In one of his YouTube short videos, Israetel explained that people know the usefulness of creatine and hence it has been popular throughout history. However, he also explained how certain supplements have bad effects. He recalled Andrew Huberman saying, “You are like dude this is going to change my life. You take it nothing happens. 6 months later, three other studies come out and say it doesn’t do anything. And you are like god dammit I lost my money.” Then the exercise scientist announced, “Creatine is not one of them.”
Eradicating the idea that this is one supplement that does not compromise with visible results, Israetel stated its benefits from muscle growth to improved performance. He said, “It causes muscle growth, it causes an increase in performance, it speeds set to set recovery.” Then the bodybuilding expert exclaims that there’s one benefit that he did not know about. He said, “It even seems to be healthy for the brain and nervous systems for healthy aging which is really cool. Something many people did not see coming, including myself.”
