I could go and skate and fall and hit my head or skiing or whichever, and maybe that would help accelerate recovery.

Yeah.

I'm taking it just for any chance to have some potential brain benefits.

But the big area is it does increase the recovery aspects of concussion.

So NFL, NCAA, especially down here in the United States, trillion dollar industry.

I got to believe these players are taking creatine instantly.

In anticipation, I know the quarterback for the Dolphins, I think he's had three concussions this year.

So his brain is so compromised right now, massive inflammation.

Hopefully his medical team is at least considering high dose with his other treatment program to get there.

So, yeah.

That's an excellent question.

And the answer would probably be no, because when we go on the scale, we don't consider the head, even when we do DEXA scans, it's headless.

So, you know, if I'm 80 kilograms, I'm taking about, there's the sweet spot, about 80.

nine to 10 grams a day, taking it from a weight perspective to correlate to the brain is almost impossible because we need to measure the weight.

And where it's a hard tissue, it's a little bit soft, but it's usually hard tissue.

I think overall body weight, very similar to how people do protein based on lean mass or a total body structure.

So you can take creatine based on lean body mass, but it's very difficult.

You would have to have some type of imaging apparatus.

So we just usually recommend it on body mass.

They hit all the aspects of them.
