Who It's For

The Sports Ultra ointment is best suited for people who experience localized muscle or joint pain from overexertion, sports, arthritis or occasional backaches and want a topical option to address symptoms quickly. Physical workers, amateur athletes and those who prefer a rub-on treatment to systemic pain relievers will appreciate the immediate warming and cooling sensations.
