"Most effective pain relief cream I have found. Trust me when I say that I have tried them all and Zax’s is the best."

"I am on my second tube of the product. and am very happy with it. O suffer from a severe shoulder injury from quite a few years back and did not have an operation because of my age. Here at least seven years later still living, and now at 92 years old, I would reconsider except for husbands health. I was using a somewhat similar rub to help ease the pain but was to the point of having to reconsider because of worsening pain. I have used another of your products for years and was sent a complimentary tube with my last order. I used it and found it to be better and less is necessary for better effecct. I am very pleased with it but am not sure of the price comparison, but if I understand correctly, I am quite sure it is at least comparable in price. It continues to give me better relief so I feel I can make it further down the line when shoulder surgery will be more possible. I am pleased because of better relief."

"If you're looking for an effective solution for sore backs and shoulders, Zax's Aches and Pain Cream is a game-changer. I’ve tried countless pain relief creams, but this one really stands out. It works quickly, offering almost instant relief from aches and stiffness. The cream has a soothing, cooling effect that helps relax muscles and alleviate tension, without being greasy or sticky. I love that it’s made with natural ingredients, which is a huge plus for me. It absorbs into the skin easily and leaves behind a subtle, refreshing scent. After using it, I felt noticeably better — my shoulder pain, which had been bothering me for days, was significantly reduced. Zax’s Aches and Pain Cream is now my go-to for soothing sore muscles. If you're dealing with back or shoulder discomfort, I highly recommend giving it a try!"

It keeps me in the game as I am a catcher and removes pain in my arm. Zax’s Aches and Pain Cream is now my go-to for soothing sore muscles.

"Ive been in serious back pain for 25 years and used zostrix (US product) for many years…. Until I discovered Zaxs! Better, faster acting, cheaper. It works on similar lines (the capsicum is what makes it really help… takes a few weeks to adjust to it but - so worth it). I use it at least twice a day - best product on the market (I’ve tried a dozen) for chronic pain. Thank you Zaxs!"

"I got the Zax Aches & Pain cream as a present from Ontario Pickleball to the winners of Golden Ticket for the Provincials. After playing for hours that day I felt a lot of pain in my elbow and decided to try the cream. What a pleasant surprise, it helped a lot to alleviate the pain and after that day I always use it, even during physio sessions."
