One of the main focuses of our company is to design safe products for pain relief using natural ingredients. We realize what a profound impact dealing with constant pain can have on one's overall quality of life and well-being.
Pain Restrain is meant to attack pain by going after many different mechanisms and pathways in the body in order to give you the best chances for improvement.
There's a very serious epidemic with pain medication going on all around the world that needs to be addressed as urgently as possible.
Every year, thousands of tragedies occur because of the over-prescribing of extremely strong medications without proper warnings and understanding. This leads to abuse, addition, or side effects occurring without any warning.
We wanted to create a product that can help make a real difference with pain. While we most definitely won't claim that our product will make any form of pain disappear (anyone that claims this is lying), we do believe that many ingredients that have really impressive potential are being under-utilized in the natural health market.
We have meticulously and strategically chosen ingredients that cater to different types of pains such as arthritic and joint conditions, nerve pain, injuries, post-surgical pain, stiffness, gout, general inflammation, and more.
Pain Restrain isn't just another generic formula, but is the culmination of years of research on the safest, most potent pain-relieving ingredients.
While many medications for pain relief provide much needed relief in tough situations, there serious risks such as:
1. Tolerance
Certain classes of pain-relieving and over the counter medicine can quickly lose effectiveness and is oftentimes remedied with a larger dose. The cycle continues for years of changing medication or taking very dangerous amounts that significantly increase potential side effects. Even with NSAIDS, there are many negative studies on long-term use as well as causing a delay in muscle regeneration and reduce ligament, tendon, and cartilage healing. (1,2)
2. Addiction
Studies show that addiction to strong pain-relieving medication can occur in as little as a week. Opioid dependence happens in many cases in only 5 days according to some sources. This is why it's SO important to utilize multiple mechanisms when attempting to improve pain.
3. Side Effects
This really doesn't need to be stated, but so many people trust whatever their doctor gives them and still believes these medications are fairly harmless. We need to always due our diligence when it comes to health. Neither the medical system or natural health care system care too much about people's health.
It's a business first and foremost and too often very dangerous medicines bombard the market for all the wrong reasons. Don't get me wrong, there are some solid and very useful medications, but it's so important to gain honest understanding of what you're putting in your body. You're not going to be told the honest truth in quick visits with your doctor.
4. Lack of Protective Properties
The majority of medications and over the counter products are designed to lower pain, but rarely do anything to protect the body. The pain relief can come at an expense when used long-term. Many common medications for pain can actually lead to more inflammation and degradation of cartilage structures as well as critical organ systems.
On the other hand, many natural compounds have been shown to slow the degeneration and offer some degree of protection to the body. We are just trying to be honest in what research shows. There is obviously place for some of these medicines when in severe pain, but it's so important not to rely anything that can put long-term health in jeopardy.
We understand that many people all around that world have tried natural alternatives only to be disappointed with the lack of results.
While there are certainly good formulas in the natural health industry, we believe around 75-85% of them don't offer much relief. In addition, many companies only offer single ingredients that are marked up to an incredible degree, which nearly forces someone to buy 4-5 products to feel any real difference.
It's a difficult challenge to formulate natural products that make a real difference for chronic and acute pain, but we believe it's possible. While no product in the world will work for everyone, we hope ours will help make a significant improvement in overall comfort and quality of life.
About Our Formula
Why we don't use ginger and turmeric/curcumin in our products:
Before we delve into some of the ingredients we chose for our products, we wanted to talk about why we don't use curcumin and ginger. Turmeric, curcumin and ginger are two of the most popular and widespread ingredients used in natural pain formulas today.
Ginger is a bit inconsistent in studies. Some show benefits, while other failed to impact chronic or severe pain. A really good ginger extract can impart benefits to some users, but may lack reliable relief for pain.
As far as curcumin, it certainly has positive studies and good feedback from many users. It's pretty incredible to see this sort of arms race going on with curcumin, with each company scrambling to design the latest and greatest delivery system to get this stubborn compound into the cells.
In our honest assessment, curcumin seems to help about 30-50% of people that try it. That's assuming it's a good quality product. Unfortunately, turmeric and curcumin also come with some sneaky side effects that are usually overlooked.
According to research, turmeric/curcumin may lower testosterone, cause stomach and gallbladder issues, lower sperm count, and contribute to anemia by binding to iron. We find that around 50-70% of people either experience , no benefit, or side effects from it. However, if it's helpful for you just be sure to cycle it periodically.
