ReplyDeleteCathleen brought a big tub, which is how I know it's awesome!
DeleteAre you very familiar with the precautions of using this? I researched the cautions of when and how much to use it and which meds, herbals, or supplements, or allergies would cause issues. You probably may already know this because you are a distance walker, but I didn't so ignore if so.
DeleteLove your blog.
Of course, if you have allergies to the ingredients, or if they are counterindicated for any medications you take, then use with caution, just like anything else. I've found them to be a boon on my trip, especially in the hot weather and big hills. :)
