Yep, usually used for those with cholesterol issues - there may be a bodybuilding application as well.

One of the goals in activating an anabolic state is creatine a brief, controlled state of catabolism. Since most of you have BP, you'll know where this fits in. RYR is a natural statin, and can thus increase muscle tissue breakdown.

You need to go VERY careful with this stuff, due to concerns about raising Creatine Kinase (CK) too high/Rhabdomyolosis. Personally, I'd leave it alone unless you're having trouble "feeling" Famine.

Most of course, don't... :o
