Let's talk about some of the things that seem to work across the board to improve strength and improve #hypertrophy and improve nerve to #muscle communication and performance.
The first thing that's absolutely key for nerve to muscle communication and physical performance of any kind might not sound that exciting to you. But it is very exciting and that's salt, nerves, nerve cells, neurons communicate with each other and communicate with muscle by electricity. But that electricity is generated by particular ions moving into and out of the neuron and the rushing in of a particular ion: sodium, salt is what allows nerve cells to fire. If you don't have enough salt in your system, your neurons and your brain and your nerve to muscle communication will be terrible. If you have sufficient salt, it will be excellent. How much salt will depend on how much water you're drinking, how much caffeine you're drinking and how much food you're ingesting. So and whether or not you're taking any diuretics, how hot it is, etcetera, how much you're sweating. So you want to make sure that you have enough salt, potassium and magnesium in your system if you want to perform well, I realize that salt isn't a very glamorous performance tool, but it is vital. It is absolutely vital. And the endurance athletes and the people that train in high heat can speak to the fact that when your electrolytes are low your brain doesn't function, your body doesn't function nearly as well.

Here's a summary of the key points from the video:
1. **Nerve to Muscle Communication and Salt**:
- Neurons communicate with each other and with muscles using electricity generated by ions, particularly sodium (salt).
- Adequate salt intake is crucial for optimal nerve to muscle communication.
- The amount of salt needed depends on factors like water and caffeine intake, food consumption, diuretics, temperature, and sweating.
- Along with salt, potassium and magnesium are also essential for optimal performance.
2. **Creatine**:
- Creatine has been shown in numerous studies to improve muscle performance.
- Recommended dosage: For someone around 180 pounds, 5 grams a day is sufficient.
- Creatine acts as a fuel source for high-intensity activities and also for neurons in the brain.
- Benefits of creatine include increased power output, improved hydration, increased lean mass, and reduced fatigue.
3. **Beta Alanine**:
- Supports exercises of slightly longer duration, blending anaerobic and aerobic movements.
- Effective for activities in the 60 to 240-second range.
- Standard dose: Between 2 and 5 grams.
- Benefits include improved muscular endurance, reduced fatigue, and potential reductions in body fat.
4. **Electrolytes**:
- Essential for optimal performance.
- Important for both mental and physical tasks.
5. **Beet Juice, Arginine, and Citrulline**:
- These can improve performance for longer bouts of exercise due to their vasodilation effects.
- Note: Arginine and citrulline can increase the likelihood of herpes cold sore outbreaks.
6. **Nutrition and Muscle Performance**:
- For muscle growth, a caloric surplus of about 10 to 15% is recommended.
- Ingesting 700 to 3000 milligrams of the essential amino acid leucine with each meal supports muscle synthesis.
- Protein density: Animal proteins tend to have a higher density of essential amino acids compared to plant-based sources.
- Eating frequency: Eating 2 to 4 times a day with sufficient amino acids is recommended for muscle repair, growth, and strength improvements.

Salt can vary in many forms but specifically, the salts that are highgly involved in cardiovascular, endurance and strenght training are:
- Potassium
- Magnesium
- Chloride
- Calcium
- Sodium
Zinc and Pyridoxine (B6) may also have a big impact on testosterone production which will lead to more muscle mass gains. A ZMA supplement is a staple for bodybuilding world.
He’s talking about sodium, not potassium, magnesium, etc.
@@epicbehavior Aside from Sodium, he is mentioning the importance of Magnesium and Potassium and I added the importance of Magnesium and Zinc on the testosterone production and muscle repear. Rewatch that part 👍
what kind of creatine ?
Citronine
not for those who have cold sores in their genetic makeup:
L-Arginine will give you more cold sores than you get normally

Creatine is so expensive compared to what it was a few years ago
It’s worth the price
Everything is more expensive compared to it's price a few years ago Hunter..... it's called inflation
You can buy it for like $20
Still need to buy it like gas.
Real talk! I was just talking to my buddy about this yesterday. I feel like 5-6-7 years ago creatine was basically free.
99% of you dorks don't even consistently go to the gym. Forget about stuff like this until you got your routine down. Learn to walk before you learn to run.
Says the dork who doesn't go to the gym lol
Let’s go gym
Salt is also great for a nice pump . I make a lil natural pre work out drink before the gym it consists of warm water , apple cider vinegar, lime and salt . Also a great way to get the digestive system started👌
Interesting. What are the measurements?
@@ThePranaKitchen definitely works . Gives you more energy more electrolytes, better blood flow which what gives your muscles bigger pump/contraction. So I have 1 table spoon of organic apple cider vinegar , around half a tsp of himulayan salt , tsb of freshly squeezed lime in a warm cup of water 👌
@@0121bassline Thanks!!
Put some honey for fast glycogen

