Built for the Pain That Demands More

MAXX Plus is Real Time’s most powerful topical formula — built for the deeper, more stubborn discomfort that needs something stronger, with the added natural support of certified THC-free hemp seed oil.

Arthritis and joint pain relief icon

Arthritis & Joint Pain

MAXX Plus targets inflamed, stiff joints with a concentrated botanical blend including Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Arnica, and hemp seed oil. Fast-absorbing and non-greasy, it’s powerful enough for tough joint pain and gentle enough for daily use.

Back pain and strain relief icon

Back Aches & Strains

Back pain can define your whole day. MAXX Plus delivers intensive support directly to the area — the hemp-enhanced formula working alongside time-tested botanicals to help ease deep, nagging discomfort so you can move freely again.

Muscle strain and sprain relief icon

Muscle Strains & Sprains

Whether from a tough workout, a long shift, or a weekend on the field, MAXX Plus targets overworked muscles and strained tissue with a multi-ingredient botanical and hemp formula that goes well beyond basic menthol.

Neck and shoulder pain relief icon

Neck & Shoulder Stiffness

Stiff necks and tight shoulders respond well to MAXX Plus’s fast-absorbing formula. Apply directly to the locked-up area and feel the difference — enhanced relief without the harsh burn of traditional strong topicals.

Bruise and soft tissue injury relief icon

Bruises & Soft Tissue Injuries

MAXX Plus includes Arnica and Witch Hazel for bruised, tender tissue, now enhanced with hemp seed oil’s skin-supportive properties. It’s the targeted help you want when an area has taken a hit and needs real support.

Chronic and recurring pain relief icon

Chronic & Recurring Discomfort

For pain that keeps coming back — fibromyalgia, chronic inflammation, recurring joint issues — MAXX Plus gives you a powerful, clean option you can use regularly. No harsh ingredients. No THC. Just consistent, reliable relief.

Everything You Love About MAXX. Enhanced.

MAXX set the standard for intensive, targeted topical relief without the harshness. MAXX Plus builds on that foundation — taking the same clean, effective approach and adding the natural synergy of certified THC-free hemp seed oil.

What About Substance P?

Here’s something most pain relief brands won’t tell you: some common topical ingredients can actually elevate Substance P, a neuropeptide directly linked to how your body perceives and amplifies pain over time.

For people dealing with chronic conditions — arthritis, fibromyalgia, recurring back or joint pain — using products that trigger Substance P elevation can quietly make the problem worse the longer you use them.

MAXX Plus was formulated specifically to avoid this. Every ingredient — including the hemp seed oil — was evaluated not just for its pain-relief properties, but for its safety with long-term, repeated use. That’s the Real Time difference.

Hemp Seed Oil Virgin

The key addition to MAXX Plus. Certified THC-free, this premium hemp seed oil brings skin-supporting, anti-inflammatory properties that complement the full botanical formula — and earned Clean Label Project recognition for purity and pesticide-free standards.

Arnica

A cornerstone botanical for pain and inflammation support. Long used for bruises, sprains, and muscle soreness with a centuries-long track record.

Willow Bark

Nature’s original pain reliever. Willow Bark has been used for centuries for joint and muscle discomfort and remains one of the most respected botanicals in natural relief.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin

Two of the most widely studied joint-supportive compounds, included to support cartilage health and ease joint discomfort over time.

MSM

A naturally occurring sulfur compound known for supporting joint flexibility, reducing inflammation, and aiding tissue recovery after activity or strain.

Emu Oil & Aloe Vera

Emu Oil is a premium transdermal carrier that helps deliver the formula deeper into tissue. Aloe Vera soothes the application area, making MAXX Plus gentle enough for sensitive skin and frequent use.
