We prefer this brand because...

Cramp Relax is an excellent and unusual blend of the potent muscle-relaxing herb viburnum prunifolium enhanced with synergistic vitamins, minerals and botanicals that magnify its benefits. This formula is based on scientific literature and also extensive clinical results. The extra ingredients enhance the benefits of viburnum for menstrual cramps (vitamins B3 and B6), for asthma (magnesium), for high blood pressure (vitamins C and E), and for COPD and Raynaud’s. The 300mg. dose of viburnum is ample, and our patients find it more palatable and convenient to take than liquid tincture, and equally effective.

This balanced formula also includes ginger root and valerian root, which bring muscle relaxing and pain-relieving actions to enhance viburnum. Vitamin B3 (niacin) can ease menstrual cramps and is a cardiovascular nutritive. Vitamin C and the citrus bioflavonoid rutin support the muscle relaxing effect of niacin and boost niacin’s action to improve blood flow to tissues. Calcium and magnesium bring gentle musculoskeletal relaxation.

In our clinic, we see excellent improvements in high blood pressure with Cramp Relax, and patients can often reduce other medications. Our patients have also consistently experienced excellent results using Cramp Relax to relieve asthma, COPD or bronchitis, menstrual cramps, and Raynaud’s Syndrome.

About this product

Viburnum prunifolium was historically used by Native Americans as medicine for reducing swollen glands and fluid retention, and for muscle spasms. Because of its ability to relax tension in smooth muscle, it relieves pain from spasm and also opens up bronchial airways or blood vessels to improve flow and reduce pressure. Nowadays it also used for cough, back pain, and as a kidney tonic for urinary conditions that involve pain or spasms. Viburnum is also astringent, meaning it has a drying effect and reduces fluid engorgement, which further helps to reduce pain and inflammation.

Ginger is an anti-inflammatory, it reduces prostaglandins that mediate inflammation. Vitamin B3, also called niacin, has been found in studies to relieve severe menstrual cramping in up to 90% of subjects, and has proven effective for normalizing blood flow in Raynaud’s phenomenon, painful hand and foot disorder due to constriction of blood vessels with cold exposure. Magnesium is a classic smooth muscle relaxant used to prevent exacerbations of asthma and COPD, and also to help sleep; magnesium infusions are used clinically for acute attacks. Valerian is also an effective antispasmodic that relaxes smooth muscle. Vitamin E has been studied since the 1950s for menstrual cramps, and because it reduces risk of blood clots and stroke it complements the blood-pressure lowering effect of cramp bark. Vitamin C also gently lowers blood pressure typically by 5-10 points.