I already started balding at 16 so creatina was never a fear for me 😈 bow down full-haired mortals!
So you're not natural 💀💀
@@mannyblackstar my 19 y.o. friend is balding as well and does not even lift 🤣 He's just next in line in their early balding family
@@radimpasteka I'm depressed
@@mannyblackstar not necessarily. I knew a guy who began balding in high school also. He said wouldn’t work out either. He was a big fat guy but he had a beard since 7th grade also. Still has the thickest beard I’ve ever seen 😂
For some p pole it’s just genetics.
Same happened to me brotha. some general advice: dont stress about it. just dont give a fuck. not only will people respect you much more for not being insecure, but also not stressing will literally SAVE HAIR lol. I lost a ton whenever i stressed about it and counted my hairs in the shower. stop caring. also, it’s very possible you’re growing into a “mature hairline” and balding will slow or subside for a while. i lost a lot between 16-18, stopped losing until maybe 24, and then it slowly starting again now that im 25. by this point i hardly care anyways. it’s very hard as a young man though, i understand the struggle. love yourself brother man, and focus on becoming so confident and valuable for YOURSELF, and girls want to fukk your bald ass all day.
It's similar to my supplement regime. But I have maca instead of beta alanine.
Plus I find benefit (as a placebo I don't know) adding 10 minuts per week of uv lamp (I work indoor and I live near Italian Alps, so not so much sun during winter time): it relaxes and decompress me.
Thank you for your advices
Only 10 minutes per week is enough to make a difference for you?
@@omicrondecto be precise , 12 minutes in a "hi pressure cabin" . So they call it at the tanning center
Maca gave me tinnitus that won’t go away
Did maca make a difference?
Maca is nowhere near close to a beta alanine supplement
As a bodybuilder, I almost snort salt at this point. NEVER AVOID SALT!!!
Isn't the body regulating salt b aldosteron.
ingesting more means excreting more?
Salt is not the problem, you need to be snorting potassium to offset the amounts of salt you are taking
Depends on your blood pressure if it’s critical I would avoid excess
@@csih2119 Wanna Eat Bananana.
As someone working in the medical field... Lot's of people need to keep an eye on their salt intake!
I used creatine years ago and it never worked despite spending a fortune on it, perhaps it works with steroids.
Don't forget L-Glutamin. This is the most used amino acid in the body and is essential for the immune system and digestion.
it is heavily spended with hard physical activity, so it needs to be resplenish daily, i personnaly
take 5g. a day with my 5g. of creatin and about 25g. of Whey protein.
Creatine in itself raises the DHT levels by a few points. But for people who's DHT levels are just below the threadhold of losing hair, this few points
will be enough to start hairloss. Would explain why fewer people experience hairloss with creatine. I noticed my hair would grow back after stopping creatine.
But why chance it.
Funny. I don't notice it with creatine, but I started taking tongkat ali on Dr Huberman's recommendation. Hair started thinning with zero perceived benefits.
Why "chance it"? Because I give zero Fs about hair loss
Doesn’t affect my hair loss at
All
@@UTBanjo tongkat can make hair loss faster as

Boost hormones massively
How can you check your dht levels?
Oh thanx a mil, Professor Huberman, your fact packed, to the point, no BS explanations are so much help, the lucidity of how you talk to us is probably unparalleled on the net, thanx to you I just ordered some essential supplements, thank you so much.
Just so you know, Dr. Huberman has nothing... ZERO.... to do with this channel. This is just someone ripping clips from Dr. Huberman's channel and adding awful music
L citrulline works way better for me than L arginine. Arginine makes me more tired and doesn't give me the pump that citrulline does
@@nircaimmo8888 Nope, your body just converts L-Citrulline into Arginine to maintain homeostasis, but L-Citrulline has a superior bioavailability
For the people saying creatine doesn’t accelerate hair loss for them, congrats you are simply not predisposed to make pattern baldness triggered by DHT levels. But that’s it, that’s the reason. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t cause it for others.
Salt also helps you body hold more water
Did you forget about caffeine?

