Just the sucrose.

Yeah. We would mix it. And then one of the things I was like – So sugar, water or this?

So calorie matched and we were doing – Macronutrient matched. Macronutrient matched and they – I was hopeful that we would see maybe like, oh, you don't have to get up so early and it's lasting so long. So the only thing we did see, which was kind of neat, was that you did have an increase in carbohydrate burning in the morning, which theoretically could help with performance.

It didn't translate to it in our hands.

In other studies, we fed chocolate milk before sleep and different things. And it's the same thing. You're still burning a bunch of carbohydrates in the morning. And that may be able to translate to performance, but we haven't seen it yet. We haven't been able to tease that out in a running example.

Yeah, and that was exactly what was happening, but perhaps we didn't have – something wasn't right. Maybe the dosing was wrong because even with protein you have to do – the ideal dose is 40 grams, which is bigger than a lot of people are used to because you're going so long until you're using it again. Like all night long you have to have it.

So maybe with carbohydrate we just needed a bigger dose.

I appreciate it. It's great to do, though. I mean, that's the luxury of having a facility and a location where we can have the funding and the resources to do some of those studies. And a team. And the team's all about it. And I think everybody comes in knowing kind of the general areas we're going to go in. And we're all in.

I told you earlier, we're trying to create this culture that you go into a research lab and

I told you earlier, we're trying to create this culture that you go into a research lab and

for example if you go into an athletics facility you usually see all the all the swag and all the things it just feels good right and so I love that I want to replicate that as best I can in research where you come into the facility you know here we're going to do great work but it's also going to look nice and we're going to have things that make you want to be a part of what we're doing and it works I mean the students buy in the faculty that are present buy in the research subjects want to be there instead of just you know stuck in a basement that's got no windows you know it's just a great it's a great spot
