Some reduction in pain and swelling
I have been using the cream for a couple weeks and I don't notice a big difference. I think it might have reduced my swelling and pain a little, but I still have chronic swelling and pain in my knees. I would like to know how much CBD this cream contains. No specific amount is listed. I suspect not much since CBD was towards the end of the list of ingredients. The cream smells just like Ben Gay and I wonder if your potion is just Ben Gay with a minute amount of CBD added?

Hey Nina! We're bummed to hear that cream isn't giving you the experience you had hoped, but its awesome to hear about your observations. Our Muscle Rub is unique to us, as it is not a formulation identical to other creams or rubs on the shelves now. When looking at the cream you mentioned, we were able to find a similar ingredient between the two, being menthol; which has a very distinct smell and is common ingredient in like-creams. Other than that, the active ingredients found in Bengay are not found in the Select Muscle Rub. The list of ingredients, per U.S. regulations is descending in terms of weight. Since the CBD isolate we use does not weigh as much as the other components found in the cream, it has been recorded lower in the list. To be more specific, once our CBD isolate is added to a substance, it disappears; orderless and colorless. The Select Muscle Rub contains 250mg of CBD in the entire bottle. Depending on how many uses you get out of a bottle or how much you use at any particular time, the CBD delivered is going to vary. For example, if you were to get 20 uses out of the rub, each dollop you use would equate to ~12.5 mg. We appreciate you asking these questions and brining up these concerns. Our team is always happy to help. If more questions arise, please reach out to [email protected]. Thank you again Nina!
