How is creatine adding to that?

So you think just supplementing with creatine by itself, even if you're doing eight grams, isn't really going to necessarily affect your bone health if you're not doing any weight-bearing exercise?

Yeah.

Even considering preventing the activation of these osteoclasts that are breaking down the bone?

Right.

Yeah.

What about someone who is, let's say, a postmenopausal woman who's experiencing some perhaps osteopenia?

Yes.

Do you think before trying some of these other standard of care treatments like bisphosphates, for example, you mentioned doing the weight-bearing training and the creatine, perhaps 8 grams or 10 grams a day would be a good first line of defense to try before trying some of these other drugs that do have negative side effects?

Well, prevention is obviously, I think, the key, right?

If we can encourage people before they're experiencing massive breakdown of their bone or osteoporosis, osteopenia.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It is.

You know, when you...

When you hear the word creatine, you think about like the gym bro, right?

Like, I mean, it's like you're taking the creatine and trying to get, you know, their muscles bigger.

And the reality is, is that, you know, women, women are also very susceptible to, I mean, they were susceptible to, you know, losing muscle mass and strength, but bone is a big one.

I mean, it seems like it'd be very important for that population of people in particular.
