It is easier to get family members to pop a pill than take something labeled as horse paste. I could see sneaking them the paste in yogurt if I was nearby, but they are in another state. I take the paste and rubbed it on my son’s sides when he was sick. I knew I couldn’t get him to ingest it and read it could still work topically. Surprisingly, it helped him recover within two days. I would be careful of Amazon orders as they do sell too many fakes.