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧠 Importance of Electrolytes and Salt
- Ensuring sufficient salt, potassium, and magnesium in your diet is vital for optimal nerve-to-muscle communication and physical performance.
- Electrolyte balance impacts not only physical activities like endurance training but also cognitive tasks such as studying and analytical work.
01:53 💪 Benefits of Creatine Supplementation
- Creatine supplementation, within recommended doses, can significantly enhance muscle power output by 12-20% during activities like sprinting, running, jumping, and weight lifting.
- It aids in better hydration, muscle mass increase, and fatigue reduction, with potential cognitive enhancement effects.
05:33 🏋️ Effects of Beta Alanine on Exercise
- Beta alanine supports exercises of slightly longer duration, improving muscular endurance and anaerobic running capacity, while also reducing fatigue.
- It showcases promising effects on the reduction of body fat and the enhancement of lean mass.
07:10 🏃♂️ Performance Boosters for Endurance Activities
- Beet juice, Arginine, and Citrulline can enhance performance during longer bouts of exercises due to their vasodilation effects, promoting increased blood flow.
- It's important to note potential side effects of Arginine and Citrulline, such as increased cold sore outbreaks, especially for individuals prone to herpes simplex virus (HSV-1).
09:02 🍽️ Importance of Amino Acids and Protein Density
- Consuming 700 to 3000 milligrams of the essential amino acid leucine with each meal aids in supporting muscle synthesis and repair, particularly for muscle hypertrophy and strength.
- Protein density is a crucial factor, with animal proteins being more effective in providing essential amino acids compared to plant-based sources. Eating two to four times a day, ensuring sufficient amino acids, is essential for muscle repair and growth.

The thing that made me a believer in creatine happened when I was not regularly working out. I had strained a bicep muscle picking up something heavy at work and it just would not go away. Then, six months later when I decided to start working out again I started taking creatine and the strain went away within a day or two. So I think it also helps with recovering from injury. It would make sense because the muscles are able to absorb more water.
Potentially, but also one of the worst things anybody can ever do with an injury is to avoid using it at all. This can have the opposite effect, I'm not saying you did this at all. But it is essential to flood an injured area with blood to accelerate recovery, obviously proceed with caution.
And if it's a joint, flooding the area with blood to the supporting muscles and synovial fluid (the lubricating fluid of our joints) to speed up recovery.
Good thing you started working out again.
Yes, it allows cells to carry more water and nutrients, more nutrients equals faster recovery.
Yeah I've been telling everyone for years not to avoid salt
garbage music too loud why music zzzzz
More people told us, will lower the volume by a lot in future video’s, thanks for the feedback!
Wtf? 15 g of Creatin a day? There are a lot of studies which say everything over 3-5 g is pointless.
To be fair it is relation to body mass. If there literally more of you for the creatine to get around it makes sense. But yes if you're an average size I would agree that more than 5g would be passed in urine and poop
I always have a protein smoothie as breakfast before working out. Should I add salt to it? None of the ingredients I use have added salt
Yeah sounds great, 2-4grams while drinking 0,5l should do the work!
At 7:18, why is citrulline blurred out?
No joke I coul feel the effects of creating when I started taking it
Amino acids over protein with a vegan diet is the way to got, its alot easier for the body to break down amino acids than protein and i found by following a vegan diet was alot easier to gain muscle than on an omnivorous diet because your body doesn't require as much protein. You get all your amino acids from Raw Fruits and vegs, once you cook vegs you lose them acids. Just take a look at Gorillaz, they don't have any protein except for the occasional grub but all in all they are ripped on a plant based diet.
But we have enough salt in our food? Is that Right ?
Electrolytes changed my workouts 👍🏼
Salt - this seems strange to me since most people in the US consume a lot of salt through processed food, adding salt, adding seasoning that is predominantly salt...
I can understand the need for potassium and magnesium because a lot of diets lack those nutrients.
It's all the other garbage in processed food that makes it unhealthy like sugar, processed seed oils and preservatives. Salt in itself is a crucial electrolyte. If someone is severely dehydrated, a teaspoon of salt dissolved in a serving of water will hydrate them much more than just the water.
Likewise a patient in hospital who is dehydrated and too weak to physically drink will be given an IV drip with saline solution
Creatine is no longer a cheap supplement.
If you can’t afford 40$ then no supplement will be cheap for you 😂
Bro I got 500g for 20$ , VS legit brand and everything, not sponsoring just sayin it is cheap
Thanks Joe Biden
not true! you can get 90 days of raw creatine for like 30$ just make sure you’re not getting creatine that looks cool and has a bunch of additives in it, also if you’re a college athlete some of those additives can make you ineligible.
Just got 200 servings of kre alkyn for 45? That’s cheap
My doctor says creatine is hard adds extra strain on the kidneys and so does not recommend it.
Absolutely phenomenal content. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge 🙏
Lol none of these will help you build more muscle it’s all about how much fat,carbs and protien you intake
This is why everyone should take Himalayan salt before working out. I have some straight mined from secret caves.
I hate taking beta alanine , it irritates the skin to the point I want to rip my clothes off
You 100 percent don't need more salt! Salt is basically in everything you are consuming, you need way more potassium
If your consuming processed foods sure. If you're eating whole foods you need to be seasoning with salt.
u still taking creatine supplements with High Uric Acid Levels?
- Electrolytes aren't supplements
- Creatine is the most common supplement in fitness. Everybody's heard of it.
Neither is protein. But you can supplement it…

