Its main ingredient is capcascian. You dont want to cover it up with clothing for a few minutes. It gets VERY hot, but it is good. The effects last for hours, and it doesnt go hot, then cold, like some products. It just ebbs to a pleasant warmth. I have had my inflammation go down drastically. I love this stuff!

According to the enclosed info sheet, capsaicin is used "to deplete the amount of Substance P, the primary transmitter of pain signals from arthritic joints to the brain." It is an analgesic, not an anti-inflammatory. I have used it twice a day for a year now to relieve pain in my arthritic ankle and can tell the difference when I neglect to administer a dose.

Not just another capsaicin product. Arth-Rx is the only product to combine capsaicin with the vasodilator methyl nicotinate. Together, this means greater arthritis pain relief, faster and longer lasting. The active ingredient in Arth-Rx, capsaicin, has been shown to stop the release of Substance P. This substance is a natural chemical in the body that plays a major role in relaying arthritis pain signals from the joint to the brain. Arth-Rx works best to reduce this substance with repeated use. As the amount of Substance P diminishes so should your pain. There is nothing to reduce inflammation.

As far as I know, it is not intended to be used over the joints for arthritis pain, though it wouldn't hurt to try it. It is a skin cream. I couldn't tolerate the smell. I had to chuck it.

I don't think so -- it has quite a bit of glucosamine -- but I can't speak for your particular situation. It has strengthened my Newfoundland's knee joints a lot.

Okay, I've tried this three times now and each time I ache afterward. I feel inflammation and joint pain, so there is something in it that is not working for me and it could be those two items. Thank you for posting your comment BnCMama.

Yes - yes- yes. I take coumadin, but using this in small amounts (less than a tablespoon a day) has no effect on my INR readings. And taking 1/2 tspn of this with 1 TPSN honey seems to help keep down joint swelling/inflamation).And the flavor is awesome!

No, it is a combination of Chondrotin and Glucosamine working together as lubricant and repair on the joints.

I actually buy (or have bought) this product for senior dogs with joint issues/pain...and it really makes a difference. I may start taking it myself soon... I am in my 50's and am having joint pain (esp.knees and ankles). Read the bottle info or go to product website to see if there are any "age" restrictions or drug/food interactions to be aware of.

It looks like the bottle I purchased and it has helped my knees. Hope that answered your question. Mine Says MSM Arnica, Boswellia ILEX.

Now foods main ingredients are hyaluronic acid and L-Proline (100mg each per cap.) which helps maintain normal joint cushion. IVL Alleviate main ingredients are 2 anti inflammatory herbs White Willow Bark and Boswellia Serrata plus 10mg Hyaluronic Acid per cap. .In my opinion if you have osteoarthritis or any other type of joint disease both products can help. I don't endorse any brand but a blend of the main ingredients of these products is available in the market (check in Amazon).

Can't help out with the name of the ingredient. However, it is the essence of turmeric which is the anti-inflammatory property that is the beneficial part. I have seen this recommended on Dr. Mercola's website. He has a free, internet newsletter which is really informative. Just go to Dr. Mercola.com for more information.

While I really enjoy the product, I am only in my 30s and do not have joint problems. I am not sure if it would help or not. However, it tastes GREAT it smoothies so you do not realize you are taking a supplement!

Ingredients are hops extract, ginger oil and peppermint oil...you can google this information for yourself...I say that you should save your money because it does not work for pain relief...drink a few glasses of red wine instead...

Hyaluronic acid, UCII (undentured typw II collegen) Boswella Serratta extract, tumeric, cellulose, gelatin and magnesium sterate..I've been using a while and no side effects or problems...also no pain!

I'm allergic to ibuprofen so I don't have a direct comparison, but I am taking other medications for my RA and I find that Organic Curcumin augments these and does relieve some of my joint pain. I believe that anything that decreases my inflammation, which the Curcumin does, is a good thing.

I have no idea but after taking 3 jars of this- I started to get backaches and turned into sciatic pain... Still suffering. It does wonders for your skin but it affects my nerves/ joints that I wasnt aware of...

Use directly on affected area. It greatly reduces inflamation in any muscle or joint. If it makes the skin sensative, apply lotion. The best part is that it can be used as often as needed.

The active ingredient is menthol, so I'm doubtful that it reduces inflammation substantially. The cooling effect of the menthol might have some effect, but really, this is topical and temporary pain relief.
