The short version: Glucosamine helps your joints become healthier. Multiple, large scale clinical studies back glucosamine's effectiveness. However, Glucosamine alone is not enough. Most glucosamine products fall far short, only giving you one or two joint health promoting ingredients. Flexicose gives you 14. To achieve truly healthy joints, you also need other supplements such as Chondroitin, MSM, Boswellin, Omega 3, Yucca and Manganese to help maximize joint health and start living life again - on your terms. Only Flexicose contains this powerful and synergistic blend of 14 specific liquid ingredients that were designed from the ground up to work together for maximum joint health. Because Flexicose is a liquid, it is absorbed quickly and you never have to worry about Flexicose not dissolving.

The long version: Proteoglycans are essentially a really thick interwoven group of threads that weave throughout the collagen and cartilage, and are absolutely essential for joint health because they hold many times their weight of water, which both serves to lubricate and nourish the collagen. Not having water in your joints is like trying to run your car without oil - it will destroy your engine - or in this case your joints. Proteoglycans bring and hold that water there and nourish the cartilage.

If the cartilage is damaged, the thread of proteoglycans becomes weak and breaks, or simply "leaks" out, and thus the collagen loses its nourishment system and support system as the proteoglycans (that are dependant largely on glucosamine) lose their ability to bind to the cartilage, and thus float away. The result of all of this is much like the suspension and the shocks in your car in that the cartilage becomes worn out and cannot withstand further shocks and impacts. It may crack or eventually may even wear out completely. Without its proteoglycan support system to keep it together and replenish it, it quickly wears out. When it wears out, you have bone spurs, broken bits of cartilage floating in synovial fluid, bone on bone grinding, inflammation and and debilitation.

Glucosamine is the major building block of proteoglycans. Not only is it a building block for the synthesis of proteoglycans, its mere presence acts as a stimulus to the cells that produce proteoglycans –in fact glucosamine is a key factor in determining how many proteoglycans are produced by the cells. Simply put, the more glucosamine you have (take only what is recommended), the more proteoglycans you have, and the more proteoglycans you have, the more cartilage you can produce. Without glucosamine, your joints essentially "dry out" and just like how rubber gets old, ages and loses its spring, your joints do too. Fortunately, you no longer have to let your joints degrade - glucosamine helps to promote the restoration of your joints, promoting increased movement, flexibility and as a result can make your joints healthier and stimulate cartilage growth.

Glucosamine stimulates the production of proteoglycans and collagen, and it also normalizes cartilage metabolism which in turn, helps promote cartilage health. Glucosamine's powerful effect on cartilage metabolism can in fact help the body to repair damaged or eroded cartilage. In other words, glucosamine strengthens your body’s natural repair mechanisms. Besides stimulating cartilage production, glucosamine also reduces joint discomfort and soreness.

Flexicose is the only product on the market with such a unique blend of powerful and synergistic ingredients. Flexicose has been shipped to over 100 countries worldwide and is one of the top liquid glucosamine products sold today. Try Flexicose out for yourself - I think you will agree that the special blend of ingredients in Flexicose is what really sets it head and shoulders above the rest. Just what does each ingredient do and how do they work together to maximize your joint health? Let's examine each ingredient in depth.

Glucosamine
Glucosamine is technically a form of an amino sugar that plays a major role in cartilage formation and repair. Glucosamine stimulates the production of water-binding glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans, two essential building blocks of cartilage and also inhibits the production of chondrocytes, enzymes that break down cartilage. Glucosamine also appears to suppress the destructive enzymes collagenase and phospholipase. In effect, supplementing with glucosamine is akin to giving your body the raw materials it needs to promote healthy cartilage - but naturally. Glucosamine helps to form tendons, ligaments, cartilage and nails. Glucosamine has so few side effects primarily because it is already a natural component of the body. The only problem with glucosamine is that its natural production in the body seems to fade with time, injury and aging. Supplementing with the glucosamine in Flexicose can help replace lost glucosamine and restore the proper glucosamine balance. Unlike any other product on the market today, Flexicose contains high quality liquid glucosamine sulfate and HCL as well as a unique blend of 12 other synergistic ingredients and it is backed by a full 90 day money back guarantee.

Chondroitin
Chondroitin Sulfate is a component of cartilage. In molecular terms, it is a gigantic molecule, mainly composed of repeated chains of glucosamine sulfate. Because of this, it functions in a way that is similar to glucosamine. Many of the clinical studies with chondroitin utilized injected forms of chondroitin, something we imagine you would prefer to avoid on a daily basis. Fortunately, because Flexicose is a liquid, our chondroitin sulfate boasts a higher bioavailability than mere solid tablets or capsules. The chondroitin, just like the 13 other specially formulated ingredients in every dose of Flexicose helps the Glucosamine do its job better.

