TorqueGlide is a topical migraine relief gel in a roller applicator format, designed to address migraine, allodynia, neck pain and tension, joint pain, and other types of musculoskeletal and nerve pain disorders.

Yes, while primarily for migraine and headache-related neck pain, TorqueGlide is also effective for other conditions (some stated above) including tension-type headaches, allodynia, joint pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, shoulder bursitis, and menstrual-related muscle pain.

TorqueGlide provides an immediate cooling sensation that users describe as feeling "like ice on the area." It has a subtle menthol scent that fades quickly after application.

Yes, TorqueGlide can be used alongside other migraine treatments including preventive medications, acute/abortive treatments (like triptans or gepants), and other non-pharmacological approaches.

TorqueGlide can be applied up to 4 times per day. Some users apply it daily as a preventive measure, while others use it at the first sign of neck tension or during a migraine attack. Regular use can help manage overall pain levels and inflammation.

TorqueGlide is not designed to completely stop an established migraine attack on its own. However, many users report that it provides significant relief, especially when used at the onset of an attack. The cooling sensation provides quick relief for acute pain, while the full benefits may take several days or weeks of consistent use as it modulates pain pathways and reduces inflammation.

TorqueGlide dries very quickly after application and doesn't leave any sticky residue, making it convenient to use throughout the day. It's not sticky or greasy unlike other topical pain products like Voltaren or Ben Gay, and doesn't make hair messy or greasy when applied near the hairline.

Yes, TorqueGlide can serve as aromatherapy for nausea, which is a common symptom during migraine attacks. Place the bottle close to your nose and inhale as necessary. The product has a pleasant scent that is a mixture of menthol and alcohol, which some users find helpful for reducing nausea symptoms.

CBD BSO (Broad Spectrum Oil) is a hemp-derived extract containing cannabidiol and other beneficial cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, but with zero THC. Unlike CBD isolate, Broad Spectrum Oil provides the "entourage effect" of multiple compounds working together. CBD works by interacting with the body's endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate pain, inflammation, and immune function. Studies suggest CBD may reduce neuroinflammation, modulate pain signals, and decrease inflammatory cytokines that contribute to migraine pain.

CBG (Cannabigerol) is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid often called the "mother cannabinoid" because other cannabinoids are derived from its precursor form. While CBD and CBG both offer therapeutic benefits, they interact with the body differently. CBG has shown particularly powerful anti-inflammatory effects, may provide stronger neuroprotective properties, and has been studied for its ability to reduce mast cell degranulation, which is a process involved in migraine-associated inflammation. The 1000 mg of CBG in TorqueGlide works synergistically with CBD to provide enhanced pain relief.

No, TorqueGlide contains Broad Spectrum CBD oil which has zero THC (the psychoactive component of cannabis that causes a "high"). You will not experience any psychoactive effects from using TorqueGlide. However, if you have specific concerns about drug testing, we recommend consulting with your testing provider.

Recent research shows that cannabinoids can interact with multiple receptors in the trigeminovascular system - the key neural network involved in migraine pain. During a migraine, calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) is released, promoting neurogenic inflammation. The cannabinoids in TorqueGlide help by:

• Interacting with CB1 and CB2 receptors to suppress CGRP release
• Modulating immune cells that contribute to neuroinflammation
• Preventing sensitization of trigeminal neurons that leads to migraine pain
• Reducing mast cell degranulation, a key contributor to neurogenic inflammation

Studies suggest that deficiency in endocannabinoid levels may be associated with migraine susceptibility, making topical cannabinoid application a targeted approach to migraine management.

The endocannabinoid system (ECS) plays a crucial role in regulating pain perception, inflammation, and neurological function throughout the body. This system consists of cannabinoid receptors, endocannabinoids (naturally produced by the body), and enzymes that control their function. TorqueGlide's CBD BSO and CBG interact with this system by binding to or influencing cannabinoid receptors in skin, muscle tissue, and peripheral nerves. Research indicates that migraine pain may be linked to dysregulation of the endocannabinoid system, sometimes referred to as Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency (CECD). The cannabinoids in TorqueGlide help restore balance to this system and reduce pain signals.

TorqueGlide uses Broad Spectrum CBD Oil rather than full spectrum CBD or CBD isolate for several important therapeutic advantages:

• It provides the beneficial "entourage effect" of multiple cannabinoids working together synergistically without containing any THC
• It offers more complete relief than CBD isolate, which contains only pure CBD
• The natural plant compounds in BSO improve bioavailability and absorption compared to isolated CBD
• The presence of multiple cannabinoids creates a more balanced effect on the endocannabinoid system for more comprehensive relief

For optimal absorption of the cannabinoids in TorqueGlide:

1. Apply to clean, dry skin for best results
2. Roll directly onto the affected areas (temples, forehead, neck for migraine; directly over painful areas for other conditions) in a thin layer using circular motions for best results.
3. After application, gently massage the area for 30-60 seconds to enhance absorption through increased blood flow
4. For severe pain, a slightly more generous application may be beneficial as the high concentration ensures more active compounds reach target tissues
5. For consistent relief from chronic conditions, apply 2-4 times daily to maintain therapeutic levels in tissues

Yes, the 1000 mg each of CBD BSO and CBG in TorqueGlide represents a therapeutic-grade concentration that significantly exceeds most consumer CBD topicals. This potent formulation is important because:

1. It creates a sufficient concentration gradient to penetrate the skin's barrier function
2. It ensures enough active compounds reach the underlying tissues where pain and inflammation occur
3. It provides enough cannabinoids to properly activate receptors in skin, muscle, and nerve tissue
4. It delivers sustained relief as the skin slowly releases cannabinoids into underlying tissues

This high-potency approach sets TorqueGlide apart from diluted CBD products that often don't contain sufficient active ingredients to deliver noticeable results for serious pain conditions.

TorqueGlide contains several natural active ingredients:

• Natural Menthol (analgesic effect)
• CBD Broad Spectrum Oil (1000 mg) (modulates endocannabinoid system, targets trigeminovascular pathways)
• CBG (1000 mg) (powerful anti-inflammatory effects, reduces mast cell degranulation)
• Curcumin C3 Complex® (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, decreases CGRP, reduces joint pain)
• BioPerine® (promotes absorption of other ingredients)
• Boswellia Serrata Extract (neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, decreases C-reactive protein, decreases frequency and severity in chronic cluster headache)
• Ilex Paraguariensis (analgesic, alleviates neuropathic pain, promotes orofacial pain relief, anti-inflammatory)
• Uncaria tomentosa extract (cutaneous pain relief, neuro-inflammatory pain relief)
• Helichrysum Oil (anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial activity)

TorqueGlide is formulated without:

• NSAIDs
• Lidocaine
• Camphor
• Artificial dyes

The cooling sensation provides quick relief for acute pain. For best results, use it at the onset of a migraine attack and throughout. While you may feel the cooling effect immediately, the full benefits may take several days or weeks of consistent use as it starts modulating pain pathways and reducing inflammation.

Yes, TorqueGlide is TSA-friendly and comes in a 3 fl. oz. (90 ml) roll-on applicator, making it convenient for travel.
