in our athletes going back twenty thirty years, but 72 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 1: more recently Leanne it's really looking at the fact that women, 73 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 1: particularly pery and postmenopause of women have seventy to eighty 74 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 1: percent less creating in their body compared to males, and 75 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: what is the performance implication for that? And so the 76 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: more we read and come to understand in the science, 77 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: which is really moving at a rapid pace, is that 78 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: there only appears to be benefits for women when it 79 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: comes to their physical strength and cognitive health and well being, 80 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: particularly when they're reaching their late thirties and forties and 81 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: moving through the lifespan. So we knew we wanted to 82 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: do it and then it was a matter of working 83 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: out how we did it and what sort of product 84 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: did we want to make, because when it comes to 85 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,279 Speaker 1: concentrated sources of supplements, like in the case of for example, 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: protein powder, it doesn't always taste amazing. It's a concentrated 87 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: form of nutrition, and there's a real art to developing 88 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: a product that tastes good. And we were very very 89 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: lucky that when we first formulated our Nourished Protein blends, 90 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: they tasted amazing off the bat. We went to a 91 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,280 Speaker 1: very reputable formulator, They were great to work with and 92 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: they literally got it right within one or two samples. 93 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: So the issue is when we've come to formulate our creator, 94 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: it took a lot more art because doesn't always mix 95 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: so well, and we wanted to really decide if did 96 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: we want to do it in what form, and we 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 1: decided lean to do it as a formulated drink that 98 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: our women could use as almost a hydrating solution post 99 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: training for those who are keen to really focus on 100 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: the strength based benefits. As such, we've got three new 101 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: skews in our range. We've got our Energy Blend, which 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 1: is a low calorie there are all three grams of 103 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: creation perserved gluten free, a vegan formulation, but this one 104 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: does have the performance benefits relating to caffeine for those 105 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 1: who like a little caffeine boost. We know that there's 106 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 1: certainly strong evidence for that, and that's in the beautiful yellow, 107 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 1: bright yellow packaging. We then have our Vitality Blend, which 108 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: is similar, but instead of focusing on adding a caffeine 109 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: to it, we've got a mix of magnesiums in iodine, 110 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: which is we know multiple benefits for women's health and 111 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 1: nutrients that can be in a low intake for women. 112 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: And that's a beautiful watermelon berry flavor. And I need 113 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: to say that they're literally zero calories in zero sugar, 114 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: so you can imagine to create something that tastes good. 115 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 4: There's very little lands looking you think I'm wrong. 116 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 3: No, no, no, there's a couple of grams of sugar and 117 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 3: there's about twenty to thirty calories in each one. They're 118 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: very low calorie, very low sugar, but not zero. We 119 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 3: don't want to get sous suey susy. 120 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 4: Very very low. 121 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 1: So if I'm calculating diets, I wouldn't count those numbers. 122 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: So very very low, so a perfect low calorie rehydration 123 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,920 Speaker 1: after working out, and then at the last minute we 124 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 1: decided we would also do just a pure creating supplement 125 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: pure for those who perhaps don't like sweet drinks, because 126 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: I won't lie to you, the drinks are quite sweet 127 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: and there's certainly a group of people who don't like 128 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 1: that or would prefer just to add their creation to 129 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,919 Speaker 1: their protein powder in the morning or get it in 130 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: a different way. And so we also have a pure 131 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 1: creatin without any flavoring that you could add to other drinks, 132 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: et cetera to get your daily dose of creatin. So 133 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 1: the first thing we wanted to talk about was creating 134 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: and we'll talk about the functionality of it in a 135 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: minute and how it works. But the other key difference 136 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: in our product that we wanted to really focus on 137 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: is that we have invested in German source Creatum, which 138 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: is a very big deal when it comes to creative 139 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: supplements because very few use it because it's basically very 140 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: very expensive. But it makes a massive difference when it 141 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: comes to the way it's assimilated in the body and 142 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: potential side effects doesn't land. 143 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: Yeah. 144 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 3: Absolutely, And when we say German source, we mean Creo Pure. 145 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,160 Speaker 3: So when you talk about creating worldwide, you essentially have 146 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: two types of creatine. 147 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 2: You've got or where it's source. 148 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 3: You've got creating from Germany and you've got creatine from China. Now, 149 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 3: if a brand has invested in the top creating in 150 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 3: the world from Germany, Create Pure, like designed by Dietitians, have, 151 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: you will rest assured that it will be marketed on 152 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 3: their packet, it will be on their website, they will 153 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 3: be talking about this. So if your creating brand, the 154 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 3: brand that you're taking does not say it is German 155 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 3: sourced or CREO Pure creatine, guarantee that it is from China. 156 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 2: And there's nothing wrong with that. 157 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 3: It is just nowhere near the high quality that German 158 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 3: creating is. And the reason that we wanted Create Pure 159 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 3: from Germany is because it's really renowned worldwide as being 160 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 3: the top source of creatine in the world. It's ninety 161 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 3: nine point nine to nine percent pure creating monohydrate. If 162 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 3: the brand that you're taking does not say it is 163 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 3: from Germany, I can ninety nine point nine to nine 164 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 3: percent nearly guarantee that it is from China. Because if 165 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:32,160 Speaker 3: the brand has invested in German creating, they will say 166 00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 3: that on the label. Now, a couple of things and 167 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: the few reasons why the purity was one of them. 168 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 3: That was one of the reasons we wanted to go 169 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 3: with Creer Pure. The other issue is a lot of 170 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 3: women will experience things such as bloating and digestive upsets. 