And then, of course, if it sort of increases osteoblasts potential, then

maybe the recycling of bone gets stronger.

It's kind of like laying a foundation of a house.

The bricks are stronger.

You're sort of putting the bricks together a little bit faster and then inclement weather is not chopping away the bricks or the cement.

So that's how we theorize it was working.

And there's been about 15 studies now showing that it has a lot of anti-resorptive effects.

So think of anti-catabolic to the bone.

We have not shown in a single study an increased bone mineral density.

So this is really crucial.

We are not saying that creatine and weight training increases bone mineral density, but it certainly decreases bone mineral density loss and really specifically around the hip region, which is crucially important for a lot of older adults because when they fall, if they land on their hip, they could be more susceptible to fracture.

So there's a lot of anti-catabolic effects.

And we've just shown in a long-term clinical trial that improved bone strength.

So picture a pen or pencil.

You can't crack it as much there.

I think weight training is the main driver when it comes to bone.

The more muscle you have from an indirect perspective, there's more muscle pulling on bone.

So that's very beneficial.

Look at gymnasts.

They have
