So the Yukon, the superstarch didn't do much in, what, four studies you did in that area? Three, yeah. Three different studies. I have personally used resistance starches. Mostly, candidly, I've pretty much used Vitargo for the most part, which is a slightly different – But similar concept here with a lot of success in totally different applications and totally different scenarios than you.

So I think perhaps, I don't know, are you going to continue that research line or you feel like you got that answer solved?

A hundred percent.

A hundred percent.

I'm sure you have plenty of questions about that. The post-extreme caloric restriction, so weight cutting scenarios in different sports we've used it in, as a very fast recharge, if you will, as a part, it's not your first line. But many different scenarios, other extreme, I'll just say scenarios folks are in where fuel is going to be very limited and unpredictable. And these can be benefits.

But I would agree. I would love to see you and Vitargo, I guess, kind of contact Mike and maybe you guys can come up with some cool stuff. But more work for sure is needed in that area.

Yeah, yeah. I mean, this is the beauty of how our field works. You said this just a few minutes ago. Clinical influences the science. The science sometimes influences the clinical. So you have a lot of clinicians and athletes and folks making comments. And great, let's bring it to the lab. Let's see.

And that's not to ruin it, to end it, to say it doesn't work, but it's simply to say maybe it doesn't do A, B, and C.

Yeah, 100%. So we went from protein, we went to carbohydrate. Let's go on actually to a little bit of a different macronutrient-ish, collagen. I know you've done work in this area. In fact, you were telling me earlier, I didn't realize this, but your one study was the longest ever study done in collagen. Is that right? In humans, of course. Yeah, nine months. So there's a lot going on.

And I'll actually be honest, my answer has changed. On collagen, probably in the last 9 to 12 months. I know, I remember, and I'll save names here, but people have been talking about collagen specifically for soft tissue injury. And work there initially came, of course, out of animal, mice, and urine models, and other things.

And I'm generally a person who says, until it's at least somewhat shown in humans, I'm not gonna say it doesn't work. I'm just not really gonna be concerned of it. I think it's really important that people understand where they are at personally on that line.

So you have kind of over on one end of the spectrum, unless it's been shown in five randomized control, double-blind placebo studies, I'm not taking it. Okay, fine. I personally don't live in that world. I deal with most of the athletes and clients are never gonna have a randomized control trial on them, population-wise.