171 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 3: German Creer Pure is water wash, so you're getting a 172 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 3: lot less negative side effects. Creating from China is generally 173 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 3: acid base washed as well, so you're getting a lot 174 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,079 Speaker 3: more side effects, and of course the purity is nowhere 175 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 3: near what German creating is as well, so there's quite 176 00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 3: a few reasons that we wanted to go with German 177 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: creating as well. And then if you look at the 178 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,560 Speaker 3: top PhD researchers and nutritional scientists in the world, they 179 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: will all recommend German source creature as well because the 180 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 3: purity is better and also the side effects are a 181 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,240 Speaker 3: lot less as well. So we just wanted to note 182 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: that that's where we have sourced our creatine from. 183 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: Its Crea Pure. 184 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 3: It's certified vegan, it's also derived from non animal sources, 185 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 3: and it holds the Kosher and Allow certifications as well, 186 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 3: So that's sort of where we sourced our creating from 187 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 3: but I guess taking it back to basic SUSI A 188 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 3: lot of people ask me what he is creating, because, 189 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 3: like you, I've been talking about creatine for years. I 190 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,640 Speaker 3: myself have been taking creating for the last six plus months. 191 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 3: I started it in the postpartum period with Tilly to 192 00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: get rid of the brain fog. Because one of the 193 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 3: big sports dietitians in Brisbane was like to me, I 194 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:53,679 Speaker 3: was talking about how tired I was and how I 195 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 3: wasn't sleeping with two hundred two, and she's like, oh, 196 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: are you taking creating? All the sports Titian mums are 197 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 3: taken creating And I was like what now. I'm like, 198 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: I'm not training, I'm not exercising, and she's like. 199 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 2: Oh yeah. 200 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 3: And then I was talking to my husband David about it, 201 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 3: and he was a big rower in high school and 202 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 3: he was like, yeah, I've been taking creating for decades 203 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 3: and he has since since I met him, he's been 204 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 3: taking creatine and I just sort of thought, oh, I don't. 205 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: Really need it. I don't want to be a bodybuilder. 206 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 3: I don't want to be big and strong, so I 207 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: never really took it. But he was like, yeah, our 208 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: coaching rowing had us back on it when we were 209 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 3: like fifteen years old, and I was like, what isn't 210 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,880 Speaker 3: that He's like, no, no, no, cretine, Like the research is 211 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 3: so strong around it, And certainly I've always used creating 212 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 3: for clients that are vegan vegetarian want to, you know, 213 00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 3: increase their strength gains. 214 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 2: But for my normal, just. 215 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,520 Speaker 3: Active women, I've never really thought about it up until 216 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 3: the last twelve months, and I've been saying to Susie. 217 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 3: I've been saying to all of my clients, all of 218 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:49,239 Speaker 3: my team, creating will be the biggest supplement of twenty 219 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 3: twenty five. 220 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 2: Mark my words. You heard it here first. I've been 221 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: saying it. 222 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 3: For the last twelve months. It is will absolutely exploded. 223 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 3: It'll be all about creating in twenty twenty five. And 224 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,280 Speaker 3: we want to tell you the reasons why. So Creatine 225 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 3: is a natural substance. It occurs in the body, it 226 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:06,679 Speaker 3: occurs in food, it's in women's breast milk. It's a 227 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: naturally occurring compound that's found in our muscle cells, and 228 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 3: it helps to produce energy during high intensity activity. So 229 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: Creatine increases phosphor creatine stores in the body. It facilitates 230 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 3: the production of ATP, which for the science nerds out 231 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 3: there is our data SCIENTI try phosphate which helps to 232 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 3: fuel the energy stores in the body, and it basically 233 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 3: helps the body to utilize its primary energy stores. So 234 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 3: it's a naturally occurring substance. And as far as supplements go, 235 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,480 Speaker 3: creatin is the most studied nutritional sports supplement in the world. 236 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,440 Speaker 3: It is also a very safe supplement to take. Does 237 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,120 Speaker 3: absolutely everyone need to take it? 238 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 2: No? 239 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: Will it give you an edge of performance based benefit? 240 00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 2: Very likely? 241 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 3: So why a Susie and I harping on about it 242 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: for women? So, as Susie mentioned before, the reason why 243 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 3: it's so important for women, tons of men take creatine, 244 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,640 Speaker 3: they probably don't need to because men eat a ton 245 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 3: of meat and a lot of creatine is found in 246 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 3: animal based products. So if you don't eat a lot 247 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 3: of meat, if you're vegan or vegetarian, hands down, you 248 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 3: should probably be taking a creatine supplement. But there's a 249 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: huge case and there's a lot of emerging research that 250 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,280 Speaker 3: women overall, regardless of how much meat you eat, should 251 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 3: probably also be supplementing with creatine because women typically have 252 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: seventy to eighty percent lower creatine stores than men, and 253 00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 3: like I said, we typically consume less from a dietary perspective, 254 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 3: and there's really emerging evidence, particularly in the last few years, 255 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: that highlights the benefits of creating supplementation across the entire 256 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: women's lifespan. So we'll go through some of that emerging 257 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 3: research at the moment. But just given that women don't 258 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 3: store anywhere near as much creating as men, that sort 259 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 3: of is a no brainer from me from a supplementational perspective. 