Actually, the original answer to those who complained about the lack of
effectiveness of these products, they were asked hpw they used it.

If they replied, they drank it, they would be told it is supposed to be
applied to the skin.

If they said they applied it to the skin, they were told it is supposed
to be taken internally.

If they said "Granma Died", they were told that they were informed it
was Snake Oil, and is only to be used to cure snakes.

That's pretty close to the story you get now from the "additives"
market.
