If You Take Creatine Daily, You NEED to See What They Discovered

Summary

Thomas DeLauer argues that creatine may support the body’s detoxification processes—not by directly removing toxins, but by freeing resources used in liver pathways. He also emphasizes that processed compounds still need to leave the body through the gut.

Strategies discussed

• Creatine: DeLauer recommends 5 g of creatine monohydrate daily, or 10 g for people over 30. He says loading phases, cycling, and specialized forms aren’t necessary.
  • His proposed explanation is that taking creatine reduces the body’s need to make it internally, potentially leaving more glycine available for glutathione production and more methyl groups available for liver processes.
  • He says glutathione helps counter oxidative stress and participates in phase 2 detoxification. He also stresses that this would not itself remove microplastics or other toxins.
• Soluble fiber: He recommends psyllium husk, chia seeds, or flax seeds—around 5–10 g—to bind bile acids and support their elimination in stool. The video describes this as helping reduce the reabsorption of compounds processed by the liver.
• Optional NAC: For people already taking N-acetylcysteine (NAC), he suggests continuing it, presenting it as a source of cysteine for glutathione production.

The video’s proposed “three layers” are creatine to spare glycine and methyl groups, plus soluble fiber to support elimination. NAC is presented as an optional addition.

Microplastics and inflammation

DeLauer cites research on microplastics found in some carotid artery plaques and discusses oxidative stress and inflammation. He says glutathione may help counter associated oxidative stress, but not remove the particles.

Personal experience and promotion

DeLauer describes feeling better after taking creatine and noticing improved liver enzymes, while acknowledging that he can’t attribute the change to creatine alone. The video also includes a paid promotion for Manukora manuka honey.

Important context

These are the presenter’s explanations and recommendations; the video does not establish that creatine or the suggested combination “detoxes” the body or removes microplastics. Consult a healthcare professional before starting supplements, especially if you have a medical condition or take medication.