260 00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:53,319 Speaker 3: But with females, we have a lot of hormone driven 261 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 3: changes throughout the body and through various stages of the 262 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 3: female lifespan. Think the reproductive years, think the pair and 263 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 3: the menopause all years, think during mens sees. Even so, 264 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 3: there's a lot of hormonal changes that women go through, 265 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 3: and during these huge hormonal reproductive changes, the endogenous stores 266 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 3: of creating and the body, the creating synthesis of creating, transportation, creating, 267 00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: karnase kinetics, and also the bioavailability of creating tends to 268 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 3: get altered over time with these hormone driven changes. So 269 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 3: there's a huge, I guess school of thought that a 270 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 3: lot of women should be supplementing regularly with creating throughout 271 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 3: the women's lifespan because particularly in that I guess emerging 272 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 3: research for creating coming out in terms of the fertility 273 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 3: and the postpart and period, particularly with the brain fog, 274 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 3: and then AZUZI mentioned during the perry and the post 275 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 3: metopauseal years as well, there's been a lot of evidence 276 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 3: for the brain, the cognition, the brain fog, and also 277 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 3: things like the strength and the exercise performance benefits, particularly 278 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,960 Speaker 3: because we know after the age of about forty women 279 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,720 Speaker 3: lose muscle mass every single year. So it's sort of 280 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: that thing if you don't use it, you'll lose it. 281 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:06,080 Speaker 3: So that's where creating and strength training together is not 282 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 3: going to make your a massive, boldy builder. It's basically 283 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: just going to help you to maintain, if not build 284 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 3: a little bit of muscle and skal little strength as well. 285 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 3: So there's huge benefits across the women's life span. You 286 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 3: want me to break down some of those benefits even further, 287 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 3: SUSI or do you want to add anything. 288 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: There's a few key points I think that you know 289 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: when it comes to women and creatim because it's traditionally 290 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 1: always been a supplement to promote basically muscle growth, So 291 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: when I go back to my basis of sports nutrition, 292 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: because it's involved in that very quick, rapid energy fire, 293 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: what we know is that it improves performance on repeated 294 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: sets in the gym. So it's very originally came from 295 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: sprint athletes during one hundred meters, it's that ten seconds 296 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 1: or less burst of activity. So in athletes, we would 297 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: use it, say for soccer players or rugby league players, 298 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 1: for first of all, if they were doing short bursts 299 00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 1: of activity, it would basically produce atp that very quick 300 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: energy system quicker, so that was sort of the evidence 301 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: in athletic performance, but also in the gym. It lets 302 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: people recover quicker in between heavy sets. So when young 303 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: athletes would come in wanting to gain muscle tissue, we 304 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: would use it and load their muscle because we knew 305 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: it would help their performance in the gym. They would 306 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: get stronger, they'd be able to lift harder or quicker, 307 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 1: and as such game more muscle tissue. So it was 308 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: very intricately linked to the way they trained, as well 309 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 1: as very specific athletes who had short bursts of high 310 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 1: intensity activity. Now, if I go back to women, most 311 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: women would say, oh, I don't want to be heavier 312 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 1: and build more muscle tissue, so they were almost scared 313 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: of it. So for me, I find it interesting because 314 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 1: one now we know that women in their late thirties 315 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: and forties, unless they've weight trained their whole life or 316 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: had a history with being a higher level athlete, maybe 317 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 1: they rowed at school or a swimmer, they had a 318 00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: lot of baseline muscle mass. So for fake For example, 319 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: for me, I'm quite muscly. It doesn't take me a 320 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: lot to put on muscle mass in the gym, So 321 00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: traditionally I would be like, oh god, I don't need creatum. 322 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 1: Whereas you are an ectomorph Leanne's very long and lean 323 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 1: and struggles to put muscle mass on. So for her 324 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 1: as an individual female, as a dietician advising her, you 325 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: would be like, actually, you've just had two kids in 326 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 1: three years, you're struggling to get strength, you're tired. You're 327 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: going to benefit. So when it comes to women's strength muscle, 328 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: for me, it would be very much looking at an 329 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 1: individual and to say, right, this would be how it 330 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: would potentially benefit you. So for example, traditionally, for my 331 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 1: installment resistant women, I wouldn't use it because I would 332 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 1: have been of the thought, I don't need them to 333 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 1: have more muscle, I need their muscle and fat to 334 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: work better. But what's really of interest to me is 335 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: the emerging evidence to show the benefits from a cognitive 336 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: perspective and a mood perspective, because any woman in their 337 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 1: late thirties and forties dealing with hormonal changes will know 338 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,720 Speaker 1: it's a very challenging period for your brain health cognition. 339 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: You describe brain fog, but also mood, and I think 340 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 1: that's where it's very, very exciting. It's not anymore just 341 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 1: about the strength benefits, although for me it's much more 342 00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: about overall health and well being for women of that 343 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,640 Speaker 1: age group, where we know our mood suffers, our cognitive 344 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,080 Speaker 1: health is not great, and in many cases you know 345 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: you might train and exercise, but perhaps you're not getting 346 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: the strength related benefits that you once did. This is 347 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: all the new area that we didn't even know existed, 348 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:20,440 Speaker 1: and in the past year or two where thinking hang 349 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 1: on scientifically, this makes sense why it could be of 350 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,120 Speaker 1: benefit to many, many more women than just those who 351 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,320 Speaker 1: perhaps were struggling to put on some muscle mass in 352 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:30,000 