So...
I would love to say yes.
But again, the movement of exercise.
But the nice thing is for those willing to do, you know, is it resistance bands?
Anything that you feel mechanical stress, creatine will give you a slightly greater benefit.
But for those that are in jeopardy of chronic disease, I think you should consider it.
Absolutely.
There's a little bit down to the testes.
So any organ that only has the enzymes to make it, so since it's made in the liver and brain, it'll be dispersed to other areas.
So the interesting thing is the area that it's created, it goes through circulation to different transporters.
So male fertility has become a big issue.
And there was a thought that, oh, creatine, since sperm relies, it's a flagella, so since sperm are relying for movement on creatine so much, maybe it's down-regulating the
Sperm production and my good colleague out of Norway, Serge Osjok, who's one of the world's best creating researchers, has looked at this in many forms and not showing any effect of anything.
It improves the vitality and mobility of sperm.
So that could have huge implications for male fertility.
So, yeah, it's an area that you probably would never think of, but it's an area that has shown some evidence based research behind it.
Yeah.
So again, that could have applications for individuals trying to start a family or male fertility issues.
We don't see any down regulation.
There's a thought of taking in supplementation.
