If we're talking about the nervous system, we know that NAD has been used for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. It's also been used for drug and alcohol addiction and to help with lessening the withdrawal symptoms. We also know it helps with depression, it helps with anxiety. It helps with insomnia as well. Patients who get NAD actually tell us that for the next two, three days, they have more energy, but they also sleep much better at night. There is recent data that shows that there is also a place for NAD in detoxification from antidepressants and from anxiolytics. And as you know, we've had an issue with opiates recently, and we're seeing that issue with antidepressants and anxiolytics as well, where people are now addicted to antidepressants and anxiolytic, and it's very hard for them to. To stop them.
