I mean take primrose oil an things for jionts, how the sh*t does that work, does it say ok ,i will make my way down to this guys knee jiont an give it a good oiling,if that was the case we would all have grease nipples on our jionts at birth, i know lets get a stanley knife ,cut a small hole an spray it with WD40,it works a loosening nuts an bolts.how does a small capsule make it way to say 5 jionts that hurt,amerse its self in the jiont an lubricate it. ?????????? my brain hurts

That logic doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. Anything you ingest has the potential to affect the workings of the human body.
You could say, I take zoloft, so how does it know to work its way, all the way up to the brain and to affect the serotonin there?
The truth is that nothing you ingest knows where to go, but the body does know how to utilize nutrients, or how to react to synthetic chemicals.
For instance, when you ingest omega-3 it circulates to every area of the body; the heart, brain, skin etc. When it reaches the brain it interacts with neurotransmitter receptors, ion channels, kinases, etc. etc.
Some herbs (such as say SJW) have similar effects to pharmacudicals in there interaction with monoamine reuptake systems.

Zoloft doesn't "know where to go" any more than vitamin C, knows where to go.
Really, hitting the target just means affecting the specific region of the brain that is causing the problem.
If your problem is, say, an overactive glutamatergic system, then who's to say that increasing magnesium intake can't improve this?