Doc seems knowledgeable but why play the music in the background? Completely unnecessary and distracting. When you talk, talk. Don’t pay background music. Thanks.
Absolutely! Salt isn't just about adding flavor to food; it plays a vital role in our nervous system's communication and helps maintain peak physical performance. Our bodies rely on sodium ions to transmit nerve impulses, allowing muscles to contract and ensuring proper function of the heart and other organs. It's essential to strike the right balance in salt intake for overall health and well-being!
Nothing new or interesting here. And don't expect "massive" hypertrophy from these supplements. These things barely even move the needle.
I like this channel, but you really dont need clickbaits - you ve never heard of... I bet at least 50% here know about the stuff
AI said:
Creatine is the better supplement for muscle growth, muscle strength, athletic performance, muscle fatigue, and recovery. However, leucine is a good choice for those who are looking for a supplement that is specifically designed for muscle growth.
Can we ease off the music a bit... Felt like a lot was going on.
We will! Future video’s will have lower volume!
Very dangerous clip. Like you’re clueless how bad this information is. Our society intakes massive amounts of salt without knowing. We need LESS salt, not more and not in the amounts we’re currently consuming 🤮
I’m glad someone brought light to the hair loss with creatine. Doesn’t effect everyone or the majority. But definitely effects some people including myself.
Andrew Huberman really covers everything related to a subject! Very interesting man to listen to!
I agree on this. I was one of those who got effected by hair loss
@@suhasrb2396 sorry to hear! I can understand that is really a bad side effect! Does is stop when you stop Creatine or does the loss keep on going afterwards? I haven’t seen it in my surroundings so I am curious how that works out.
It's true that DHT has an effect on hair loss if someone has the genetic predisposition to it, but later studies on creatine seem to differ in the fact that creatine converts testosterone into DHT.
@@HubermanHUB yes. It accelerated my hair loss to a visible level where I could see my scalp. It does stop the acceleration of hair loss once I stop it.
I tried using it 3 times for a period of 2 months with each use being 6 months apart and a dose of 5 g/day. All the 3 times I experienced hair loss. I used 3 different reputed brands each time, and the results were the same. I'm genetically predisposed to hair loss. Alopecia.

Btw there is a guy on utube posting all your videos called “ Mindset mentor “ why other do this it’s not his work ! Not trying to stir up 💩 lol
Creatine is amazing I don't know if it belongs on a list of supplements people haven't heard of at this point it's probably the most studied and talked about but it is great for building muscle. Except if you're not extremely careful with getting one that is highly absorbable and one that has too many heavy metal toxins which so many supplements do, there's so much garbage on the market, ... It could potentially lead to destroying your gut being really hard on your digestion. And in some cases it will increase hair loss if you're someone who is already susceptible
Anyone have any advice on foods with high magnesium content? I could always Google it but I’d rather ask the brotherhood
Better off just getting magnesium in tablets. Can get almost a year supply for around $40. The amount of food you have to eat to get a decent amount of it- better off taking them as supplements imo.
You misspelled, "citrulline."
Wooops! Did a double check but I guess I missed it twice😅 thanks for saying though☺️
Content is good but feedback for publishing future videos, turn down or don’t use music in your background. Very distracting and difficult to listen to what is actually being said. It provides no positive experience in the video
Take the background music off
Oh man, I thought it was settled outside that one rugby player study creatine does _not_ increase DHT.
exactly
I am kind of new to this and bought Creatine like 2 years ago, but never used it because I am the only male in my family who still has ok hair in his thirties and is not balding. So I am afraid it will start the balding. I am more of a runner (did a few marathons) and started a little bit of lifting recently and I am really wondering if I should take Creatine. Hmm, any suggestions?
@@joedo3529 LOL, when I was in my 20's and the guys in the gym were all doing steroids, the main reason I didn't was to keep my hair. And I did. If you're prone to MPB, creatine may accelerate it. If not, it probably won't. So, if you do "a little bit" of lifting, it's obviously not your priority, I'd skip the creatine. I asked my urologist if I could use it (I had BPH at a young age) and he said, "no way."
@@joedo3529 creatine is quite pointless if you are not specialised in maximal strength. It also have some negative effects on kidneys (which alone could be rather marginal tbh) and if you are into endurance, you need kidneys to be in great condition.

