with every student uh cramming for the leaving cert or whatever.

They they might take a shot of a Rexin to improve their concentration.

And again there's evidence that this can actually do that, you know, possibly in a in a safe way.

So what they're talking about now is expanding it out beyond just not falling asleep into things like paying attention, concentrating, you know, staying awake in a really vivid way, you might call it, you know, and improving brain function that way.

And again the parallel you're right.

But those empig is remarkable 'cause that's now been seen to use for things like addiction, uh beyond obesity, you know, effects on the heart and the kidneys.

That's that's what they're saying at the moment.

It could could go well beyond things like narcolepsy into other situations.
