223: Why Creatine Monohydrate Isn’t Enough Anymore

​​You take creatine. You think it’s working. But if you’re bloated, cramping, or seeing zero gains, you’re not absorbing it right.

Here’s the truth: monohydrate saturates one transport pathway. Once that’s full, you're done. Up to 30% of users feel nothing. Add GI issues and brain access problems, and you're building strength on a weak foundation.

In this episode, I break down CreGAAtine, a next-gen formula with creatine monohydrate, GAA, and B vitamins. It hits four pathways, not one. That means better muscle saturation, stronger brain uptake, and zero bloating.

I cover absorption, ATP regeneration, neuroprotection, and why this crushes the “non-responder” excuse. You get more power, more cognitive resilience, and faster recovery, without these side effects.

I show you how I take it, why it works year-round, and how it fits into a performance-first lifestyle.

Listen in. Then upgrade your creatine. Your strength, brain, and gut will thank you.
