Yeah, okay.
You mentioned really quickly there a couple of ways of how it could theoretically work. I know that this is early in the field. It's 10 years old at best. You got some publications you're working on. Surely others are. But outside of handling heat stressβ more effectively. Can you think of any other known or plausible benefits of it as a supplement?

It is available in many, many supplements right now.

You wonder if it has plausible benefit for endurance folks, not even extreme stuff, the ultra stuff, which could be the case, but even a soccer game in the heat. A baseball game, probably not as much, but any real outdoor activity from a sporting perspective where you're going to be in a lot of heat. I don't know if there's any data on that, but it's plausible.

Wow. Awesome. That's a super interesting one. I have RSS alerts on my PubMed for that. I'm like looking for something to come out in that area. So I know I'll see your firefighter study the day that it hits there. Maybe you can send me a reminder text, but I'll read it. No, either way, man. You got it.

Let's go from that to another similar sounding supplement that you've done some work in that people, again, lots of stuff out there, but people haven't heard about it. And that's theocrine or theocrine. So tell us about that, what you've done in there, and maybe even just start us off by telling us what the heck it even is.

Right. So it's spelled, by the way, here, so it's like one H versus the not. Yes. H in there, basically. Very similar. Like T, like T-E-A-C-R-I-N-E. Right. Theocrine.

Oh, man, the days.

So can I take it and get the benefits but not have the crash, the jitters?

Known effective dose. Yeah.
