A hundred percent. And actually there's a systematic review and meta-analysis showing an anti-fatigue effect with hydrogen water. And we have a couple of really cool studies that I know I briefly told you about that are in press right now on the H2 tabs, right? Showing remarkable benefits. So in the first, and they were in completely different study populations.

So the first one was a shorter term study. I think it was four weeks. It was in Olympic athletes and it was done in Russia. And they were taking two tablets in 16.8 ounces or 500 milliliters a day, you know, before and after training. And we improved body composition in these Olympic athletes, which was incredible. But we also improved their peak torque on leg extension at the end of the trial.

And more significantly after they'd exercised and warmed up, showing the anti-fatigue effect. Wow, so they took it during exercise. Right before and right after. Right before and right after. And we have another trial in the opposite study population. This was a 50 plus group.

And I was actually just, I was one of the authors on both of these, but I was just in Milan, Italy at Aspen at a conference presenting this study, you know, with the corresponding author. And so these 50-plus people who had no adult experience with exercise, they were very out of shape, so much so that they were starting doctor-guided exercise protocols to try and turn their lives around.

Yeah, there's a huge deconditioned population right now. Exactly. And this was, off memory, I think it was six weeks, six or eight weeks, I can't quite remember. But it was, again, double-blind, placebo-controlled. And in the placebo group, we actually saw... some very concerning things. They were borderline rhabdomyolysis. So the stress from the exercise, um, dysregulated their cortisol response.

It increased, uh, um, myoglobin by 11, a hundred percent, right? So 11 times, um, it increased creatine kinase by like seven times, 700%. They had serious. That's where they get the kidney issues with rhabdo. Exactly. Oh, and with the hydrogen group, and we actually saw this too in the Olympians, it didn't raise the creatine kinase at all, no significant rise.

So we had no significant rise in creatine kinase or myoglobin. We regulated the cortisol.
