I have a brain illness and there are supplements that I cannot go without for very long as it makes my mental health worse the longer I go without them. These supplements are Magnesium, flax seed oil, 5 htp, vitamin D and Calcium as well as melatonin. There are also many people in this country who cannot go without supplements or who would benefit greatly from taking them.
I’m SICK of all the “politics” that is killing the population globally!!!
This corruption must be stopped!
The pharmaceutical corporations are using the billions they have amassed to squeeze out ALL the supplements and natural medicines that actually heal us all. They are evil and must be stopped.
