So how would you adjust, let's say, you're taking 10 grams of creatine per day and you're wanting the benefits of muscle, bone, brain, as do I. However, I do not weigh as much as you do.

So would you, is there a scalable amount per kilogram body weight you think would be something that, or is it hard?

That makes sense.

And it really does seem like there's this sort of triaging where it's like, okay, the muscles consuming it.

It's like the greedy one.

And then whatever's left over, maybe the bone.

But if the brain's stressed, maybe, you know, it's funny how the body can figure that out.

Like, no, the brain needs it.

So.

There's some interesting research that you also published kind of in the brain area is sleep, right?

And I'd love for you to talk about that study.

I thought it was so interesting, these resistance training females, and you gave them creatine, and it really seemed to help improve their sleep on training day.

And it's almost kind of the opposite of what we were just talking about.

We were talking about if you're in this context where you're jet lagged, you're sleep deprived, and you take the creatine and it kind of helps you get over that brain fog that like, you know, you're not quite on your game.

You know, the other thing I was thinking about, Darren, was, I mean, so adenosine.

Is there a role?

Because, I mean, it's downstream of ATP, right?

So I'm wondering if there's any role, because adenosine is something that does make you sleepy.

Well, let's go back to the brain and talk about another.

So we talked about brain aging, you know, traumatic brain injury, which is stress.
