Many of you have joint problem, it is now becoming a very common problem that not only makes you feel the pain but also makes you feel sick; both mentally and emotionally.
Penetrex cream claims to be a good joint pain reliever and having a good anti-inflammatory action. It claims that it starts to show its effectiveness soon after the cream is applied. It claims that it is not only effective for relieving the pain due to arthritis but also relieves the pain from back, neck, tennis elbow, shin splint, etc.
Penetrex is manufactured in South California by the company named as Biomax Health Product Inc. This company is in the market for quite a long time. It offers you an unconditional money back guarantee. The product costs 19.95$ when it is purchased within The U.S.A and it costs 29.95$ (means 9.95$ more for shipping) when an order for other country.
What Are The Ingredients In Penetrex Cream?
The active ingredients said to be present are:
- Pyridoxine or Vitamin B6 - It helps to maintain the nerve function and body fluid levels in all joints so that it resists the wear and tear of joints.
- MSM / DMSO2 - It helps to maintain the joints connective tissues. It helps to provide flexibility of the cell or tissue around the joints. It acts to relieve pain and inflammation. Thus helpful for muscle and tendons.
- Cetyl Myristoleate - It is a lubricating agent and also relieves the inflammation from the joints.
- Choline Bitartrate - It is helpful in maintaining the nervous system and also repairs the tear of any nerve around the joints.
- Arnica - It acts as WBC (white blood cells) stimulator and also helps to reduce the joint pain.
- Boswellia Serrata - It is said to be effective for relieving the pain related to arthritis.
Is It Safe To Use?
The main answer to this type of question is quite difficult. But any product is judged to be safe when it is backed with a clinical trial. But Penetrex fails to mention anything about the clinical studies. But still evaluate this by going through the pros and cons it has.
Pros
- Affordable price.
- Mentions its lengthy details of effectiveness.
- It is in cream form-Easy to apply and use.
- Provide detail FAQ's, contact us and consumer testimonial tab.
- No clinical studies done to prove its effectiveness.
- It claims about no side-effect, but many other site mentions about the side effects such as stomach upset, itching, headache and may cause liver damage.
- Many have skin rashes and skin getting sensitive to sunlight and also said to have drowsiness.
- Ingredient quantity not listed on the official site.
As mentioned above that the official site mentions or claims that it has no side effects but many reviews mentioned on the other site proclaim about its side effects. It is not the thing that you will not find positive review but the thing is that there is a black dot on a whole white paper.
Here, I mention just one review from a consumer, rest you can have your own search
"I was quite happy for what Penetrex offered me. It really worked as I applied the cream over my ankle and on my back and neck. But after 5 to 10 days of use I had skin rashes."
It caused a terrible rash on my knees. I used it according to the directions 3 to 4 x a day for 7 to 10 days. And voila! a most horrible rash appeared. It has taken me almost one week to recover from it. The sleepless nights and the scratching has been awful. I may be alone in this but I would never recommend it to anyone. Besides the fact that after 10 days it did absolutely nothing for my aching knees.
I know the company stands behind their product and keeps saying in the brochure that you can get a refund. I personally don't want to take the time to go through all that. I just hope that people are a little more discerning when they buy a product like this than I was.

Can't see any really improvement after using the product for six months. It may be possible that just the contact of rubbing ANY kind of pain-relieving cream on the joint multiple times during the day would have had the same result. There are much cheaper pain relieving crèmes on the market. In my case, I finally resorted to having the doctor an injection into my elbow every 6 months to totally relieve the pain.

Does Penetrex Cream Really Work?
Penetrex claims to work and treat Tennis Elbow Pain. Tennis Elbow Pain is normally said to be pain and swelling in the tendons around the elbow and arm. Thus Penetrex cream claims that Vitamin B6 is a co-enzyme that regulates the body fluid flow and thus maintains the normal nerve function. It claims that due to the deficiency of Vitamin B6 Tennis Elbow pain is started.
Bottom Line
Penetrex claims to be a good effective product for various joint pains in a cream form. It claims to be a good combination of ingredients which helps to relieve inflammation. It mentions a detail description about its ingredient but has not mentioned anything about the ingredient quantity. It claims about having no side effects but many other site states that it gives side effects such as skin rashes, itching, etc. Over the board, it is not clinically proven. So be wise before making any selection.
Sorry, but this didn't work. My 3rd jar completed, and last, I applied the cream as directed and got no relief from my tendinitis.
ReplyDeleteThis came empty in a box that had obviously seen a lot of use already. Unbelievable that this could happen unintentionally!
ReplyDeleteThis was a waste of money as this cream did absolutely nothing and should be shown as false advertising!!!
ReplyDeleteI ordered Penetrex for my mom who has pain in her tennis elbow. She used it until the jar was finished. It did not work at all. She was very disappointed as was I. I would not recommend this cream.
ReplyDeleteI rubbed this cream on my elbows since they have been hurting for the last couple of weeks. I got NO relief from this cream and I am very disappointed. Not Recommended! :(
ReplyDeleteI have been diagnosed with OA, my right knee is killing me. I have been trying many different creams, so far none have worked. I tried the Penetrex cream for couple of weeks with no effect.
ReplyDeleteI have joint pain in my right elbow. I saw the advertising for Penetrex and felt encouraged. I decided to order the product. I have used it for over two months. At first, I felt relief, but over time its effectiveness diminished. I have come to the conclusion that I will have to live with pain, that Penetrex cream is not what it claims to be. Maybe it's just me, but I am not really satisfied.
ReplyDeleteThis product did not work for me, perhaps it does a better job on someone with less severe problem than I have.
ReplyDeleteThis was a waste of money as this product did absolutely nothing and should be shown as false advertising!!!
ReplyDeleteI just have to apply it twice a day.
ReplyDeleteI think the side effects you reference are for the prescription antibiotic Penetrex. Unfortunately, there are 2 entirely different products with the same name.
ReplyDeleteI use Penetrex and can not believe how well it works. I have severe morning lower back pain, so severe at times I am nearly unable to walk. Oral, and conventional thermal pain killers had no effect. Penetrex applied before bedtime has relieved nearly all pain. I also use it for my neuropathy. I have been using OTC oils for relieving the burning. I find Penetrex not only relieves the burning, but is also restoring tactile feeling in my feet, which helps stabilize my balance.
ReplyDeleteI found Penetrex to be quiet effectiveness in relieving pain and inflammation. Particularly my husband's chronic lower back pain. We've used a number of other creams and list the top 5 creams for inflammation. Unfortunately it obviously doesn't work for everyone but it has worked for me and a lot of other people have had positive outcomes from using it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for share the article.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
