And what's the dose on some of those?

So the 20 gram a day loading phase and then the maintenance phase being?

About five grams.

Okay.

Yeah.

And if someone's already taking, let's say, 5 or 10 grams a day and then they're going to have a surgery, do they still need to do the loading or should they just continue on?

Okay, so it sounds like, you know, in most cases, you know, the creatine plus the training, resistance training or endurance training is the key.

But in some situations when there's just a massive amount of stress from, you know, perhaps an injury or surgery or sleep deprivation, creatine can shine on its own.

Is that correct?

Yeah, exercise is definitely the most important thing.

But I know I'm going to ask you to speculate a little bit here, but let's say you do have an older adult who is sedentary, and just getting up out of a chair is hard.

It can be challenging.

Do you think that even supplementing with creatine in that –

maybe help them a little bit more?

So another question of mine, you were talking about where creatine transporters are, where it's synthesized.

You mentioned it's created in the liver and the brain.

But you mentioned it goes to the testes.

And that was going to be my question.

Is it affecting fertility?

It seems like it improves it.
