Those on a healthy plant-based diet with elevated homocysteine levels despite taking sufficient vitamin B12 may want to consider taking a gram a day of contaminant-free creatine.

OK, so where do you get contaminant-free creatine? You can’t rely on supplement manufacturers no matter what they say, since the regulation is so lax, so I would recommend going directly to the chemical suppliers that sell it to laboratories and guarantee a certain purity. Here are some examples from some of the largest companies in alphabetical order where you can get unadulterated creatine: • Alfa Aesar (https://ift.tt/3bBbaFU) • Fisher Scientific (https://ift.tt/326HwFu) • Sigma-Aldrich (https://ift.tt/3bBGHax) • TCI America (https://ift.tt/2Fdrssx) Have a question about this video?
