Creatine Works, But Not For Every Claim Social Media Makes #peptides #health

About this video

In this episode, Seeds sets out to grade creatine claims against the available evidence rather than social-media enthusiasm. He argues creatine has strong support for its classic role — buffering ATP through phosphocreatine to support repeated high-intensity effort — particularly when phosphocreatine stores are low or repeatedly depleted. By contrast, he says many biohacking claims extrapolate well beyond what the mechanistic and clinical evidence currently shows. Seeds describes phenotyping patients to identify where creatine is plausibly useful, and mentions possible adjunctive value in contexts such as low muscle mass and poor adaptation to resistance training in older adults, and potentially mental-health support, while stressing these are more tentative than the performance evidence.

Key takeaways

• Seeds separates creatine’s well-supported performance role from speculative biohacking claims built on top of it
• He argues a plausible mechanism is not the same as demonstrated clinical benefit
• Matching an intervention to the patient’s phenotype matters more than following supplement trends
• Social media is treated as a source to be audited, not a source of evidence
