I’ve had discomfort in my shoulder since my playing days in the NFL. A couple of years ago it became worse from moving around some heavy planters in my backyard. I tried exercise, icing it, other products, ibuprofen and other OTC drugs, but I refuse to take all that internal stuff, especially long term — I know it’s bad for you.

When applying AcheRelief, the relief was almost instant. I applied it for several days and my shoulder feels okay. Occasionally some discomfort comes back and I apply a little AcheRelief and it disappears right away. I like that this is a topical cream, and it works.

I have been passionate about martial arts from the age of 12. I began by studying wrestling and judo then moved on to Kung Fu, Karate and Tae Kwon Do. I achieved a 3rd degree black belt (san-dan) in taekwondo and, in the early 2000’s, I was a two-time Tae Kwan Do Chung Do Kwan Midwest Champion. Most recently, I started participating an Aikido. As is true with all martial arts, injuries are virtually unavoidable. They are an integral part of training.

As I get older, recovery from the aches, pains and injuries that go along with training and competition takes longer and longer. Now that I am in my 60’s, recovering has become much more difficult. This is why I use CopperUp with AcheRelief.

I use this awesome copper cream on the parts of my body that typically get hurt the most: my shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, fingers, legs, knees and toes. The cream not only alleviates the pain in those areas, it also helps them recover and heal faster. Not only does CopperUp with AcheRelief reduce my recovery time dramatically, but I have also discovered that I can further shorten this recovery time by applying the cream before I work out!

CopperUp with AcheRelief is a wonderful product, not only because it allows me to enjoy the martial arts that I love with less pain, but also because it gives me a competitive edge over my opponents.

I had constant and debilitating pain in my thumb and wrist for about a month. The doctor thought it was arthritis and gave me a sample pain anointment to try – it was useless. A friend let me try Ache Relief and I experienced relief immediately. I had to reapply every hour or so and much to my surprise and delight less often after a few days. Not only did the pain subside completely the severity of the pain was not as intense most days.

A physiotherapist shortly after identified the issue which in a nutshell is caused by tendon rubbing on tendon and he is able to help me. He recommended a different pain relief to try after dismissing what I told him was already working. I tried the extreme pain relief cream he recommended, and it provided no relief.

Ache Relief is my one and only pain relief. I only have to apply it three times per day now for diminished pain and I experience prolonged relief. With Ache Relief and physiotherapy, I am no longer in debilitating pain and absolutely see a return to normal use of my hand.

When I heard about a blue copper cream for joint and muscle pain, I was
intrigued, but skeptical. On one hand, I had been suffering from mobility and pain issues in my lower back (sciatica, sacroiliitis), hip (trochanteric bursitis), cervical spine, shoulder (rotator cuff), wrists, and thumbs for years. On the other hand, as a biologist with a doctorate from UC Berkeley (Nutritional Sciences and Toxicology), I knew that a number of enzymes in the body are copper-dependent. One of these is needed for the biosynthesis of collagen to form connective tissue. For these reasons, I thought that the application of copper might possibly help me in ways that other products did not.

I first tried the cream for my periodic low back pain and associated sciatic pain (pain that radiates to the hips, buttocks, and leg). One morning I applied the cream to my low back (lumbar spine). By the end of the day, when normally pain would be worse, I was astonished to find that the pain was greatly reduced! Being naturally skeptical, I concluded that it was just a coincidence, but since then, I have experienced similar amazing results repeatedly with my hip, cervical spine, shoulder, wrists, and thumbs. I hypothesized that improved connective tissue function was the basis for this healing and diminished pain.

The most dramatic example was following a diagnosis of ‘bone-on-bone’ osteoarthritis in my right knee early last year.  The orthopedist urged me to severely limit my activity, and to use a cane at all times; surgery would probably be necessary for this progressive degenerative condition.  After suffering with pain and discomfort in the knee for several weeks, I resigned myself to his recommendations and limited my walking, believing that there was no treatment for this condition other than surgery. Then, thinking that it would have little effect on such a severe condition as this, I finally tried AcheRelief on my knee.  To my surprise, it relieved the pain enough so that I could start walking again, a little at a time. Now I walk several miles a day without pain or discomfort and without a cane!

I am very grateful for this product and will continue to use it for many years to come.

