Final Revew
Although i am not quite out of the product i feel i can give my opinion on this product. I have never tried a sports supplement other an protein,creatine, glutamine, and bcaas so i have no previous experiences with a similar product.
Application: Simple to apply and rub in. The product dries fast and does not have a strong or lasting order.
Noticed Improvements/Benefits: Although I am young at 26, I've had multiple issues with joint pains since i was a freshman in high school, needing to go to PT, which had minimal improvements. That being said, within 1 week, my daily joint pain has nearly disappeared. some days i would have more of a "flare-up" but this product has minimized the amount of pain i have felt.
Another benefit i have noticed was an increase in pumps/vascularity. I am at a higher BF% at 30%+ and i could see my larger veins along my arms, especially at by bicep and front delt. I felt like this product did increase my ability to work so that i could get more done in less time.
Strength seemed to go up regularly, whether that is muscle memory from lifting in the past and having a couple years off from training, or if it was sped up by this, I'm not sure. I do feel that my strength increased much faster than it has in the past, so i feel that the product was a vital component for me.
Areas for improvement: The only major issue i found was your pump speed seemed to change how much of the product came out. A slower pump (such as trying to pump while moving down the arm) seemed to have slightly less product than a fast pump produced, even covering the arm in the same was as trying to pump slowly. i'm not sure if this is an actual occurrence or if it is just an optical illusion.
Final thoughts: I think that this is a great product for anyone with joint issues. Reducing joint pain (possibly inflammation as well) allowed me to train harder and have longer sets, which i believe is the reason for speeding up the rate of strength increases. I cannot verify/confirm whether the product works better as spot application for joint pain vs systemic since i did "spot application" the whole log. If you are looking for a product to add to your regimen to help you get more out of the gym, try this product.
Overall i would rate this product a 5/5 as a product that will decrease joint pain as well as recovery time so that someone can work harder.
