From the stories that we're hearing too, supplements for doctors, the doctors who are prescribing them and getting involved in the products, it's becoming like a bit of a revenue stream for them. And, you know, I had a friend who said their doctor came up to them in the grocery store, didn't ask anything about how they were doing or whatever, and said, why'd you stop buying your supplements for me?

What's crazy is you're getting that, right? But like the consumers are so much making their own decisions about the supplements. So they're never even touching a doctor that knows that. So there's just so much risk out there with them not you know, having that information at their fingertips in a self-directed way.