Loading creatine is the biggest shit. After a week every time under the shower i had my entire hand full with hair every time i went tru. Took about two weeks till it stopped
Well then it has to be a trade-off then, in some it causes hair loss but I for one cannot imagine hitting my PR and trying to go beyond without C. Good crea gives me as good as up to 5-10 per cent edge, meaning I can at times be that much stronger thanx to its consumption pre workout.

I have been doing this for about a year, my muscles seem to be growing rapidly and overall am very happy with my routine, but when I hear about Peter Attia eating four meals a day with 40g protein each, I wonder if I should increase my protein.

Stick to Neuroscience.
Why is the word "citrulline" (sp?) blurred out likes it's a swear word?
So I’m 170 lbs and I’ve been training for hypertrophy. I’ve been doing 10,000 mg of creatine a day should I cut it back to 5,000?
Also how much sodium is a good level for someone that weight?
I realize that Dr. Huberman is specifically talking about supplements in this video. But I do worry that some viewers may walk away with the wrong impression. Supplements are not the answer to health and fitness for the vast majority of people.
Dr. Huberman has myriad long-form videos on a wide range of topics. They're outstanding. And there is so much knowledge to be gained from watching them.
However, for the masses, I think it's more important to focus on the critical basics. Those basics include getting sufficient and high-quality sleep (easier said than done for many people), eating a variety of healthy foods, ensuring you are doing both resistance and cardio training (even if just walking), and actively working to reduce your stress levels.
In Andrew's videos, he and his always-excellent guests offer all sorts of research-based details on both these foundational items and so many more topics.
But much of his content comes back to those core tenets of health and fitness. If we could nail those, we would be doing more for the benefit of our lives and bodies than most any supplement could offer.
I love salt and I am never afraid of consuming it. I don't care. It has a bunch of minerals the body needs
Totally agree with you on this one!
salt is poison on so many diffrent levels. there is a war going on, sodium is a killer
Salt isnt glamorous to people that have believed the negative lies about salt for the past 50 years

Since I was diagnosed with high blood pressure I have eliminated added salt and salty foods. Dropped my pressure down from mid 140 to low 120. Feel great, but never realised it could detrimental to building muscle. I struggle with gaining muscle so might consider adding a bit more salt into my diet.
I would get some advise from your health expert before adding the salt! Safety first☺️
Salt doesn't cause high blood pressure. Lack of potassium, magnesium and calcium causes high blood pressure. You need a magnesium supplement, potassium from fruits, and vitamin D and magnesium along with vitamin K will put calcium in the right places in your body. Salt is not your enemy. Salt just needs its buddies to support him.

Anybody know a good clean source for creatine supplements derived from an animal source? All I can find are vegetarian stuff that I don't want.
Why you editors add stupid background music in every edit 😖
am 68 with excellent blood pressure and I love salt
Himalayan salt is key. Table and iodized salt are trash
Why
I use salt, creatine, boron (borax). MSM, healthy fats, quality protein foods.
People wanting to lose fat &/or gain muscle do not
need to be in a caloric surplus 😊
Nothing can replace the nutrient, protien, amino acids of meat. Also nutrients, vitamins, etc are fat soluable.
Even if none of these supplements that I'm taking which is most in the video work. The placebo is what works, I keep consistent and I know when I'm working out there's no excuse because I'm doing everything right, and that's what works for me
That's good but these are shown to work for most people beyond placebo. Most will be beneficial to your work.
Not placebo effect, these are supported by placebo randomized controlled trials
This guy is a genius
So if you’re 40 pounds more double or triple the dose. No. 5 grams a day. Too much can cause severe painful stomach cramps.
can you stay on creatine forever? or do you need to cycle it on / off . Thanks, amazing content, subscribed
Cycle I do 2 months on 1 month off you can also do 2 and 2 depending how much you work out
@@christianberg4081 That's some bullshit. You don't cycle creatine. That's totally pointless. You should take creatine no matter if you have a rest day or a training day. 5g and day. Be consistent.
actually the music is not too loud. it is the speaker that varies his loudness that is the problem. you can solve this issue by throwing an audio compressor on the voice recording
Thank you very much for the tip! I will check out!
Doesn't seem like salt would be an issue since especially in Western countries people have up to 20 times the salt they need and all the salty processed food and fast food and restaurant food it's all very high in salt. Which also makes people retain water and look all puffy and fat.
research on hair loss has shown this is not an issue
What's up with the random loud background music....?