I have sprained my thumb while playing volleyball. My thumb was aching for a week without getting better. A relative of mine suggested to try the copper cream AcheRelief. After applying it just one time, the achiness started to go away. I have applied it a few more times and in a week, the pain was gone completely! I was able to go back to playing volleyball pain free.

I am an 85-year-old retired physician. For over 25 years I suffered from type 2 diabetes. About 9 years ago, I was diagnosed with diabetic peripheral neuropathy, a form of nerve damage due to diabetes. This condition caused severe pain in my feet. I often felt like I was walking on unbearably hot sand. My heels particularly felt like they were burning. Other unpleasant sensations included a sense of pressure between my toes along with the feeling of needles going through the flesh. Life involved pain, pain and more pain. These various painful sensations sharpened at night resulting in chronically poor sleep. The tips of my toes had a blue coloration, which was most noticeable in the big toes. I’ve assumed this coloration was related to the poor circulation that goes with diabetes.

I know that the chronic use of pain-relieving agents such as NSAIDs can cause serious side effects, and have avoided them. I was prescribed Foltx to address any potential nutritional deficiencies that can cause neuropathies, but it did not help.

I was able to gain a slight reprieve from the pain by self-massaging the areas of my feet in the morning and evening. Unfortunately, this pain relief typically only lasted a few hours and did not eliminate all the pain and other symptoms.

I observed how AcheRelief substantially helped my husband’s pain which involved his ribs, ankles and other areas. He is very slow to heal, yet the cream improved his rate of healing and dramatically reduced his pain. Although I was skeptical that it could help with neuropathic pain, I decided to simply rub in this copper-containing cream as I massaged my feet.

What I observed astonished me. In two days, the pain in the toes and heels noticeably diminished. A few days later, the pain in my toes and heels disappeared! The feeling of pressure between the toes is greatly reduced. Walking is no longer like walking on hot coals! With the pain gone, I am able to finally get a good night’s rest. The bluish color in the toes also soon disappeared indicating improved circulation! Now the color is close to normal. The improvements suggest that AcheRelief wasn’t merely acting as an analgesic; it might facilitate healing!

I have access to quality medical care and have practiced medicine for many years. I am familiar with what diabetic and neurological medicine has to offer to neuropathic patients like myself—essentially pain-relieving drugs. The remarkable benefits I obtained using AcheRelief clearly extended beyond pain relief. This suggests that AcheRelief helps to improve underlying neuropathic processes.

To my knowledge, there are no effective treatments for neuropathy, and so it has been hard for me to reconcile what I know about medicine with my observations using this product. I can only logically conclude that this copper cream might represent, at the very least, a new treatment for neuropathic pain. In the best case, it potentially represents an advancement in the treatment of neuropathy. I hope the company is successful so that they can afford to undertake clinical studies to corroborate my remarkable observations.

Because neuropathy is a very complicated medical condition, not everyone should expect the same extraordinary results that I experienced. However, I can wholeheartedly recommend AcheRelief because it resulted in nothing less than “miraculous improvement“ in my diabetic peripheral neuropathy. I wish you the same success that I experienced, and hope you won’t be disappointed!

Sincerely,
Raisa Kreymer, M.D.