Speaker 1: the gym. 353 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely couldn't agree more and I think it's such 354 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 3: an exciting supplement. As I mentioned, it is one of 355 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 3: the most research from a sports nituition perspective. But what 356 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 3: we're coming to learn is it's not just muscle. It's 357 00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 3: not just strength, it's not just recovery. It's not just 358 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,520 Speaker 3: that high intensity, quick bursts of exercise like Susie mentioned, 359 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 3: it's also energy production. It's helping women power through really 360 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: busy days and challenging workouts, and it's also got that 361 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 3: role in cognitive function and mood regulation. Again, it is 362 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 3: very emerging evidence. But the thing we know about evidence, 363 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 3: particular dietitian Susie, is that once that evidence becomes common practice, 364 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 3: it's almost eight to ten years too late. So as dieticians, 365 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 3: we love to take some of the emerging research, take 366 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,320 Speaker 3: what we know that have benefited our clients, take what 367 00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:15,359 Speaker 3: you know a lot of the experts in the area 368 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,439 Speaker 3: are saying, and sort of mold all of that together. 369 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,400 Speaker 2: We don't just look at the studies. 370 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 3: We don't look to of course, there's different strength of 371 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,440 Speaker 3: studies and that sort of thing, but we really kind 372 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 3: of look as a clinical picture overall to I guess 373 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 3: guard us in terms of what we're recommending for our clients, 374 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,679 Speaker 3: and more and more, there are more and more research 375 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 3: studies coming out about cognitive function and mood regulation using 376 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 3: regular supplementation of creating. So at the moment, the research 377 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 3: currently highlights that creating does have a large role in 378 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:49,480 Speaker 3: improving things like mental clarity, focus, resilience, and just helping 379 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,960 Speaker 3: women manage life's demands that busy, the juggle and just 380 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: combating as I mentioned, some of that brain fog. And 381 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,440 Speaker 3: a dietitian friend of mine that I know started supplementing 382 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,359 Speaker 3: with creating in purely because she got long COVID and 383 00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 3: she's like, I actually cannot get through a workday without 384 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 3: needing like an apple, just having that brain fuzz all 385 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 3: the time. And she told me she started suffer learning 386 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: with creating and within a couple of weeks she was 387 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 3: just thinking so much more clearly, and that was the 388 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,959 Speaker 3: only thing that she had changed. So there's some really exciting, 389 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,199 Speaker 3: I guess stories that we're hearing from clients and other dieticians, 390 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,640 Speaker 3: but also we're now getting that research to. 391 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 2: Back it up as well, which is really really exciting. 392 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: So specifically when it comes to the mood related benefits, 393 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:35,000 Speaker 1: a recent Psychiatric Times review on creatin has proposed the 394 00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:38,640 Speaker 1: potential cognitive benefits or reporter cognitive benefits appear to come 395 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 1: from three different pathways. The first is that they think 396 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 1: it improves They know that it improves energy metabolism, so 397 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 1: the natural energy cycle, so they think that that's like 398 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 1: a metabolic efficiency benefit that comes and perhaps benefits mood. 399 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,199 Speaker 1: They think that there is some benefit that comes to 400 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: the neurons when it comes to a stress response, so 401 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: it's a protective effect. And they I think it's involved 402 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 1: in the serotonin and dopamine pathways, so basically an efficiency effects. 403 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: So when more creatim's readily available, these pathways seem to 404 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: operate more efficiently, and perhaps that's the reason that people 405 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: will report improved mood. Now, I think the other thing 406 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:21,359 Speaker 1: that we're excited about, or I guess that we're open 407 00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 1: to using it a lot more aggressively with women, is 408 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: that there's really very few side effects. So you know, 409 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: we always have to be careful if we're going to 410 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 1: recommend saying medication, what are the side effects? But because 411 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,359 Speaker 1: creating is a compound that most of us will consume 412 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: in food anyway, and I say most of us, because 413 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: it is an animal based compound. So if you're on 414 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,399 Speaker 1: a plant based diet, your creator will be Lowes. So 415 00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: let's talk about that in a second. But most of 416 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: us are already getting it, so this is just concentrating 417 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 1: the amount. It's like basically a vitamin supplement, so it's 418 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 1: not like we're adding something in that we don't already 419 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: have or as foreign to the body. It's basically just 420 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 1: topping up a nutrient that we already get in food. 421 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,959 Speaker 1: But we know for some reason women's metabolism over time reduced, 422 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: so that's why there's no real cause for concern. But 423 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 1: it's like anything, it's not a case of more is better. 424 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: So traditionally, working with athletic populations, we had to be 425 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: very careful because if we loaded or superloaded creating, it 426 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: could impact the kidneys. So certainly we would stick to 427 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: relatively load doses. We'd load and then we would have 428 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: five grams a day, and then we would cycle on 429 00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 1: and off over six weeks to avoid things like muscle 430 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: tears because it did fluid load the muscle. But that's 431 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: very different to the way that we're encouraging people to 432 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: now use it as an addition to the diet. A 433 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 1: daily addition to improve performance because it's a much lower dose. 434 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: So we're going for three grams a day, which is 435 00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: a well documented therapeutic dose, but we do recommend just 436 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 1: once a day. It's not a matter of having more 437 00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: and more is better. If anything, it may be damaging. 