Get My Brand Masterlist https://drchristiangonzalez.com/best-brands-form-2/ Get Creatine Brand List https://drchristiangonzalez.com/creatine-pdf-request-form/ Episode Description Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world, yet most of what's on the shelves is garbage. Out of 34 creatine companies Dr. Christian Gonzalez investigated, only 5 made the cut. The rest? 22 companies ignored his questions entirely. 7 responded but failed to provide complete certificates of analysis. That means the majority of creatine on the market can't even prove it's safe. Creatine isn't just for bodybuilders. It powers your brain, protects your neurons under stress, fights age-related muscle loss, and emerging research shows it may even help with depression and neurodegenerative diseases. But without third-party testing, you're left guessing what's actually in the product; and your nervous system pays the price. In this episode, Dr. G exposes which brands refused transparency and reveals the only 5 creatine products worth your money in 2025: • Why are heavy metals, pesticides, and solvents hiding in creatine? • Which creatine companies provided full certificates of analysis? • What's the clinical sweet spot for dosing creatine safely? • How does creatine protect your brain, not just your muscles?

0:00.0	Creatine is one of the most studied supplements in the world, yet most of what is on the shelves is garbage.
0:05.1	Out of 34 creatine companies, I investigated, only five made the cut.
0:10.7	The rest of them, 22 companies, ignored our questions, and the seven that responded they failed to provide complete certificates of analysis.
0:19.8	That means the majority of creatine on the market cannot even prove that it's safe.
0:24.6	I don't care if you're a billion-dollar company, doctor-formulated label, or you have the hottest influencer in the game on Instagram.

1:34.8	fight age-related sarcopenia that is muscle loss that comes with age and therefore keeps you strong,
1:41.2	mobile, and as you age, independent. But what is the problem?
1:45.5	Most creatine on the market is contaminated.
