Yeah, and we don't have a data set that would show that.
Like, where's the body count from growth hormone?
Like, the bodybuilder body counts are from other compounds.
Oh, they're doing everything.
Yeah, exactly.
I mean, when you go into a gym, you can tell who's doing growth hormone versus not based on their skin shining.
I see.
You see a 45-year-old dude that's through somatopause but has perfect young skin and there's Botox and all the other things involved.
But you can tell there's that growth hormone look.
The hair looks a little bit healthier because growth hormone favors the conversion of T4 to T3.
So it changes the thyroid dynamics.
It can have progesticular effects as well from the IGF-1 perspective.
So there's a lot of, you know, youthful effects to it.
The question is, is that...
then a good idea to replace it.
Traditionally, like the medical field is kind of anti using these secretogogs to augment somatopause.
But I think there's going to be a role for it, perhaps cyclically, because I don't think anything in nature is re-around.
So what if you did a cyclical cycle of, and this is not medical advice, but theoretical, cyclical cycle of tesamorelin for a certain amount of time, got your IGF-1 to a certain level under clinician guidance, measured
your thymus on an MRI before and after, and then you saw that the thymus grew and you had, you know, higher CD4, CD8 count, that would be pretty interesting.
It would be interesting.
