Creatine Monohydrate

But why?

What is commonplace today would be considered synthetic decades ago. Look at the breed of plants we grow, animals we raise, and staple foods (cheese) we eat.

Creatine isn't synthetic, it is found in all sorts of natural foods. It is no more artificial than vitamin C.

> Can't we just live as we are and not aim for some ideal only reachable through the use of synthetic substances?

Insulated housing is a synthetic substance. I rather enjoy living with it.

Oh and cooked food. Huge advantage there.

All grains we eat are highly processed.

Even beef is dry aged.

Cheeses are processed as hell, just we use cultivated bacteria to do the work for us.

> people do just fine without any of that.

Tell that to someone who is vitamin B deficient.

Choline supplements are a huge help for the elderly, just across the board (with the exception of some people who do really bad with choline!)

Those insulin supplements!

(Yes, most insulin is now synthetic).

So you wouldn‘t use glasses if you were shortsighted either?

Different people have different body chemistries. For many people, these supplements can help provide something their body might lack or process differently than other people. In many ways, it's no different than drugs (like medications). The actual line is really just an artificial boundary put in place by regulatory bodies.

I know I've seen _major_ life improvements with the addition of a few key supplements.
