    No. This was purchased because someone thought it was a “great deal”. They will use about a quarter of the bottle before it expires and then just throw the rest out.

      Everyone I know who buys these will definitely use them before they expire. Most common reasons seem to be back pain and headaches.

      Feel bad for the sucker who sees this and only buys one.

      Not everyone is a lonely neck beard. Some folks live with families, and some of those family members might just have to take a daily pill or two daily.
