Arthritis can be a debilitating condition. It often causes inflammation, aches, pain, stiffness, and even degeneration. Living well with arthritis usually involves diet, exercise, and whatever your doctor recommends. Some people also like to keep an over-the-counter (OTC) topical joint cream on hand. Let's take a look at how joint creams work, and where a topical fits into a daily routine.

How Do Joint Creams Work?

Joint creams contain different compounds that absorb through the skin at the spot where you apply them. When using a joint cream you should apply it directly to the skin above the joint you want to care for, as well as the surrounding area. Joint creams tend to be most useful on smaller joints that are closer to the surface of the skin, such as the hands, wrists, elbows, feet, ankles, and knees.

Because joint creams act only at the point where you apply them, many people like them as part of a daily routine. People who often reach for a topical include those who:

  • are over the age of 65
  • have arthritis affecting only smaller joints
  • prefer not to swallow another pill
  • want something they can use right where they feel it

Many over-the-counter joint creams and a handful of prescription products are available. It can take time to determine which ingredients or products work best for you. And, it is a good idea to talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any particular concerns or questions.

Flexcin's Motion Lotion Joint Cream

At Flexcin, we did a great deal of research to find a good way to support joints and everyday comfort. Our best selling joint supplements have a complementing topical joint care lotion called Motion Lotion. You apply it right where you feel it. It can be used alongside Flexcin supplements to support everyday joint comfort, or on its own after a long day to soothe tired, sore muscles. It works as a spot application, going directly onto an area that is sore from overexertion. Additionally, it’s a nice option for people who have difficulty swallowing pills or capsules.

Our signature ingredient in Motion Lotion is CM8 (Cetyl Myristoleate). CM8 is a fatty acid that occurs naturally in some mammals. It has many biological functions, including supporting a healthy inflammatory response and everyday joint comfort. Cetyl myristoleate has been studied for its role in supporting joint comfort, including in research published through the National Institutes of Health.

DMSO is another key ingredient in Flexcin's Motion Lotion. DMSO works as a carrier that helps the other ingredients absorb into the skin, and it has been studied for its role in supporting a healthy inflammatory response.

When applied topically, the lubricating properties in CM8 allow the supporting ingredients to absorb well and support long term joint health. We combine DMSO and CM8 with Emu Oil, which contains linolenic acid and oleic acid. Motion Lotion absorbs into the skin quickly. This combination of ingredients absorbs into the skin over the joint, supports the joint's own lubrication, and supports everyday joint comfort.
