FAQ’s About Blue-Emu Ingredients
Over the past few years I have noticed during my weekly rounds of grocery shopping and numerous visits to mass merchandisers across the United States, consumers have become more conscious of the ingredients in their favorite products. Taking the time to graze over the exact components of each product before making its way into their shopping cart. With this being said, we would like to save you some time in the possible near future, giving you the lowdown on our own product labeling.
From consumed products, such as food, all the way across the board to over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical drugs, every product packaging has its own guideline put forth by the FDA for ingredients. This is so there is no confusion when comparing similar categorized products. So what do your labels mean when it comes to the order of our ingredients you say? Well…you can read for yourself by clicking the link below or continue reading my quick summary of our ingredient layout.
According to the FDA; “For OTC drug products that contain both drug and cosmetic ingredients, the drug ingredients are considered the active ingredients, and the cosmetic ingredients are considered the inactive ingredients. (See §§ 201.66(b)(2) and 201.66(b)(8).)” http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?FR=201.66
MAXIMUM ARTHRITIS and CONTINUOUS SPRAY
MAXIMUM ARTHRITIS and CONTINUOUS SPRAY, both in the same product category, and overall have the same exact ACTIVE INGREDIENT percentage based on its overall weight.