438 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: We don't want to superload. Three grams a day is 439 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 1: the current recommendation for the therapeutic benefits and as such, 440 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: that's what our drinks per serve have. I prefer with 441 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: the flavored varieties to dilute it more, but you're still 442 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:56,520 Speaker 1: getting the same amount as long as you increase the 443 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 1: water and consume that the recommended dose. Some people might 444 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: prefer it sweet, but yeah, three grams a day is 445 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: what we recommend, and that's certainly got an evidence based 446 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: behind it. 447 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 4: But yeah, we do have to be very clear it's. 448 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:08,480 Speaker 1: Not a matter of more and more and more is better, 449 00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,080 Speaker 1: as is the case with many dietary supplements. Once a 450 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,639 Speaker 1: day is what we would recommend for women. 451 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, and there are certainly a lot of research studies 452 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:17,720 Speaker 3: and a lot of just males anecdotally in my past 453 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 3: that I know who I've trained within the past, and 454 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 3: even my husband that load, you know, up to twenty 455 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 3: grams a day for a week or so, and then 456 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 3: they won't do that anymore. So it's almost like a 457 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 3: creating load. And when you look at a lot of 458 00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 3: the negative side effects of creatine, this generally comes down 459 00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 3: to two things. The loading dose is too high. They're 460 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:36,439 Speaker 3: taking a lot, like twenty grams compared to three grams, 461 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: is you know, substantial amount. And the other reason is 462 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 3: also it's Chinese creatine versus German creatine, so again you're 463 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,479 Speaker 3: getting less side effects with the ninety nine point nine 464 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 3: to nine percent pure purity from Germany compared to the 465 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 3: Chinese creatine, which a lot of people, a lot of 466 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 3: studies have reported is more acid acid washed as well, 467 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 3: so you are getting some more of those side effects. So, 468 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 3: as Zuzi mentioned, it's about three grams a day some 469 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 3: and the research shows for during the peri and metopausal 470 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 3: years you can go up to five grams a day, 471 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,760 Speaker 3: but I would definitely recommend just starting at three, seeing 472 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 3: how you tolerate that, and it needs to be daily. 473 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,560 Speaker 3: The thing with creating is if you're just going to 474 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 3: randomly take it, if it's going to be sporadic, if 475 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 3: you forget every so often you kind of take it 476 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 3: for a couple of days and forget over the weekend. 477 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 3: You're not going to get the benefits. The most important 478 00:23:21,840 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 3: message with Creating is that it needs to be three 479 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 3: grams daily. You need to be taking that on a 480 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 3: regular basis. And with our two blends, Women's Vitality and 481 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: Women's Energy, because we have added nutrients in there. For example, 482 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 3: the Women's Vitality one we created because we know that 483 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 3: women are lacking in particular nutrients such as magnesium, zinc 484 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,840 Speaker 3: idron as well, and it's also got the three grams 485 00:23:43,840 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 3: of creating in there. If you wanted to go up 486 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 3: to five grams a day because your healthcare professional had 487 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 3: suggested it or your dietician had suggested it, we don't 488 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 3: recommend doing that without Energy or Vitality blends because that 489 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 3: also means you're getting more than the recommended doses of 490 00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 3: some of the other vitamins and minerals we put in there. 491 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 3: And that's why at the last moment, Susie and I 492 00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:05,760 Speaker 3: chose to also release the pure version, so it's one 493 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 3: hundred percent pure creatine monohydrate from Germany. And again I've 494 00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 3: had a lot of discussions with clients who say, oh, 495 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 3: I'm only taking one hundred percent pure creating monohydrate. But again, 496 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 3: unless you know it's from Germany, I can guarantee you 497 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,080 Speaker 3: it's from China. So even though it says one hundred 498 00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:23,640 Speaker 3: percent pure creatine monohydrate, it's probably not wrong, but it's 499 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 3: also probably not ninety nine point nine to nine percent purity. 500 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,320 Speaker 3: Has it been cut or washed with other you know, 501 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: nutrients and things as well. So that's why we're really, 502 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,520 Speaker 3: I guess quite particular that it has to come from Germany. 503 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 3: If you don't want to buy eyebrown, that's fine, but 504 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 3: make sure that the brand that you source actually comes 505 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 3: from Germany and it is create pure. And the reason 506 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,479 Speaker 3: that we developed just the pure creatine was so that 507 00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 3: you could top up if you wanted to take a 508 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 3: little bit more, or you wanted to do those large 509 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 3: loading doses if you're not so great at taking something 510 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 3: long term daily. You know, the protocol for creating for many, 511 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: many years, you know, decades even was a larger loading 512 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 3: dose and then you'd cycle off for a couple of weeks. 513 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: But as we said, we've sort of. 514 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,439 Speaker 3: Moved away from that, particularly for females, because you do 515 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 3: tend to get the bloating and the water weight and 516 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 3: the increase in the scale gain with that, which you 517 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 3: know is not nice to jump on the scale as 518 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 3: a female and see that go up, or to wake 519 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 3: up feeling quite bloated and heavy. Most days, nobody likes 520 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 3: that feeling. So for most women these days, we're recommending 521 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 3: a much lower dose, but actually daily and consistently over time. 522 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 3: But the pure creatine I love in our range because 523 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:29,440 Speaker 3: that's how I take my creatine. I add it to 524 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 3: my morning smoothie. Sometimes I just whack it in with 525 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 3: my protein shake with a little bit of like a 526 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,840 Speaker 3: fibers supplement like cilium husk or something, and then I 527 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 3: drink that down. 528 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 2: I'm getting my. 529 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 3: Gut benefits, my muscle and my cognition benefits, and also 530 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 3: my protein benefits as well. So that's why the last 531 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 3: moment we decided to do a pure one, because it 532 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 3: is important to allow just that flexibility with our diet 533 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 3: as well, because sometimes, you know, some people don't like 534 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,359 Speaker 3: the fruity drinks. Other people, you know, don't want the 535 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,239 Speaker 3: caffeine basing the energy blend, and that's completely fine, and 536 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 3: other people don't, you know, they don't like the flavor 537 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,240 Speaker 3: of some of the fruity ones that we created, So 538 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 3: using the pure one, you can actually, you know, make 539 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 3: that any flavor that you want if you're putting that 540 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 3: into a smoothie. And the other thing about creating we 541 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 3: should say is that it's well known that creatine doesn't 542 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:13,800 Speaker 3: like mix that well. It doesn't fully dissolve, So there 543 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:15,800 Speaker 3: is a little bit of sort of a settling issue 544 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 3: with creatine. It's not our blend, it's not our drinks. 