Episode 28: Natural Relief- The Science Behind Relieve-R and Its Role in Pain Management

In this episode, we unpack a fascinating clinical trial conducted by KGK Science for LifeSeasons Inc., evaluating the natural health product Relieve-R (formerly Pain Bloc-R) as an alternative for occasional pain relief and inflammation.

Published in the journal Nutrients, this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study compared Relieve-R to acetaminophen and placebo across three 7-day supplementation periods.

The results? Relieve-R significantly reduced pain severity and musculoskeletal discomfort, showing comparable—and in some areas, superior—effectiveness to acetaminophen, all with a favorable safety profile.

We explore what this means for the future of natural pain relief, how the study was designed, and why clinical validation matters in the nutraceutical space.
