Hempvana Pain Relief Review: Is It Safe and Effective?

By Rocklend Davis, Ph. D.

Updated on: Jul 20, 2020

Pain management options vary as the underlying cause can significantly differ from person to person.

There are many treatment options available to manage symptoms of pain include, including heat and cold packs, herbal supplements, over the counter medications, Physical Therapy, prescription medications, or surgery.

Topical pharmaceutical products such as Hempvana pain relief cream, when applied, seek to target the local area below the skin.

The active ingredients found in these pharmaceutical products are alleged to help facilitate deeper penetration into tissues at a rapid rate.

According to Hempvana, daily application will provide you with the following benefits:

  • Relieves pain and inflammation
  • Great for arthritis and muscle soreness
  • Treats pain, not your whole body

The method regarding the topical analgesics is to reduce the need to take pain treatments orally that may contribute to gastrointestinal issues. It may be a formidable alternative to address conditions related to OA when compared to oral ingestion.

In this review, we’ll describe intended use, as well as the scientific backing of Hempvana Pain Relief Cream active ingredient.

Usage

Topical analgesics can be applied directly onto your skin at a site(s) in which you are experiencing pain.

According to the product description, Hempvana pain relief cream is intended for adult use only and can be applied up to four times daily.

The application begins by massaging a generous amount of the pain relief cream to the painful area (shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, calves, and back) until it is thoroughly absorbed into the skin.

Is There Any Science Supporting Trolamine Salicylate 10%?

Trolamine Salicylate is used to treat minor aches and pains in the muscle and joints, such as arthritis, backaches, and sprains.

Trolamine salicylate is offered as a topical analgesic that is suspected to be a more effective and alternative means to minimize the adverse drug effects and complications of systemic analgesic use.

Salicylates specifically (provides the analgesic effect) are found in aspirins, which provide interference with inflammatory pathways.

Two studies show that a topical analgesic with salicylates compared to taken orally was associated with improved pain relief.

Based on blood samples and muscle salicylate levels, at least 82% of topically applied trolamine salicylate was absorbed during a period of 2 hours in pigs.

Since trolamine salicylate is applied directly onto the skin, the initial thought process was to increase blood flow to the area and vasodilate the blood vessels to increase the absorption of the salicylate.

However, an earlier study provides evidence of salicylate’s ability to directly affect local tissue penetration without the need to provide systemic circulation to increase clinical effectiveness.

Data from a review of studies of osteoarthritis treatment suggests that topical analgesics may only be beneficial for the first two weeks.

A study to evaluate the efficacy of decreasing pain and stiffness of muscles when applying a 10% trolamine salicylate cream was done in patients suffering from osteoarthritis in their hands.

A one-time application of the cream was found to be safe and effective for temporary relief of minor pain and stiffness affected by osteoarthritis in the hands.

Osteoarthritis (OA) affects 240 million people globally and is the standard form of arthritis. OA primarily affects the elderly and can significantly limit independence, with pain being the most predominant symptom.

OA affects joints in your body, such as your shoulder, knee, ankle, elbow, wrist, hands, and back.

Changes seen in OA joints gradually degrade and destroy cartilage, the formation of bone spurs, inflammation, degeneration of ligaments, and menisci of the knee that may lead to chronic pain, joint instability, and stiffness.

While this condition occurs more frequently in the elderly, participation in sports-related activities while experiencing traumatic injuries can lead to OA.

Is It Safe?

Topical creams are generally safe. However, the lack of research, especially long term use, means that fully identifying the safety profile for this ingredient is not possible.

The efficacy and safety of acute topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, including salicylate, are well studied. 43 studies confirmed that topical NSAIDs were effective and safe for osteoarthritis.

Trolamine Salicylate has no listed interactions with other drugs.

Side effects: Blistering, peeling, redness, irritation at the application site, nausea/vomiting, and ringing in the ears.

Contraindications: hypersensitivity from application to skin or site of pain.

Suggested use is for the treatment of minor muscle and/or joint pain, typically applied for adults.

If you are experiencing levels of increased pain that is not normal and new, you should notify a medical professional.

Available Alternatives

Topical pain relief creams are widely available from vendors that sell health and wellness products.

Product comparison will lead to finding a varying degree of pricing and formulation of ingredients.

Australian Dream Cream and Penetrex for Pain Relief are products that we have previously reviewed.

Both supplements contain similar ingredients that help to provide relief for joint, muscle, and back pain.

Australian Dream offers a 2 oz jar for ranging from $15-$18 (one 4 oz jar of Hempvana costs $19.99 including free shipping) and a pretty favorable safety profile.

One large 4 oz jar of Penetrex will cost you $34.95.

The Cost

Hempvana pain relief cream is available through many retailers, but purchasing a second 4 oz jar through their website can provide savings.

According to Hempvana’s website:

  • One 4 oz jar: $19.99 with free shipping
  • Two 4 oz jars: $29.98 with free shipping

A 30-Day Guarantee backs Hempvana Pain Relief Cream. To claim a full refund or replacement, you must send the item back. You will be expected to have to pay for your shipping and handling, however.

The Bottom Line

Topical creams are generally safe but more long-term studies are required. Survey results indicate that more guidance is needed to effectively prescribe topical agents to manage pain in the long term, however.

While topical analgesics may provide good levels of pain relief, it may only be limited to acute conditions of sprains, strains, and overuse injuries.

Further, topical treatments may lead to better compliance of pain when compared to oral ingestion of NSAIDs.

Hempvana Pain Relief cream is a more affordable and reasonably priced option when compared to other topical analgesic creams used for the treatment of localized pain.

Always identify the source of your symptoms before use, and the inclusion of your physician can help determine the underlying cause and provide you the best possible care.

It works for me!

