About Us

Sober Relief was created by John Gillen, a well-known voice in the UK recovery community. After years of working alongside people striving to build healthier lifestyles, John wanted to create something accessible for everyone – a simple, supportive supplement designed to help people feel more balanced as they work on improving their relationship with alcohol.

More than two years ago, John began developing Sober Relief with experts in nutrition and wellness. Drawing on his own lived experience and his professional background, he focused on selecting ingredients known for general wellbeing support, clarity, and day-to-day balance. The formula went through careful development, review, and refinement to ensure consistency and quality.

Our goal is not to offer medical treatment or quick fixes – but rather to provide honest, supportive daily nutrition that can accompany someone on their personal journey toward healthier habits.

Our Ingredients & Why We Use Them

Our formula combines key ingredients chosen for their role in supporting overall wellbeing, focus, and balance. Below is a simple explanation of each ingredient and why John and the team selected them.

Bacopa Monnieri — 1000 mg

Bacopa is a traditional herbal ingredient used for supporting focus, calmness, and mental clarity. John valued its long-standing role in general wellness and believed it could support people looking to feel more centred and consistent in their daily habits.

Acetate — 250 mg

Acetate is included as a supportive compound linked with energy processes and overall metabolic balance. John’s experience taught him the importance of stability and wellbeing during lifestyle change, and acetate contributes to a more rounded formula.

MCT Oil Powder — 250 mg

MCT oil is known for offering clean, steady energy and supporting mental clarity. John chose to include it because many people working on behaviour change benefit from consistent daily energy and focus.

Other Ingredients

• HPMC Capsule (Size 00) – A plant-based capsule shell
• Microcrystalline Cellulose – Bulking agent to ensure consistent dosage
• Magnesium Stearate – Anti-caking agent to maintain capsule quality

These ingredients ensure the formula remains stable, easy to take, and reliable.
