Vegans and vegetarians may be deficient in creatine, leading to cognitive impairment, as supplementation has been shown to improve cognitive function in these groups.

“think it's interesting that creatine supplementation of five grams per day, that's creatine monohydrate, has been shown to improve cognition in people that aren't getting creatine from animal sources.”

“if you know you can do a loading phase creatine is a fascinating molecule it's the main place where all your methylation goes in your body we know that there's some incredible studies showing the vegetarians who supplemented with creatine gained IQ points and stuff so brain”

“if you get vegetarians if you give vegetarians creatine which is something”

“I've seen the studies and vegetarians where they supplement them with five grams of creatine per day and they get smarter and have better working memory”

“the study I mentioned with creatine and vegetarians is the influence of creatine supplementation on the cognitive function of vegetarians and omnivores”

“and the studies around creatine supplementation and vegetarians are fascinating to me the ones where they can show that vegetarians get smarter when you give them creatine to me is the strongest indictment you know against a plant-based diet ever if you can make a vegetarian smarter that means they got dumber hey they got dumber when they stopped eating meat”

“why would a food that is so rich in these unique nutrients that allow us to be smarter when i was on joe rogan i talked about a creatine study in which vegans and vegetarians are supplemented with creatine and they get smarter joel they do better because you are deficient in creatine”

“creatine is a very important intermediate in the phosphate system in your body really important in terms of the production of atp the regeneration of atp from adp getting creatine in meat is huge i've talked about this in the past if you take vegetarians and you give them a supplement of creatine which they should be getting in meat which they're not eating they get smarter they get smarter they do well on tests of recall and memory tasks okay creatine makes you smart it's in meat it's good for you okay end of story there”

“as you can see vegetarians average around 100 millimole per kilogram dry weight creatine normal people quote unquote normal who i would also define as deficient or about 120 millimole”

“so most vegetarians on low creatine diets are functioning sub optimally because the mitochondria in their brain are creatine deficient”

“when vegetarians who as we heard and saw have lower levels of creatine in their muscles are supplemented with creatine their memories get better essentially they become smarter by many definitions of the term smartness or intelligence by being able to recall things better when they are given creatine to attain normal or what i would consider to be optimal levels of creatine”

“what if i told you that there is a very special nutrient that is not found in plants that is only found in meat and organs that makes vegetarians smarter and that makes the elderly smarter in a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial vegetarian females were given creatine and their memory improved there have been other randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trials with the elderly showing that giving them creatine improves cognition”

“creatine for instance has been shown to improve the intelligence of creatine deficient vegetarians which all of them are because there is no creatine in the plant kingdom when it is administered them in either 20 gram loading doses or five gram-loading doses over a longer period but vegetarians improve card sorting and memory tasks when they are given creatine”

“when we give creatine a nutrient found exclusively in animal foods like meat to vegetarians they do better on card sorting and memory tasks”

“in terms of memory tasks card sorting all sorts of things like this 5 to 15 % benefit with creatine supplementation the biggest benefits from creatine supplementation are definitely seen in vegans and vegetarians who are probably getting around zero grams of creatine per day”

“it is not a dishonest statement to say that creatine supplementation makes vegans and vegetarians smarter”

“I think most vegans and vegetarians need to do that as well or they can just go back to eating meat also”

“vegetarian muscles are about 20 to 30% lower in creatine than omnivore muscles an indication like I mentioned that they can use more creatine”

“I think most vegans and vegetarians need to do that as well or they can just go back to eating meat also”

“They've even done studies with vegans where they give vegans creatine and they get smarter.”

“giving creatine to vegetarians which clearly improves many mult many many measures of intelligence”

“creatine makes vegetarians smarter improves Muscle Recovery improves mental Clarity”

“I think most vegans and vegetarians need to do that as well or they can just go back to eating meat”

“uh third party tested they are vegan based could be considered yeah I mean it seems like it'd be very important for that population of people in particular yeah we we've done some really fascinating studies with vegans and vegetarians and they respond exceptionally well uh because we're doubling the amount of creatine which is the high energy compound in our muscle so they those individuals can do more repetitions higher volume quicker recovery so it really has favorable effects for male and female uh vegans and vegetarians”
