Every day, 70 million Americans suffer from the aches and pains that come with arthritis and other chronic joint problems(1). One of the most effective ways to get fast relief from arthritis pain is the use of analgesic creams. The only problem is that the relief tends to be short-lived. Many people find that within 45 minutes to an hour and a half after applying a cream, the pain comes right back. RZN Nutraceuticals, http://www.rznnutra.com, has solved that problem, with the development of their soothing, medicated and clinically tested analgesic Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R). A recent randomized, blinded study found that Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R) provides fast relief that is shown to last for up to eight hours.

The study recruited 83 adults with physician-diagnosed arthritis, all of whom had had a history of daily arthritis pain for a minimum of six months. For ten days, study subjects applied Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R) to joint "hot spots" three times a day. They were evaluated by a clinician on the first day and again on the tenth day for conditions such as arthritis, inflammation, swelling, joint stiffness, muscle pain and range of motion. Throughout the study, participants also kept daily pain diaries.

The results were eye-opening: 63% of study subjects got relief from swelling, 93.8% experienced an increase in range of motion, 94.1% got relief from arthritis and inflammation and a full 100% had relief from muscle pain and joint stiffness. All of the results were statistically significant.

However, participants didn't have to wait 10 days to feel an effect. After just five minutes, over a quarter experienced 90-100% relief from their pain. Another 41.3% got 70-89% relief. And another 22.5% had 50-69% relief. The best part was that the relief lasted. Unlike other analgesic creams on the market, Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R) provided relief from arthritis aches and pains for up to eight hours.

Long-lasting topical pain relief was the inspiration behind Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R). "RZN Nutraceuticals decided to develop a pain relief cream because we weren't pleased with the length of relief provided by products that were currently on the market," said RZN Nutraceuticals President Robert Hunt. He should know. Hunt suffers from psoriatic arthritis, a debilitating form of arthritis. "I've tried them all...the Tiger Balms, the BenGays, the IcyHots...nothing lasts as long as this product."

Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R) contains the OTC pain-relieving ingredient menthol, as well as RZN Nutraceuticals' all-natural, scientifically developed herbal formula featuring extracts of juniper, goldenrod, dandelion, meadowsweet and willow bark. All of those ingredients are delivered in a base with skin moisturizing conditioners such as aloe, shea butter, avocado and grape seed oil.

The same herbal formula used in the cream is featured in RZN Nutraceuticals' Arthri-Zen Relief(R) capsules, a dietary supplement that relieves arthritis pain in three specific ways: first, by blocking the transmission of pain signals; second, by reducing swelling in the joints; and third, by decreasing inflammation in the affected tissues.

Together, Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R) and Arthri-Zen Relief(R) capsules form a complete program to successfully manage joint and muscle pain. The cream provides fast, convenient relief for arthritis "hot spots," while the capsules fight inflammation at its source for whole-body relief from pain.

Arthri-Zen Relief Cream(R) is not just limited to people with arthritis, though. It's also a favorite among athletes, as it quickly relieves the pain of backaches, sprains, bruises, strains and stiffness.
