The Topic is Topricin: Anti-Pain Products for the Family

A look of pain is never a chic look! But when your body aches, it is hard to hide.

Not too long ago I attended a product n press event and found Topricin, with several different types of creamy products that help you deal with life’s “little boo boos” — Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream, Topricin Foot Therapy Cream, and Topricin Junior.

You may have seen and heard about Topricin on television, but never tried it. The Pain Relief and Healing Cream is the product most recognized. It has 11 homeopathic ingredients that work together to relive pain associated with a wide variety of ailments such as joint pain and sports injuries. The products are purported to have 100% natural actives and are all dermatologically tested, free of petrochemicals, synthetic fragrances, parabens, dyes, wax, mineral oils, and talcs. The product are also not tested on animals. They are also non-staining (good idea, especially when you’re wearing summer whites and pastels).

Since I haven’t had much pain lately (a good thing for me, but perhaps not so great for reviewing products), I tried the Topricin Foot Therapy Cream. This version I tried was in a 2 oz. flip top tube (there is a larger size as well). . What it does is help relieve aching feet and ankles and lower legs. If you’re a person who likes to walk, you know how tired and achy your feet can feel after you’ve been on them for a long while. And, if you’re a tourist this summer, this little tube of comfort can make the difference between a vacation where you “see everything,” and one where your feet give out…so you miss out. The odorless cream starts to feel warm and tingly within a few seconds, and can be used up to 3-4 times a day. It lasted about an hour, but the pep in my step, lasted longer. I suggest using Topricin in the morning, and at bedtime. It’s not going to totally eliminate severe foot and ankle pain, but it’s calming, de-swelling, warming, soothing effect may at least you get up on your feet for that last dance, another walk up the hill, or wherever you need your feet to take you. It’s a little plus with a slightly costly price tag (2 oz is just a bit under $18.00) but if it keeps you going, it’s priceless!

When it comes to what exactly is in Topricin products to make them unique, I have to be specific, and value. Specific, because the Topricin web site does a good job of listing what I imagine is every single ingredient in the product. Vague, because this list is a long one, and I don’t have the background to say whether each is safe, effective or 100% natural. In truth, if a product works and works well, I’m not personally so determined that it be 100% natural. But you aren’t me, so if you want to know exactly what’s in Topricin, here it is, along with what each supposedly, does:

GLUCOSAMINE INGREDIENTS :

Bioperine– When taken with other nutrients significantly increases the absorption of those nutrients. Bioperine may enhance the body’s natural thermogenic activity for fat burning.
Vitamin D3- The sunshine vitamin is best known for promoting calcium absorption and bone health new research indicates the D plays a central role in controlling immunity and inflammation processes that are tied to a host of age-related disease conditions. D, also appears to have flu prevention properties.

*the ingredients may vary for Topricin Foot Therapy Cream, and Topricin Junior

In summary: I like Topricin, and I think the products are a good alternative to smelly chemical ones. They seem to work well –but for the short term. If you have really bad pain of any kind, or chronic pain, self-medication is not the best option. Please consult your doctor!
