Have you ever wondered what a sandwich sounds like?

Not much to it, is there?

Unless, of course, it's a Walker's sandwich.

Mmm, that is good.

Now that's what Asani should sound like.

Go all crisp in with walkers.

Delicious.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another mini episode of Ask Dr. Hazel in these short five-minute

episodes I answer questions submitted by you.

Hi, Hazel. My name's Nadia.

So great to have the podcast back.

I have heard about the benefits of taking creatine in high-intensity exercise,

so sort of cross-fit type of sports. I was wondering if there's any purpose or benefit

of taking creatine for endurance sports such as running marathons or longer type of triathlons, etc. Thank you.

Hi Nadia, what a great question. So before we dive in, let's just cover off what creatine is,

first of all. So creatine is a compound that's produced in the body from amino acids. Now, this is created naturally in the body,

but can also be obtained from animal-based foods like meat and fish or from supplements, typically

as a powder or a capsule. So creatine works by combining with phosphate groups to form phosphocreotene.

I need you to stay with me because this part's important.

Now, during very intense bursts of activity lasting a few seconds,

so think about things like sprints, jumps, max lifts,

our body generates ATP, and that is energy from phosphocreatine.
