And I got to believe a participant would say, I'm not taking this anymore.

My hair's falling out.

And I do know, I can't talk about it because I'm not sure, but I do know that there's been a paper submitted that have looked directly at hair follicle loss and thinning with creatine supplementation.

It's in review right now.

But if I had to have a magical guess...

it doesn't affect hair follicle loss or thinning.

So if people are watching me, they're like, oh, and then they look at other creatine researchers.

I can blame my parents and primarily my mother for that, for the maternal DNA.

Um, but then there's other people with full heads of hair, so it can't be a cure.

It's like carbohydrates cause obesity.

That's nonsensical.

It's, it's, everybody's different.

Um, but I still get this on a daily basis, both from males and females.

They don't want to take it or their hair is thinning.

And, um,

I'm really glad that this study is coming out because the way we should have answered this is we don't know.

Until a study emphatically says, no, we didn't see any of the effects, we would have to say we don't have any evidence to suggest it does, and we don't have any evidence to suggest it doesn't.

And even when the study gets published, we'll probably have to do multiple, but it just has never been done.

No rodent studies, nothing.

I think it's an area that people said no one cared about, and then all of a sudden everybody cared about it.
