Known effective dose. Yeah.

Yeah, so what you'd see in general with caffeine is you have a cognitive benefit. All right, people are aware of that. Alert, focused, so on and so forth. But there's a several decades of research on the physical performance benefits. So in general, endurance performance is enhanced and things like that.

With tea cream, you saw many of the cognitive stuff, as you mentioned, but the physical stuff, I actually, I don't think I've seen a single paper that's shown a physical benefit yet. Maybe I've missed some, but none are there. So I've used it personally. I know I'm not a huge personal fan of caffeine. So Teocrine was appealing in that sense.

I don't really like stimulants in general, but I didn't have a huge thing there. I have friends, though. Love it. Completely love it. They've gone completely off caffeine and are pure tea cream. And I know other folks have put it in a mix and combination, maybe 50 mg of caffeine and 150 of tea cream or something like that.

My answer to them is always like if you feel great for those ones, if you're amazing, I just don't anticipate too much performance benefit from it. Not exactly sure why. I don't know if you have any thoughts on why caffeine does it. But tea cream doesn't.

Yeah.

Yeah.

500 mg of caffeine. Yeah.

500 mg of caffeine. Yeah.

You start getting past that, you start getting in the negative. Like there's a downslope with too much caffeine with performance.

Yeah, we'll see. Okay, so we hand-run a couple of those ones. I would love to get – I was hoping we'd get the chance to talk about some of the vascular work you've done in creatine, but maybe we'll save that for another day. Is there maybe – you've done a couple of papers or you've worked on some papers in that area, right? Can you give us a quick response to that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how I'm familiar with it for the most part.

I had heard word on the street, you were working on some vascular stuff with creatine. So I was hoping to pull that out of you, but okay, we'll have to use the review and the plausible mechanisms. I would be surprised if we don't see positive benefits there. Maybe not in your study because the study design or maybe it doesn't, it doesn't.
