I actually bought like three of those little white jars for my wife from amazon and while it worked good for her it didn't take the pain away permanently though. If the stuff wasn't so expensive I think I would keep on buying it, but for the price you get such a small amount there's other things that are better for less IMHO.

========================================================================

Look at those reviews closely and you will discover some (quite a few actually) are PAID ADVERTISERS or Internet Rating Plants (IRPs) both of these reviewers are PAID for positive commentary.

SO OK but does it "work" sure it does and so does placebo!
Have you investigated the manufacturers "research" claims? ............ Don't bother there are NONE!

So whats in that stuff anyway? (the manufacturer will not divulge the "proprietary concentrations")

MSM - one ingredient with "anti-inflammatory" properties which has "been studied". YET NO BENEFIT WAS NOTED

DMSO-2 (DiMethyl Sulfate) - primarily used as a solvent in many skin preparations to enhance dermal absorption. There are 2-3 studies on it's anti-inflammatory usefulness BUT they were to limited in scope and variable control to proclaim BENEFIT!

Cetyl Myrisoleate - the ONLY ingredient with STUDIED anti-inflammatory benefit. However the concentration required as an anti-inflammatory MANDATES oral administration. It is approved by the FDA for the treatment of interstitial cystitis (and oddball inflammatory condition of the bladder that may cause some pretty significant bleeding. It's probably "auto-immue" in it's causation) UNRESPONSIVE to standard TX. Some supplement manufactures have been "sued" by existing regulatory agencies for making unproven and outlandish anti-inflammatory claims.

Choline Bitartrate - a B vitamin analog

Arnica and Boswellia Serrata - Plant concoctions without medicinal efficacy studies whatsoever.

BOTTOM LINE. It's just one of thousands of supplements on the market today with NO PROVEN BENEFIT and whose "positive reviews" are bolstered by IRPs or PAID ADVERTISERS.

There's MY "REVIEW", :)