I rarely write reviews, but when I come across a product that is as outstanding as AcheRelief, I feel that it is my duty to report my findings in order to help others find respite in their daily life. I first bought AcheRelief because I wanted to have a transdermal intake of copper in my system. Then, there was an epidemy of sand flees in the area where I live, and I was bitten multiple times on my legs. These bug bites developed into big swollen red marks with a blister at the center. I tried other remedies I had at home, but the pain and itching would not diminish. Then I thought about trying the AcheRelief on some of them. Not only did it reduced the pain, but it speeded up the healing process. As an experiment, I left a few bites untouched by the copper cream to see if there were any big differences between the healing process; there were. The bites that were healed with the AcheRelief completely disappeared, and months later, the ones without the copper cream have left a faint discoloration of the skin. Then came pain. Because I purchased the AcheRelief as a copper intake, I forgot to use it as a pain reliever on a back injury I recently received (the X-rays showed no broken bones, but it caused nerves pain all over my body with weakness and shooting/burning pain in my arms and legs). Around the eight day of the injury and after applying other remedies and patches, I thought to put AcheRelief on my spine. Wow! What a relief. Within ten minutes the pain was almost completely resolved. How could this be, I wondered… I re-applied a few times, and even applied it on an old aching pain in my neck caused by a car accident and it had the same effect. I am still in awe. I only had to apply the cream a few times and it not only removed the inflammation, but it is as if the cream actually healed the injury, as in ‘healing the damaged tissue into new normal cells/tissue’. I still feel the benefits of it a week later, and only today am I thinking about re-applying it on my spine as I feel a remnant of discomfort (after doing a considerable number of chores yesterday). I am not a scientist and cannot explain how this cream works, but I can say without any hesitation that AcheRelief works on pain, new and old injuries alike. I will keep applying it on my neck to see if it can have a long-term healing effect on my three herniated disks, which I have live with for almost twenty years. I bought the cream directly from their website, and I am glad to see that it is now sold on Amazon. I will never be without this wonderful product. It is a keeper. Do yourself a favor. Try it. You have nothing to lose, but pain.

Hello, first, I’d like to thank you for AcheRelief! It has brought about a miraculous healing of my arthritic hand!

I have recently turned 85, and each morning I awake with pains and aches in various parts of my body. I consistently have arthritis pains in my right shoulder, elbow, wrist, but my right arm and hand have bothered me the most. Each day I could somewhat control the pain by massaging the places that hurt, often using various arthritis creams. Unless I put a lot of time into incrementally increasing movement in the arm, I would have trouble using it during the rest of the day.

However, my ring finger on the right hand became a major problem. In the morning, when I tried to open the palm, the finger disobeyed and remained curled. It took a long time each day to straighten it out using my other hand to gently bend and stretch it. However, to my great disappointment, about three months ago these procedures became less and less effective. Despite the use of various arthritis creams for pain, the central joint of the finger lost almost all mobility and became a major source of my pain.

Because I am right-handed the stiffness and pain in the finger caused great difficulty in using the hand for ordinary activities, such as holding a knife to prepare food or even just holding a spoon in order to eat! Because of worsening pain and loss of movement I became increasing frustrated. The idea that I might need to impose and depend on others for my basic needs was causing me a great deal of stress and anxiety. Then I received a gift of a jar of AcheRelief from my daughter, Marina. I started to vigorously rub the copper cream into the finger twice a day. Each application of AcheRelief soothed the pain. After about ten days, the finger became flexible and mobile again. Amazingly, its movement no longer caused pain! After a month of using the cream, the finger became completely functional and normal. I believe it has healed completely!

I am now also using the cream on my other joints with arthritis. It is clearly helping me far beyond what the other products did. It helps me perform my daily activities so I can stay independent. I am definitely going to buy AcheRelief and don’t want to run out. When other arthritis creams could only help with pain, this outstanding, wonderful product restored my arthritic finger and is now helping with my other arthritic joints as well.

I am so enthusiastic about your product that I’d be willing to have your company give out my phone number to skeptics. However, my mother tongue is Russian so hopefully callers will be patient with my English. Thank you again for this wonderful miracle cream!

As an early user of the beta version of AcheRelief, I found some relief from severe back pain that was bad enough to put me on disability. At the time I found the cream to be good for all sorts of inflammation and aches like bruises and sprains. 

The new version of the cream does all that and more. My right knee was quite puffy after I slipped running downhill on a wet brick path and then fell on the same knee twice more doing equally careless things. Thanks to a few days of rubbing the knee with AcheRelief morning and evening, the knee looks normal again and no longer hurts. Just on a hunch, I also used the cream on a mosquito bite that itched. It stopped itching immediately and disappeared the next day.

Several of my friends are using the cream to relieve the symptoms of their arthritis. They seem to be having equal success, but I will let them tell their own stories. We are all grateful to Tom Nufert and his associates for bringing this wonderful product to the marketplace.

I heartily recommend it to anyone suffering from aches and pains.

AcheRelief works when nothing else does.

Six days ago, I fell several feet onto my right knee. Upon immediate inspection, it did not appear badly damaged. However, as evening approached, it became more and more swollen along with terrible bruising and severe pain. Months ago, a friend gave me a jar of AcheRelief as a gift. I applied it and then wrapped my knee with a bandage and went to bed. 

