Is Progesic Effective?

Progesic is not effective as joint care product. It should be marketed as a long time anti-inflammation product. One, it doesn’t have enough ingredients to pass as a joint care product neither as relief to chronic pain. The manufactures should work on something that can soothe pain and fight chronic pain.

Is Progesic Right For You?

Progesic is not the right product for you if you are looking for an effective pain killer. Progesic takes eternity to calm pain. Although it has ingredients that have the ability to fight inflammation, the product doesn’t seem to achieve this. This product is not right for you and you should seek alternative if you have options.

What Should I Expect When Taking Progesic?

It is sad to say this, but you should not expect anything much from this product. The product has not had clinical studies conducted on the product. The users too have nothing in supports for this product. You should be very patient with the product since it can go for weeks without any positive results.

Will Progesic Show Results?

Progesic is a slow acting “pain killer with anti-inflammation properties”. The product takes anything between three weeks to six months to show results. The product is supposed to be a pain killer but from customer reviews, the product barely soothes any pain. In this light, we can conclude that this product doesn’t show the desired results. The product should be marketed as an anti-inflammation product that takes time to show the healing benefits

How Long Does It Take To See The Result?

What are the results that you expect? You want an effective and timely relief to pain. This product is a long term product that takes several weeks to take effects. The irony is that this product is advertised as a pain killer. If it can’t soothe the pain within the first few minutes, then the product is useless as a pain killer. You can as well wait for the pain to die naturally. Putting things into perspective, only 35% of consumers are satisfied with this product.

Final Verdict

I don’t know what is up with them, but the people at Progena should have done way better to market this product. To sensitize potential and existing customers! The product barely has a web presence. You can hardly know the ingredients unless you do a very deep web search or call the guys at Progena. Did I mention the website? Horrible! Really horrible! The guys at Progena have not shown a shred of seriousness in this product. The ingredients are mostly synthetic yet they claim they are all natural. Marketing gimmick! The fact that there are no clinical trials makes it even worse. This product is not worth the $13 tag.
