Interesting. Never thought about it topically @Starcrossed

I cook with it periodically, but as a flavor palette it gets old for me. I’m not super concerned about it being organic truthfully. I’m more concerned whether the gummy packs enough punch to be effective in any way. Ex: I use magnesium to chill out sometimes. I have this magnesium lemonade drink I really like. Figured I’d try a magnesium supplement. Didn’t do anything at all. @SW-User

Yeah, I usually shy away from the supplements for that reason, but my stepmother strongly recommended them after living with chronic pain for years. She’s a rather discerning woman who I would not describe at all as someone drawn to snake oil remedies or optimism haha. i’m still holding off judgment though. For all I know, this could’ve just been a lucky week and in the near future I’ll be curled into a ball 😅@MrBrownstone

@WhateverWorks Pharmaceutical companies are out for profits. You don’t hear about natural remedies for that reason.

I don’t know about that. Granted, it’s definitely regional influenced, but where I live practically everyone loves the natural remedies market along with cannabis as the cure-all. I personally am not anti-holistic or anti-pharmaceutical. I will say that I’ve had less luck with natural remedies than the western medicine options to treat issues. That said, I live a generally healthy life. I’m sure a lot of people would benefit from major lifestyle changes and improved nutrition/sleep/exercises etc. things Western medicine doesn’t prioritize enough. @MrBrownstone
