Mel,
The PN community is an untapped resource for marketing of 'new' products.
Most aren't new, but re-worked formulas from older products that didn't catch on.
Someone, somewhere is determined to 'mine' this resource.
But they all ain't Kosher.
There is no reason to keep 'proprietary' ingredients or percentages off labels other than to admit its an older product re-worked, to those who read labels.
And us PN'ers do read labels if'n we know what's good for us.
I cannot tolerate the pepper extract products and
want to know if a product contains it.
Otherwise, I not only have wasted my money,
but subjected myself to unnecessary pain- or worse.
If'n they ain't up front with the label, they've got something to hide & I don't like doing business with 'Sneaky Pete's'.
The PN community is constantly being 'mined' to try to pry our hard earned and SSDI or retirement dollars away from us.