By Catherine L G., Evanston, IL, Verified Reviewer

I had a total knee replacement back in July 2018. I am just getting the feeling back in my knee and it's been pretty stiff. This past Saturday it was raining and my knee was unbearable! I was going to order the buy one get one free, but I saw it in Walmart, so I said before I do that let me get it and see how it works. I went in and got it and went to my car and put it on. By the time I got out of the parking lot, the stiffness was GONE! I had two elderly ladies in the car with me and one was complaining about neck pain. I told her to try it and she as well stated that her neck pain was gone. I had a coworker try it yesterday on her back and she stated she no longer was hurting. I am a believer!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Product is all it says it is.

By Michael L., Issaquah, WA, Verified Reviewer

I was a little skeptical and wasn't sure I wasn't wasting my money on another "seen on TV" product. I have had Rotor Cuff surgeries on both shoulders and still experience pain that nothing else I have tried came close to giving me any relief. That is until I tried Hempvana Pain Cream. Within a couple of minutes of applying it to my shoulders, the pain was completely gone.

My wife has lower back pain so she tried it and within a couple of minutes, the pain was gone. And it stayed gone for hours. We both apply it when needed, but don't have to more than a couple of times to get complete pain relief. We are impressed and grateful, to say the least!

AMAZING

By Lesie E., Texas, Verified Reviewer

My husband fell and hurt his back. He went to the doctor and was prescribed several medications, that did nothing to stop the pain or correct the problem. As a last resort, I saw this on TV and I said, let's give it a try. After just one treatment, he felt better, and after using it for a week, he is out of pain, with NO side effects! This is the real deal people, it works!

GREAT

By Loi P., Chicagoa, IL, Verified Reviewer

While this product works for me, it may not work for everyone. I figured for the price it was worth a try. The first time I used it my back pain was GONE. I told a friend of mine about the product and gave her a small amount. We were at a dance and she went into the ladies room and applied it to her back. When she came out she said, "I no longer have the pain". She had been complaining about back pain for years. I have suggested to others about Hempvana. Some were reluctant to try and my reply is "You don't know if it works until you try it". You have nothing to lose. Another friend said he could not use it because of TCH. He is a CDL driver and gets tested for drugs. Now I can let him know this is not an issue because it does not contain TCH.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Great stuff

By Clarence B., Quincy, FL, Verified Reviewer

I just want to say it works. You don't have to belive me, it takes the pain away fast. I have 4 to make sure I have it on hand. I am a veteran with pain from working in the cold. Four years in the Coast Guard and 30 years in the Merchant Marines on board ships. You take a beating working the seas and oceans, so Hempvana is a Godsend to me and my wife. She was in an auto accident some years back and she asks for it quickly when she is in pain. Thanks Hempvana for your discovery.

Hempvana

By Ginger P., Summerville, SC, Verified Reviewer

I am 67 years old. I am a believer and I am a skeptic. I have pain in my arm from an injury. Also arthritis in my knee. I bought Hempvana for my arm pain. It worked. I put it on sometimes during the day, and right before I go to bed. It takes the pain away immediately and helps me to go to sleep. I have a lot of pain in my knee. I take shots for this. But I find that the creme does take the edge off of my knee pain. Hempvana works enough for me to continue buying it and using it. And to take time to write a positive review about it. I have recommended it to others.

I bought at Walgreen, I suffer from sciatica nerve and for 3 months pain.

By Stacha B., Fort Gibson, OK, Verified Reviewer

I was so glad that my daughter told me about this. The tingling was the worse part and waiting for the MRI. Now at least I can drive and my anxiety and depression are not so bad. I am 72 and an extreme sports nut. I felt like I cried all the time and was afraid and worried. I am more confident and today I moved furniture but did so slowly with no lifting. I use it twice a day morning and evening. So glad I bought it, it was pricey and thought of it gives me relief.

Miracle!

By Ruby R., Texas, Verified Reviewer

I have degenerative joint disease, I have tried so many different things, including major pain killers from pain management doctors. Nothing, and I mean absolutely nothing, has ever worked for me...until now. This is a true miracle for me. It relieved my pain instantly. Being that I have tried everything under the sun I never would have bought it on my own but I tried my mom's and I couldn't believe how quickly and well it worked. I was definitely not expecting that! I am so happy to be pain-free again! I have to apply it 2 or 3 times a day but that's ok, this has given results that even oxycodone and oxycontin couldn't. I will be stocking up!

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The best relief cream!

By William C., Hubbard, OH, Verified Reviewer

Hello, I just had to write this review to say I have had many surgeries on my hands and on my back. I'm in pain everyday and have tried everything, but for me, this product is the best I have found. And I'm on my third jar and am going to order more. I really love this product. And I'm not getting paid to say this. It really works for me at a good price that helps me since I'm on a fixed income. Thank you, Hempvana, keep on!

Length of Use: Less than 3 months

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Awesome

By Ongela M., North Carolina, Verified Reviewer

It's awesome, put it on my lower back and within 10 minutes my pain was somewhat more tolerable. I've been using this now for about 6 months, it has truly made a difference in my life, even though the relief is short term, I'll say about 3 to 5 hours it last, I totally agree with the old saying (what good for the goose isn't always good for the gander), different strokes for different folks. I love this product and will continue to purchase it...I give it 4 stars.

Worked for me!

By Karen F., Ohio, Verified Reviewer

I got online to order more Hempvana because it works so well for me, although not on all kinds of pain. I had a knee strain from falling on the ice, and Hempvana is the only cream that gave me enough relief to allow me to fall asleep at night. I also had one of those creams that smells strongly of menthol or something similar, and it did nothing but open my sinuses (lol). However, I also have chronic right hip pain, and Hempvana didn't do much for that. Anyway, I now have a neck strain and am looking to buy more. I think it's worth a try.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
