Never forget.

Never forget.

25 years ago, America lost nearly 3,000 lives on 9/11.

Thousands of first responders risked everything to save others, with many suffering devastating health consequences for years afterward.

At a time of deep division, 9/11 reminds us that our shared humanity and love for our fellow Americans will always be stronger than what divides us.

We will never forget.

How DMSO Moves Through Tissue and Why Handling Matters

DMSO can pass through biological membranes without damaging them and spreads rapidly through the body after skin contact, which is what makes it useful as a carrier and also why it calls for care.

Because DMSO carries whatever it is mixed with into tissue, contaminated surfaces and impure ingredients are described as real risks, and combining it with medications or strong botanicals is not something to attempt without professional guidance.

We say 'Food first!'. But sometimes it's impossible to get enough nutrients from our food. Magnesium is esp hard to get through food because of the large RDA (recommended daily amount) required.

And then come see us for some excellent magnesium supplements.
