223: Why Creatine Monohydrate Isn’t Enough Anymore
The Kris Gethin Podcast

Episode Description

<p dir="ltr">​​You take creatine. You think it’s working. But if you’re bloated, cramping, or seeing zero gains, you’re not absorbing it right.</p> <p dir="ltr">Here’s the truth: monohydrate saturates one transport pathway. Once that’s full, you're done. Up to 30% of users feel nothing. Add GI issues and brain access problems, and you're building strength on a weak foundation.</p> <p dir="ltr">In this episode, I break down CreGAAtine, a next-gen formula with creatine monohydrate, GAA, and B vitamins. It hits four pathways, not one. That means better muscle saturation, stronger brain uptake, and zero bloating.</p> <p dir="ltr">I cover absorption, ATP regeneration, neuroprotection, and why this crushes the “non-responder” excuse. You get more power, more cognitive resilience, and faster recovery, without these side effects.</p> <p dir="ltr">I show you how I take it, why it works year-round, and how it fits into a performance-first lifestyle.</p> <p dir="ltr">Listen in. Then upgrade your creatine. Your strength, brain, and gut will thank you.</p> <p dir="ltr">What's Discussed:</p> <p dir="ltr">(00:01) Evolution of Creatine<br> (01:22) Limitations of Monohydrate<br> (04:13) Brain Absorption & Non-Responders<br> (05:26) What Makes CreGAAtine Different<br> (11:42) Benefits of Creatine Supplementation</p> <p dir="ltr">Thank you to our sponsors: </p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <ul> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">NAD + Cell Shield from Biostack Labs <a href="https://biostacklabs.com/kris">https://biostacklabs.com/kris</a> </p> </li> <li dir="ltr" aria-level="1"> <p dir="ltr" role="presentation">BiOptimizers - code KRIS10 for 10% off  <a href="https://bioptimizers.com/">https://bioptimizers.com/</a> </p> </li> </ul> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p dir="ltr">My Go-To Creatine:<br> CreGAAtine from Unmatched Supplements: <a href="https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/collections/creatine/products/cregaatine-capsules"> https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/cregaatine-capsules</a></p> <p dir="ltr">Find more from Kris:<br> <br></p> <p dir="ltr">Website: <a href="https://www.krisgethin.com/">https://www.krisgethin.com/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/">https://www.instagram.com/krisgethin/</a> </p> <p dir="ltr">Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin">https://www.youtube.com/krisgethin</a>  </p> <p dir="ltr">2 Shred: <a href="https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred?srsltid=AfmBOop1JyRYFWIrLJ_dfa-ljisBdgvNmX5ihZh1K3uprkc9V4ZbACGe"> https://www.unmatchedsupps.com/products/2shred</a> </p> <p> </p>
