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.


I was googling the various dosages of capsaicin, because I can' figure out which is more potent, .0.25% or .1%. I'm not good at math computations. Never was. But logically I said to myself "well, 25 is higher than 1, so 0.25% has to be stronger than .1% but what the heck do I know?

But... as I was googling this information I stumbled upon a clinical trial of using capsaicin as a treatment for idiopathic pruritus ani.

Well!!! I looked up idiopathic pruritus ani and I said "whoa, are they serious? using capsaicin treatment for that part of the body?"

They have to be kidding. But the findings were that it helped.

I do not understand this.

Mel, .1% is 4 times stronger than .025%.

Capsaicin is very very potent, so very small amounts are used and go a long way.

Whoa!!! That's a lot of capsaicin. I need to go back and re-learn my math.

Thanks much
