Hello,

Topical since it is not taken internally has lower toxicity. Mostly it is not tested in humans for most of what I see around. Pharmaceutical Grade MIGHT be safety tested.

BUT, it is a powerful inhibitor of harmful inflammation that does NOT suppress useful immunity.

It just didn't have a patent and so drug companies couldn't make any money on it so it was never developed. So, it's a bit of a risk since it isn't tested rigorously for safety.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
