The fact that it's homeopathic gives me pause, but a lot of people seem

willing to give a statement, or if anyone knows of any sort of study
that may have been done on it.

Hadn't followed the url that far but homeopathic says it all.
Homeopathy is junk science.
I avoid everything labeled homeopathic. Best you can hope for is a
placebo effect which in this case, is pretty expensive at ~$20/bottle.

Okay, I think I asked the wrong question. What I should have said was,
"Does anyone know something that IS safe and effective and does what
this stuff CLAIMS to do?" Right now I'm popping several Tylenol
Arthritis a day (hence the remark about being concerned with my liver)
and rubbing on Sportscreme, a pretty effective pain ointment with no
unpleasant odor, but still, the more I do, the more it hurts. I am
considering consulting a chiropractor and massage therapist, which
compared to buying a bottle of stuff, even for $20.00, still seems
pretty expensive. So am open to other suggestions, thanks.

An NSAID (Aspirin, Ibuprofen,etc.)would be better than Tylenol if you
have inflammation I think. Also, you could try a capsaicin creme but it
requires building up and then mainatining the dose.

Also, don't ignore the possibility that visiting an arthritis specialist
might be a good idea.
