IT'S SO-CALLED MAGIC POWERS

FOUND ONLINE: The caveat here is, if a supplement, tea, or other “wellness product” claims it reduces inflammation, you might want to be skeptical of it’s so-called magic powers.

It's is normally a contraction for it is. Here, you don't need an apostrophe. It's just its.

Gave him the reigns

FOUND ON NETFLIX: Gave him the reigns...

The program that did the subtitles messed up. He gave him the reins, as with a horse. Reigns is a verb, not a noun.

FROM ANOTHER ARTICLE: It’s $36,620 base price is competitive for an EV but significantly more than the prices of other compact cars.
    It's $36,620 base price isn't possessive, so you don't need the apostrophe. Its works here.
