Yeah.
There's so many.
I think the big one that the big one we're getting a lot is does it increase hypertension or blood pressure?
Because if it increases water into the body, could that have any effects?
And we're not seeing any adverse effects there.
The other one is we do not see any evidence that disrupts sleep.
Although we talked about the study earlier, it doesn't have any negative effects there.
And then cancer.
So this is an area that is difficult to answer or talk about because we just don't have a lot of human cellular data.
From the in vitro data, we're not seeing any in humans, at least from recommended dosages, any malignant growth or any cancer effects.
promotion if anything we're seeing anti-cancer properties from improving inflammatory or anti-inflammatory responses there and in our latest paper the myths and misconceptions part two one of the world's best creatine researchers and medical doctor mark tarnopolsky read really good section on that so if anybody's interested read that and it seems to have some potential for cancer rehabilitation when you're looking at tissue loss caxia seems to have some beneficial effects there and
I'm collaborating with Kieran Fairman in University of South Carolina looking at prostate and breast cancer rehabilitation.
So I think you're going to start to see some medical applications growing more than just young, healthy individuals.
Again, the common denominators, all these are sort of asking something for help.
It's either rehabilitation or prevention.
And that's where I think creatine has really changed.
It used to be for just young individuals who are healthy.
And now it seems to have some of these health aspects.
So very exciting times to be talking about it.
