Ryan's father, a knowledgeable expert in formulating drugs for transdermal delivery, spent decades perfecting topical pain relievers. The breakthrough came when he started collaborating with local herbalists and experimenting with different natural ingredients.

Throughout their journey, they encountered various challenges, including regulatory requirements and the need for preservatives to extend shelf life. But they didn't let these obstacles hinder their progress. In fact, they're now working on a new foot and leg pain spray, refining the formulation even further.
The Feel Good Labs' vision extends beyond just pain relief. They're devoted to building a world where people can be healthy and feel good without relying on supplements or pain relievers. Their dedication to educating customers on overall wellness is truly admirable.

Stay tuned as we delve into these questions and more, and uncover the captivating story of Feel Good Labs. So, without further ado, let's jump right into our conversation with Ryan.
