#33 Can creatine be used in endurance sports?

In this episode, we delve into how creatine – a well-known supplement in the fitness world – may play a role in endurance sports. Creatine is a natural substance produced in the body and acts as an important source of energy during short, intense activities.

You'll also gain insight into how creatine affects body weight, recovery, and muscle volume, as well as which dosing strategies are most effective.

Is creatine a hidden game-changer for endurance athletes, or is it only relevant for explosive sports like weightlifting and sprinting? Listen in as we discuss the science and practical experiences that can help you decide if creatine is worth adding to your training.
