Some people have a little drop in blood sugar.

because it activates PPR alpha, PPR gamma, so it'll have positive metabolic effects.

So that's something to keep an eye on.

Some people even had their A1Cs drop.

So hypoglycemics and other people with blood sugar issues take extra caution.

Yes, and then very vivid dreams.

For some people, that could be disheartening if they have nightmares or something like that.

But very, very vivid dreams as a result of a pinellon, especially the color and the quality of the dreams is very different than you'd normally expect.

What seems to be happening is like, just like, you know, psychedelics change the redox state of the brain.

Pinelon is doing something similar where you're getting more alertness during the day.

Like you don't wake up with as much brain fog, at least anecdotally.

You get better performance during like high intensity interval training.

And then you get more REM sleep at night because the neurons are in a better oxidative state thanks to the PPR alpha, PPR gamma, iris, and all these different pathways that it's modulating with no clear one, you know, receptor that it's doing it through.

It's a big kind of debatable thing in the pineal research.

If you look at the pineal gland Wikipedia, it's very underdeveloped, let's say, because it's kind of woo-woo.

Like when you think of pineal gland, you think of someone who's going to sell you- No neuroscientist chooses to work on the pineal gland.

It's not very sexy, yeah.

But I think it's a key aspect of aging and longevity.

So that's what gives us our interest in it.

The pineal gland, it seems from Cavendish's work that the decrease in pineal gland function with aging is more of a physiologic than a anatomic problem.