545 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,400 Speaker 3: That's just creating monohydrate. 546 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:20,880 Speaker 2: Over all. 547 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,800 Speaker 3: Everybody knows if you've regularly taken creatine, you know that 548 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 3: it doesn't sort of completely dissolve, So a little bit of. 549 00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,119 Speaker 2: Settling as normal. 550 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 3: I would just say to get the full benefit, if 551 00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 3: you come to the end of the drink, just add 552 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,119 Speaker 3: in a little bit more water, get a spoon, and 553 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 3: just give it a quick stir and drink down the 554 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Speaker 3: rest of it. Because for the full benefit, you want 555 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 3: for three grams a day. So if you're leaving some 556 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 3: of that in the bottom of the glass, you're obviously 557 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 3: leaving some of that creating behind. You're not going to 558 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,160 Speaker 3: get the maximum benefit from the three grams a day. 559 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: So it's really important to note that that is a 560 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,640 Speaker 3: I guess, a common issue. It's something that obviously we're 561 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 3: working on as hard as we can with our supplies. 562 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 2: It's not bad, but it's just. 563 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 3: One of those things that everybody knows. Creating doesn't fully 564 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 3: dissolve and it has a little bit of sort of 565 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 3: a settling issue. So just bear that in mind. If 566 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 3: you want to drink it out of a shaker, that 567 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,680 Speaker 3: might be easier. You just give it a quick shake 568 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 3: before you, you know, you take each sip. It doesn't 569 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: affect the flavor profile at all, but it's just, I guess, 570 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 3: an issue to be aware of as well. 571 00:27:13,760 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: And now I just wanted to go back and discuss 572 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 1: one thing because on the weekend when we first put 573 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,200 Speaker 1: the products up, I had a lot of questions come 574 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 1: through because I think women in general who are feeling tired, exhausted, 575 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: thinking what can I take everyone's talking about creating? 576 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 4: Is it for me? 577 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,880 Speaker 1: How do I take it? And someone messaged me straight 578 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: away and said that she'd had a bad reaction to 579 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: Creatin and she was very bloated. And I thought to 580 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,199 Speaker 1: myself at the time, oh, I've never heard that. I 581 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: thought it must be the sweetness. But then you said 582 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: to me, no, it can bloat if it's not the 583 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: right type of creatan. 584 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 4: So can you talk us through that? 585 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:46,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, I already did. We're not paying attention. 586 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:51,360 Speaker 1: No, I don't think you emphasized the bloating the abdomino stuff. 587 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:53,159 Speaker 1: I think you mentioned it, but I don't think you went 588 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: into detail why it was caused when it's not the 589 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: same creatin. 590 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:56,440 Speaker 2: No. 591 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: I was listening. 592 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, So the biggest issues someone a kidding, biggest issues 593 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,240 Speaker 3: that a lot of people have with the negative side 594 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: effects such as bloating, and I have had a couple 595 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,800 Speaker 3: of people messaging me around headaches as well. Again, is 596 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 3: the dose and the type of creatine. So it might 597 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 3: say one hundred percent creatine monohydrode on your label, but 598 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 3: is it from China or is it from Germany? Is 599 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 3: it ninety nine point ninety nine percent pure? So I've 600 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 3: mentioned that a couple of times, but it is actually 601 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 3: so important to make sure that your creatine is not 602 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 3: being cut or washed with other things basically, So that 603 00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 3: for us was really important, and I think for most 604 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 3: people when they're getting a lot of the abdominal bloating 605 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 3: or the side effects they're probably having between five to 606 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 3: twenty grams, which for a lot of people, twenty grams 607 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 3: was a recommended dosing protocol for a really long time. 608 00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,720 Speaker 3: That's what my husband took back in his rowing days. 609 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 3: That's what he took in his you know, strength game 610 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 3: gym days before he met me. Now he's just on 611 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 3: a lower dose of five grams a day, and that's 612 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,240 Speaker 3: what he just takes with his protein shake. I only 613 00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 3: takes three grams a day, But yeah, they're probably the 614 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: two biggest issues are the dose and where your creatine 615 00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,760 Speaker 3: is sourced from. So I would pull it right back 616 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:58,960 Speaker 3: if you're taking anything more than three grams and you're 617 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 3: experiencing negatives side effects from that, I would pull it 618 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: right back and obviously make sure if you're getting things 619 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,840 Speaker 3: like headaches, make sure you're drinking enough water, you're sleeping properly, 620 00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 3: all of those other lifestyle factors are checked up as well, 621 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,719 Speaker 3: and then from there, if you're still experiencing negative side effects, 622 00:29:12,760 --> 00:29:15,000 Speaker 3: which are very rare, I might say like creatine is 623 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,360 Speaker 3: a very safe supplement. It is one of the most 624 00:29:17,480 --> 00:29:21,320 Speaker 3: used nutritional supplements in the world besides protein powder probably, 625 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,680 Speaker 3: and I would probably touch base with say a medical 626 00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,240 Speaker 3: professional just to you know, make sure that there's nothing 627 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 3: else going on, because that's the thing we you know. 628 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:30,400 Speaker 2: I'm not going to go anymore. 