Celadrin (joint cream)
Celadrin is a proprietary blend containing cetylated and esterified fatty acids. The proposed mechanism of action is to improve the strength of cell membranes. It is marketed as a topical analgesic that exists in a cream formulation and is used for muscle and joint pains including osteoarthritis, strains, bruises, and sprains.[1] The only confirmed active ingredient in this over-the-counter drug formulation is menthol.[2]
Published study[edit]
A before/after human study with no placebo control showed that one week of treatment with a topical cream consisting of cetylated fatty acids (Celadrin) and menthol was effective for reducing pain and improving functional performance in individuals with arthritis of the knee, elbow, and wrist.[3]
