How it works: As a result of recent scientific interest, Capsaicin is now classified as an anti-arthritic phytochemical that renders the area to which it is applied insensitive to pain. Evidence suggests that Capsaicin – the active ingredient in OsteoEze Rub – depletes Substance P in peripheral sensory neurons.
Substance P is the neurotransmitter that transmits pain impulses to the brain. During this process of high-speed depletion, users experience an initial irritation immediately after capsaicin has been applied. This is the reason why many users have reported that they can actually feel OsteoEze Rub going to work. This effect, known as causalgia, markedly decreases with regular applications of 3 to 4 times daily. A burning sensation might develop if OsteoEze Rub is used less frequently.
Recent studies have also shown that Capsaicin decreases prostaglandins – the chemical substances responsible for pain and swelling when the body is under stress. Note: This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