629 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 3: Into that completely sidetracked, but yeah, I think it's important 630 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:35,560 Speaker 3: touch base with a medical professional if you are having 631 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,040 Speaker 3: negative side effects from that. But yeah, I think the 632 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 3: most important thing is know where your creating comes from 633 00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 3: and sure it's German sourced, and sure it's career pure, 634 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 3: and make sure you're having a smaller dose and sort 635 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,480 Speaker 3: of grading up from there. Don't start at a really 636 00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 3: large dose, start at a smaller dose and see how 637 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 3: you go from there. But the clinical benefits are three 638 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 3: grams a day. You're probably going to not going to 639 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,640 Speaker 3: get much betterfit from only taking one to two grams 640 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,720 Speaker 3: a day. If you look at the research, you really 641 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 3: want to be taking what is basically shown in their 642 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,080 Speaker 3: studies is the effective clinical dose, and we know at 643 00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 3: a minimum that's three grams a day. So if you 644 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,719 Speaker 3: can't tolerate three grams a day, you're probably not going 645 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,880 Speaker 3: to get much benefit from harving that dose at all. 646 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:11,880 Speaker 3: We really do need you to take that three grams 647 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 3: a day to get the benefits from the mood, the cognition, 648 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 3: the strength. 649 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: Let me talk you through the blends exactly so you 650 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:19,880 Speaker 1: know what you're looking at. If you're thinking, I wouldn't 651 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:21,760 Speaker 1: mind giving it a go. You know, it's the start 652 00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,960 Speaker 1: of a new year. I'm not feeling my best. Let's 653 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 1: see for First of all, keep in mind, when you're 654 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 1: buying any kind of supplement at this time of year, wellness, 655 00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 1: you want it to be formulated by people with a 656 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,120 Speaker 1: science degree, not influencers, because you want to make sure 657 00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: what you're getting is what you're paying for. So I 658 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: want to be very clear that we've formulated these based 659 00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,160 Speaker 1: on evidence. So the blend, the watermelon Bury blend, which 660 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,520 Speaker 1: is the pink. They're in these gorgeous, loly colors. I'm 661 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: so happy with them. But this is our vitality mix, 662 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:53,040 Speaker 1: so per serve. It's got twenty four calories or roughly 663 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 1: one hundred kilogels, so very low, less than a gram 664 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 1: of protein and fat as we would expect. There's nothing 665 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 1: in there that would be giving those nutrients. A total 666 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,000 Speaker 1: of five point five grams of carbs three point nine 667 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: grams of sugars, so less than a teaspoon in that 668 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:08,400 Speaker 1: sort of serve, which is three hundred mili with cold water, 669 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:12,760 Speaker 1: sixty milligrams of magnesium to help muscle recovery, three milligrams 670 00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: of zinc to support cell health immune function, which is 671 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: twenty five percent of the IRDI. Iodine, a nutrient we 672 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 1: know many women in Australia are lacking which has profound 673 00:31:22,520 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: effects on our thyroid health. We've got thirty seven point 674 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: five micrograms, which is twenty five percent of the IRDI, 675 00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 1: so we felt these were all nutrients very important for 676 00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,240 Speaker 1: women's well being. And our three grams of credatan, so 677 00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: if you're someone who doesn't tolerate caffeine or doesn't want 678 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,120 Speaker 1: caffeine in your drink, the Vitality as a berry flavor 679 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: is the one for you. And then our yellow bag, 680 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 1: which is our energy blend. This one is slightly different. 681 00:31:47,040 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 1: It's got similar number of calories seventeen per serve or 682 00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:53,239 Speaker 1: sixty nine kilogels, three point five grams of sugars, and 683 00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 1: then it's got vitamin B twelve four micrograms. It's got 684 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,640 Speaker 1: vitamin B six, which is involved in energy regulation in 685 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,520 Speaker 1: the body at three point two milligrams. It's got three 686 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: grams of creating as we've discussed, and then fifty milligrams 687 00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,960 Speaker 1: of caffeine, which is about half the amount in a 688 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,360 Speaker 1: strong Barista coffee, so just that little energy hit. So 689 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,720 Speaker 1: I would say these are best consumed through the first 690 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:20,280 Speaker 1: half a day or after a workout. If your caffeine sensitive, 691 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,840 Speaker 1: I'd be steering clear after lunch, so they're much better 692 00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:26,120 Speaker 1: in the morning. And then if that kind of flavored 693 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: beverage isn't for you, you can just use our pure which 694 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 1: is basically just the three grams of creating that will 695 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,720 Speaker 1: very nicely mix in in any kind of protein drink. 696 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: Course smoothie could put it in your overnight oats and 697 00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: that you could basically take that any time. But certainly 698 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: if you're using it, you know I guess going back 699 00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: why you would use it for the three benefits The 700 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: key ones are for muscle recovery and strength performance, energy regulation, 701 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,800 Speaker 1: and then potentially improve mood would be the three reasons. 702 00:32:56,320 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: And if you were training in the gym and going 703 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,920 Speaker 1: and doing a workout, I would probably say consume it 704 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:05,120 Speaker 1: sort of within that hour post training. But if it's 705 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: just your general performance betefit, it wouldn't matter when you 706 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:10,000 Speaker 1: consumed it. Would you agree with that recommendation? 