It all started back in 1892 with one man named Wilbur Fenelon Young. Together with his wife Mary Ida, he originally developed a natural formula of herbs and essential oils that was extremely effective for treating lame and overworked horses. This product was called Absorbine® Veterinary Liniment and it became hugely popular.
As its popularity continued to grow, some farmers began to realize that Absorbine® also relieved their own muscle pain. When word of this reached Wilbur, he developed Absorbine Jr.®, which was specially formulated to provide similar relief for the human body. It quickly became a household name and today it is still found in more homes than any other liquid pain reliever.
Trusted for over a century, Absorbine Jr.® has provided people with relief from aches and pains so they can live life to its fullest. Still a family-owned company some 115 years later, our line of products has grown considerably but we haven’t forgotten our roots. We remain committed to developing a variety of innovative products that can effectively improve the well-being of people everywhere. The way we see it, nobody should have to limit their life because of pain.