The following morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find my knee was less swollen and the pain diminished, though naturally still present. It was clearly better than expected.

The areas where I used the cream look and feel much better than areas where it has not been applied (see photo). I find this product very helpful!

Thank you, Younger Phenotype, for creating such a helpful medicine!

I am a 90-year old man with a long list of health problems. One of them is my skin. For about a decade, I suffer from extremely fragile skin and blood vessels. Even a light hit on any part of my body causes bruising.  Cleaning my nose frequently results in bleeding. At my visits to a doctor, the nurses have a difficult time drawing blood, as even slight misguiding of the needle will produce bleeding under the skin causing boil-like bumps. 

The skin on the backside of my hands is very thin. For years, this skin has a scary blackish-brown-dark blue-reddish color.  This was the color of the backside of my hands and the largest bones of all my fingers (but strangely not my thumbs). My hands looked like those of a mummy. My doctors were not very concerned with my “mummy” hands and were always busy with my other problems. Over the years, I tried various creams that made claims for skin improvement. I never saw any benefits. 

Finally, I decided to try something different — AcheRelief that contains copper. For a week, I applied the cream, twice a day, onto the backside of my hands. At first, I could not see much change, except a slight improvement in the dryness of the skin. At the end of the week – a hint of a diminished blackness showed up, or was it my imagination?!

I continued applying it for two more weeks, and saw a gradual color change that was undoubtedly real! An unrelated health problem developed that lead to an unintended two-week break in using it. I returned to using the cream once a day for another two weeks. The results have been amazing! Because initially I did not expect to see any results, I did not take an initial picture, but now I have taken one.

The abnormal “mummy-like” color on the back of my hands has dramatically reduced; I’d say the area decreased by half and the color was noticeably lighter! It was blackish and now its not. Also notice that my fingers now have healthier color. After suffering for years with mummy hands, the results are amazing! I continue using the cream, 3-4 times a week, and now have a realistic hope that my skin will completely regain its normal color.

AcheRelief helped me with two other problems. First, for a whole day I had a very unpleasant and concerning pain in my right ribs.  The doctors examined me and said this was unrelated to my other medical conditions and suggested it would go away on its own.  Knowing how slow I am to heal I feared this pain would last many days.  Application of the AcheRelief allowed me to sleep at night, and the next day the pain greatly diminished, and soon completely went away. 

I then sprained my right ankle. Now I knew what to do – AcheRelief! Applying the cream soothed the pain almost immediately. At my age it takes a long time to heal. I continued to apply the cream to the ankle, and I am pleased to report that it healed much more rapidly than expected. 

In conclusion, AcheRelief helped me with pain on several occasions. It certainly facilitated healing of my ankle and healed a large area of my skin.

Your product, AcheRelief, is wonderful!

5 stars! This cream is working for me for two issues: 1) to reduce the occasional (at least 2 times per day) numbing and tingling in my neck due to 4 bulging disks. I apply the cream directly on the area when the numbing and tingling starts and it stops within a few minutes. 2)The other reason is that about 4 times a day, pressure builds in both my ears and the cream (I rub it on the soft tissue just below the ear and jawline) stops it within a few minutes. For both issues, the reaction time was quick and substantial so I kept using cream. After five days of applying the cream, I experienced two full days that were free of numbing, tingling and no pressure in the ears. I didn’t use the cream during those days and on the 3rd day the symptoms returned. So I now use the cream every day and the symptoms are nearly nonexistent.

My name is Carly, I am 32 years old and have had Complex Regional Pain Syndrome for 12 years. CRPS is a chronic pain disorder that is characterized by inflammation, nerve pain, and sensitivities amongst other effects. It is very difficult for me to find anything that truly helps my pain as I suffer from both a deep, striking pain, as well as a superficial surface level of painful sensitivity. My pain is in the lower half of my body, from my toes and feet up through my thighs, and into my right hip and back; with my feet and hip being the most painful areas.

