CBD TLC! Houston Docs Launch New 'Research-Driven' Hemp Products

TWO HOUSTON DOCTORS have launched a new line of hemp- and plant-based products designed to relieve pain, aid recovery, and promote wellness.


The “research-driven” product line was developed by Revive Biotech, a health and wellness company headquartered in The Woodlands. Slimane Aboulkacem and his Chief Medical Advisor and co-founder, Jeffrey Pruski, focused on developing and manufacturing effective, high-quality pain-relief products.

“Through our global research consortium and tech innovations, we are breaking through a market saturated with varying qualities of hemp-based products to deliver well-researched, advanced solutions that are more effective and affordable for consumers and enable people to revive, move, sleep and feel better for a better quality of life,” Aboulkacem explains.

The new Revive Biotech product line features potent THC-free pain-relief topicals and drops made with carefully selected ingredients from distinguished hemp farms in Oregon. The lineup includes balms, creams, roll-ons, drops and gummies, offering varying strengths of CBD derivatives to aid in pain relief, sleep and overall wellness. All products undergo an extensive three-stage R&D protocol.

Revive Biotech employs pain-management doctors, pharmacologists and organic chemists, and partners with renowned public universities and companies in the U.S. and abroad to formulate and test its products.

The new hemp-based products are available online and at a soon-to-open retail location in Huntsville.

Leadership in Action: John Kuykendall Traded Newcaster Dream for Success in Luxury Retail

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
