Myrrh
Really impressive pain management and mood boost without any cognitive impairment. Great for improving productivity when in pain.
Our supercritical CO2 myrrh extract is a fantastic option for tackling pain head on and boosting mood at the same time. We carefully selected a very high quality extract of myrrh, created through cutting edge supercritical CO2 extraction methodologies. This yields very high levels of the primary bioactives in myrrh, the furanodienes. Standardized to a whopping 4% furanodienes, our myrrh extract is currently the only standardized myrrh extract on the market, and it’s a very potent one too.* If you have tried a myrrh extract before, this one is sure to blow you away!
One of the reasons our myrrh extract is so unique, is because of the furanodienes it is standardized to, which have a mild effect on central opioid receptors. This in turn provides a unique and robust pain management effect that is not seen in many other pain supplements. In addition to its opioid effects, myrrh also has powerful effects on inflammation. The combination of these two mechanisms make for a fantastic ally in pain management!*
Myrrh is the aromatic resin that seeps out of the Commiphora myrrha tree. The Commiphora myrrha tree is a part of the Burseraceae family, of which Boswellia serrata (the resin of which yields frankincense) is also a part of! Myrrh has enjoyed an incredibly rich history of use, as a perfume, incense, additive in wine and as a traditional medicine.
Some of the earliest known uses of myrrh date back to the ancient Egyptians. Specifically, king Sahure, who organized the first expedition to “the land of Punt” which is now modern day Somalia. During these expeditions, large amounts of myrrh resin were brought back. Interestingly enough, myrrh was even used in conjunction with natron for the embalming of mummies! Myrrh is also featured in ancient Greek mythology, specifically in the legend of Myrrha and the birth of Adonis. It is even mentioned in religious books from various major organized religions. Long story short, myrrh has clearly been a prized commodity for centuries!
The myrrh tree is currently grown in India, East Africa and Saudi Arabia but is native to Somalia and Ethiopia. The main bioactives within the myrrh resin are a class of sesquiterpenes called the furanodienes. The furanodienes are commonly thought to be the source of myrrh’s distinct smell, and modern research has illustrated that they are also largely responsible for the unique pain management effects of myrrh! These sesquiterpenes appear to be somewhat heat unstable and thus, low temperature extraction methodologies, such as supercritical CO2 extraction must be utilized to obtain high furanodiene extracts. So that’s exactly what we did!
Our supercritical CO2 myrrh extract is standardized to 4% Furanodienes!
One of myrrh’s main claims to fame are its incredible pain management effects! These effects can be traced back to the furanodienes. Specifically two furanodienes, furaneudesma-1,3-diene and curzerene, which interact with central opioid receptors in the brain. By activating these central opioid receptors, they can help dampen incoming nociceptive signals, which our brain interprets as pain. Additionally, the furanodienes also help dampen inflammation. Together with the central opioid effects, this produces a very comprehensive pain management effect. This effect extends to all areas of pain, and can even help promote joint comfort!
Anecdotally, we have found the pain management effects of our myrrh extract to be very fast acting and robust. It is quite a unique natural product for this reason, and certainly comes in handy when you need some quick relief. During beta-testing, we also discovered that our myrrh extract has mood boosting effects, which is likely being mediated through its central opioid effects.* The effects are mild, but provide a very pleasant warm mood lift!
Myrrh also possesses some unique antimicrobial properties. This is probably also part of the reason it was used during the embalming of mummies! This could have some beneficial effects in the urinary tract according to a study on myrrh extract. In a somewhat similar vein, myrrh also appears to offer gastroprotective effects and skin protective properties. Overall, our myrrh extract offers a fairly wide array of benefits!
The Pain Management Stack: Supercritical CO2 Myrrh Extract + Palmitoylethanolamide Capsules
Need even more robust pain management effects? Then consider a combination of our myrrh and palmitoylethanolamide! Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) is an endocannabinoid which plays a major role in the body’s response to pain. When combined with our myrrh extract, this makes for an incredible pain management stack!*
The Inflammation Stack: Supercritical CO2 Myrrh Extract + Andrographis paniculata Capsules
Andrographis paniculata is a herbaceous plant that was traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese practices and is well known for its powerful effects on inflammation. Together with the inflammation regulating effects of myrrh, this is not a stack you want to miss!*
The Mood Support Stack: Supercritical CO2 Myrrh Extract + Maca Extract Capsules
Maca has been widely celebrated for its mood-elevating properties which are mediated through endocannabinoid mechanisms. Together with our myrrh extract, this produces a wonderful relaxing mood lift!*

I bought this for my mom to help with joint pain, and I also took it myself for general aches and pains. This absolutely dulls the pain, but the side effects are awful. Side effects include anhedonia, dark suicidal thoughts, depersonalization, and disconnected thoughts and feelings. Be very careful if you choose to buy this stuff. I personally will never use this again.
I actually use this myrrh extract to help as I taper off of a different supplement. It really helps to take a few capsules of this myrrh.
I bought this for my mother to help with her numerous inflammatory issues, including chronic joint issues, and I decided to take some as well to help with general tightness and soreness and pain. The effects have been immediate, and I've never had anything be so effectual for pain. Absolute game changer. And the uplifting mood effects are very profound as well. I've never heard of Myrrh as a pain relief agent, but now I am convinced it is excellent medicine.