The first time I was able to try AcheRelief I was very surprised! I started by applying it to my hip area, taking care to rub it in until the blue had gone away. By the time I had finished rubbing it in, I was already feeling relief from the burning pain sensations I was feeling skin level. I moved on to rub it into my feet, and after was just thrilled to have not just the surface burning subside, but also the deeper pain I felt, that goes into my hip joint and into my feet. Not only was the pain relief quite substantial, it also lasted for more than an hour (something no other pain cream had been able to achieve)

Over time, after using the cream as needed, multiple times a day, not only did the relief start to last longer but it also seemed as if the overall pain levels had come down some. I wasn’t experiencing the same intensity of burning as before, and even the deeper pains seemed to be less frequent. This was especially noticeable in my hip area, as it had been giving me the hardest time before trying this cream. I am so incredibly thankful to the team who developed this product! It is amazing to actually have something that works and seems to really be helping me get better over time!

I’ve used AcheRelief to treat tennis elbow, sore forearm muscles, sore/strained anterior deltoid (a muscle involved in serving a tennis ball) and sore feet. One season, at age 60 then, I was practicing a lot (several times a week) with some 18-39 year old team members and got the outside edge of my feet pretty sore (so much that I went to a podiatrist). Soul inserts + AcheRelief resolved the issue. I’ve also used it on my hands and neck. Many years ago I used it on my leg on what I’m pretty sure was sciatic nerve pain at a tennis camp in San Diego. I’ve also used it on my knees, especially for patellar pain.


I’m a big fan of not just tennis, but also of AcheRelief. So much so that I financed the first production batch. Now we are ready to get AcheRelief out in the world where people can use it to help heal their persistent pains.

One more thing I noticed is that aches and pains keep us awake at night. Sometimes this is severe enough to take pain killing medication at night. But taking these on a regular basis is bad for you. Ibuprofen, for example, can damage your kidneys if taken continuously. AcheRelief is completely safe. Not only does AcheRelief deliver specific pain relief, the base includes copper, which is an essential mineral we all need. Treating my feet with Ache Relief allowed me to stop having restless feet at night.

One jar should last for 50-100 applications. Perhaps more, depending on the area of application. Oftentimes this is small, like a finger or the back of the hand, or a toe. You absolutely need to rub it in, and use no more. Excess left on the surface of the skin is a waste. Start with about a dime’s worth of cream on your finger and rub it in. It will change from blue to white to clear as it rubs into your skin. This can take 30 seconds or more. Repeat if it disappeared quickly and you want more pain relief. Give it a few minutes to take effect.

I am a 60-year old jogger. Like many others, I hate going to doctors. Therefore, I do whatever I can to stay young and healthy, including following Younger Phenotype’s individualized guidance. I believe regular exercise contributes greatly to this wonderful feeling of being young. Unfortunately, as decades go by, I notice that it gets increasingly more difficult to deal with minor or more substantial traumatic events, which impair my jogging capacity. Twisted ankles and knee pain are the most noticeable problems that I’ve experienced within the last few years. My right knee was particularly problematic. When I attempted to jog, pain commenced after a hundred yards and soon after became unbearable. The knee had only limited mobility at both leg extension/flexion and abduction/adduction motions. I had to forget about my passion for downhill skiing. Furthermore, even plain hiking lost its appeal as walking downstairs or downhill caused pain inside the knee. The lack of mobility and pain were so grim; I began using ibuprofen and Tiger balm. I seriously contemplated visiting a doctor. Fortunately, as a part of the AcheRelief development team, I gained access to the AcheRelief analgesic cream much prior to its official launch. It took approximately three months of regular, daily use of the cream to incrementally increase my pain-free mobility and to get my right knee fully functional. I did not need to use the cream any more. I can now walk, jog and downhill ski again, all pain-free!

I have horrible knees and lower back issues due to my 22 years of competitive soccer. I started using the cream on my right knee and lower back and within minutes I feel a huge difference. It doesn’t have the horrible burn and smell like icy hot deals. I also notice that my knees and back are not hurting as much or as often when I work out.

During COVID-19 lockdowns, with the gym closed and all the social venues like movies, shopping closed as well, I watched a lot of TV and ate a lot of delicious food. I got out of condition and put on some weight. So, now I’m back in the gym every day and my workouts can last 4 hours. My hands and wrists got sore from the weights as my arm, chest, and back weights went up. Ache Relief has been my go-to answer. I rub it in and the pain goes away.
