So PT-141, what they found is in rats, I think it was, female rats were copulating more when they got this compound. And they're like, oh, cool, and let's try it in humans. And it's led to that. Our trouble with it is a very small or narrow therapeutic window. And if you give too much, you're going to get nauseous pretty quickly. Yeah.

Yeah. And to touch on that is what we found is if we start with, again, a microdose and go slowly with the GLP-1s, The knowledge is virtually unheard of. Not saying it doesn't occur, but it's super rare if you just take your time with it. I think when people have most problems, they're shotgunning the dose, essentially. You're overwhelming your system.

Because peptides came on the scene and people started using them. They're recommended here and there. People could get them from, still can, research companies. And there's not a lot of corralling of understanding, well, what is going on? So I'm sure there's an element to like, hey, let's understand this better. But on that side, I think they went too far, right?