707 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 3: Leane Yeah, if you're taking it from like a mood 708 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:15,120 Speaker 3: or an energy perspective, it wouldn't matter. But if the 709 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,760 Speaker 3: goal is to improve your strength and your training, there 710 00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 3: is some research that does say that creatine is a 711 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,840 Speaker 3: little bit better uptaken by the body with the one 712 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,360 Speaker 3: is to one ratio of carbs and protein. So if 713 00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:28,720 Speaker 3: you're doing that, best to take the creatine, say with 714 00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,560 Speaker 3: your post workout meal or with your pre workout meal, 715 00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,720 Speaker 3: so you might you know, have some eggs on toast 716 00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:35,880 Speaker 3: and stuff. Then you might go train. If you're lucky 717 00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000 Speaker 3: enough to train at say ten or eleven o'clock in 718 00:33:38,040 --> 00:33:40,080 Speaker 3: the morning. Most of us kind of aren't that lucky 719 00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,920 Speaker 3: at work, But if that's something within your flexibility of 720 00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:44,720 Speaker 3: the day, that's great. If not, you might want to 721 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:47,040 Speaker 3: have that as a post workout kind of meal. So 722 00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:48,880 Speaker 3: go do your training session. You might have lunch, or 723 00:33:48,920 --> 00:33:50,880 Speaker 3: you might have dinner after your training session, and then 724 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 3: you'd have your creatine. Because there is that small amount 725 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:55,479 Speaker 3: of research, but that's really for people looking for that 726 00:33:55,600 --> 00:33:58,800 Speaker 3: real upper edge. You're really quite a serious athlete, or 727 00:33:58,840 --> 00:34:01,120 Speaker 3: you know you're looking to compete, or you're really looking 728 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,800 Speaker 3: to maximize your gains. I don't really consider the timing 729 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 3: when I take my creatine. I just aim to take 730 00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,719 Speaker 3: it daily because for me, it's half the battle is 731 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,320 Speaker 3: just remembering to take it. I don't really push myself 732 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:13,400 Speaker 3: to be quite religious with the one is to one 733 00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:15,759 Speaker 3: uptake of protein and carbs with that. But if you 734 00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:18,520 Speaker 3: are a more serious trainer, a serious athlete, you do 735 00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,239 Speaker 3: want to try to take your creatine with a bit 736 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,239 Speaker 3: of carbs and protein on board. Now just go back 737 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 3: to the energy blend for a minute, Susie, because we 738 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,360 Speaker 3: did get an email just the other day asking about 739 00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 3: the RDI of the B vitamins in our energy mix. 740 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:34,359 Speaker 3: So we have added vitamin B twelve and vitamin B six, 741 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 3: which we know are good from an energy harnessing perspective, 742 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:40,080 Speaker 3: and we have got about two hundred percent of the 743 00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,960 Speaker 3: RDI of both of those B vitamins in there. So 744 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 3: to give you context, the upper limit in America for 745 00:34:46,920 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 3: B vitamins is about one hundred milligrams of vitamin B six. 746 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,920 Speaker 3: In Australia it's about fifty milligrams, so we significantly below 747 00:34:54,120 --> 00:34:57,000 Speaker 3: the upper limit of that. Yes, we're having more than 748 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,239 Speaker 3: the recommended daily intake, but because we have created a 749 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:05,040 Speaker 3: scientific blend of energy. We are giving our consumers more 750 00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:07,440 Speaker 3: of that energy boost. Is still a very safe limit. 751 00:35:07,760 --> 00:35:10,640 Speaker 3: BEE vitamins are also water sober, so generally what the 752 00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:13,879 Speaker 3: body doesn't need or utilize, you will essentially just pee 753 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 3: it out. And as I mentioned, we're a lot further 754 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,600 Speaker 3: away from that upper limit. It is over the recommended 755 00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:22,600 Speaker 3: it's just the daily limit. But to give you some context, 756 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,480 Speaker 3: it's got about a third of the B twelve in 757 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 3: something like a brocker, and as Zuzie mentioned, it's about 758 00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:29,720 Speaker 3: half the caffeine amount in a creatine. So it's essentially 759 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 3: like a little bit of a pre workout drink, so 760 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:33,319 Speaker 3: you could take it as a little bit of a 761 00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:35,480 Speaker 3: morning pre workout drink. It doesn't have all of the 762 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 3: things in there that give you the jitters that give 763 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 3: you the big buzz, but it will give you more 764 00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:42,440 Speaker 3: of a natural energy boost because we have used organic 765 00:35:42,480 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 3: match of green tea powder and a little bit of 766 00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:46,759 Speaker 3: gin zing extract and a little bit of grana in 767 00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:49,000 Speaker 3: there as well to give you that natural energy boost. 768 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:51,120 Speaker 3: But I just wanted to clarify that that is still 769 00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:54,399 Speaker 3: a very safe limit of B vitamins obviously, but our 770 00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,440 Speaker 3: products are also formulated supplementary sports foods, so they're not 771 00:35:58,560 --> 00:36:00,960 Speaker 3: designed for children. And we have had a couple of 772 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 3: questions about pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is some emerging evidence 773 00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 3: that creating can be useful for the fertility and the 774 00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:12,120 Speaker 3: pregnancy period, and in particular the postpart and brain fog period. 775 00:36:12,200 --> 00:36:15,080 Speaker 3: I myself am taking creating. I am still breastfeeding Tilly, 776 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:17,680 Speaker 3: but we need to say that it is something that 777 00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,919 Speaker 3: you need to check with your healthcare professional about. There 778 00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:24,279 Speaker 3: is no research that says it's completely safe to take 779 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,440 Speaker 3: creatine well pregnant or breastfeeding, but there's also not research 780 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 3: to say that it is unsafe. The issue with pregnancy 781 00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 3: and breastfeeding is that you're not really going to get 782 00:36:32,440 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 3: ethics for pregnancy and breastfeeding. Like it's very difficult to 783 00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:39,160 Speaker 3: get ethics approval for those quote unquote conditions of pregnancy 784 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,919 Speaker 3: and breastfeeding. So it's sort of one of those things 785 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,080 Speaker 3: where researchers never have a lot of money. So if 786 00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:46,560 Speaker 3: they're going to put people in studies, it's going to 787 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,880 Speaker 3: be healthy, active people. It's going to be you know, 788 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,680 Speaker 3: it's not going to be those particular subgroups of pregnancy 789 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:55,240 Speaker 3: and breastfeeding generally unless a company had a real specific 790 00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,399 Speaker 3: interest in it. So there's no research to say it's safe, 791 00:36:57,400 --> 00:36:59,560 Speaker 3: but also it doesn't say it's unsafe, but you're best 792 00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 3: to check with your healthcare professional if you are pregnant 793 00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,799 Speaker 3: or breastfeeding and you are wanting to take creatine as well. 794 00:37:05,480 --> 00:37:07,960 Speaker 1: All right, well, I think what we will do now 795 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,719 Speaker 1: is refer you to our website designed Bydietitians dot com, 796 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:14,680 Speaker 1: where you can see our entire evidence based supplement range, 797 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 1: including our new three skews of creating, Energy, Vitality, and Pure. 798 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:22,120 Speaker 1: It's got the information that with some of the information 799 00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,640 Speaker 1: we've spoken about on there. But we will continually update 800 00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,400 Speaker 1: you on our podcast this year about new and emerging 801 00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:30,720 Speaker 1: research when it comes to creating, certainly it's a new area. 802 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: We're very happy to take questions or dms on our 803 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:38,400 Speaker 1: nutrition couch or designed by Dietitian Instagram page.