MSM
MSM, also known as methylsulfonylmethane, is a major supplier of sulfur, the fourth most abundant mineral in the body. It is related to another sulfur compound, DMSO. In animal studies, joints affected by pain have lower sulfur content. Mice with joint pain, when given MSM, experience less joint deterioration. The results of a preliminary double-blind trial stated that patients with joint pain found that MSM reduced pain after six weeks.

Manganese
Manganese is a mineral essential to the formation of connective tissue (such as cartilage). Therefore manganese is extremely helpful in combating joint discomfort, but there is also evidence that it promotes keeping bones strong and contributing towards the prevention of osteoporosis.

Aloe Vera (as a gel)
Animal studies show that drinking soothing aloe vera can reduce swelling and soreness in arthritic joints. It has been used since early recorded history for its first-aid like properties. Aloe Vera is one of the only known natural vegetarian sources of Vitamin B12, and it contains many minerals vital to the healthy function and growth process of all the body's systems

Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Omega 3 Fatty Acids can not be talked about enough when it comes to helping out your entire body as well as dealing with joint discomfort. They help promote reduced soreness, increase blood flow, as well as promote the reduction of Coronary Heart Disease. Omega 3 (EPA and DHA) should be taken everyday even if one does not have joint discomfort. One should make note to avoid Omega 6, as the average diet is saturated with Omega 6 already. Omega 3 however is generally in short supply.

Boswellia Serrata (also known as Boswellin)
Boswellia, because it has been shown to help promote the easing of soreness, is effective for joint discomfort. Boswellia inhibits pro-inflammatory mediators in the body, such as leukotrienes. Research indicates that long-term use of Boswellia, as opposed to NSAIDs, does not appear to cause irritation or ulceration of the stomach.

Niacinamide
This particular form of vitamin B3 may enhance glucocorticoid secretion, a naturally produced anti-inflammatory adrenal hormone. In clinical trials, it has clearly been more effective than placebo and it has very promising effects for joints. William Kaufman, M.D. published detailed observations on many of his patients with joint discomfort who took niacinamide. He documented improvements in joint function, range of motion, increased muscle strength and endurance.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin needed for the repair and growth of tissues in all parts of the body. Vitamin C is essential for the repair and maintenance of cartilage and bones as well as healing of wounds. It is essential to form collagen, an important protein used to make tendons, cartilage, ligaments, skin, blood vessels, and scar tissue. It also acts as an antioxidant to offset the damage of free radicals.

Vitamin A
Vitamin A plays an important role in bone formation and may also help to reduce the symptoms of joint discomfort. It is also a potent antioxidant and is needed to promote healthy bone development. Low Vitamin A may lead to reduced bone mass and consequently osteoporosis.

Vitamin E
Another antioxidant, Vitamin E may be helpful in both the prevention of and the treatment of joint discomfort (discomfort relief and increased joint mobility). Vitamin E was tested against a NSAID (diclofenac) and was found to be equally as effective. Vitamin E also has many antioxidant properties.

Bromelaine
Bromelaine may be as effective as the NSAIDS, for pain reduction. Use over time may also help with connective tissue disorders. It also appears to have anti-inflammatory properties.

Yucca
There is evidence that Yucca can aid in joint discomfort relief. Yucca may work by blocking the release of intestinal toxins that inhibit normal formation of cartilage.

No other product on the market today contains the powerful, unique blend of ingredients contained in each bottle of Flexicose.

With the ever increasing interest on how to overcome the limitations of living with osteoarthritis, particularly with two major prescription drugs (Vioxx and Bextra) removed from the market, and concerns about long term NSAID usage, two long-anticipated major clinical studies have recently found that Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate, two of the major ingredients in Flexicose, are even better than common pain killers.

*The "GAIT" Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial - Glucosamine Effectiveness (13 Universities - United States Study)
Highlights: After five years of recruiting, testing and analyzing, this trial excitingly reports, “Combining glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate is effective in treating moderate to severe knee pain due to osteoarthritis.”
Under the direction of the NIH (National Institutes of Health), one of the world’s foremost medical research centers, 13 highly prestigious research universities in the United States performed this randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, parallel assignment, efficacy study on over 1,500 osteoarthritis sufferers. Each participant was given a daily dose of either:

--glucosamine hydrochloride (one of the main ingredients in Flexicose)
--chondroitin sulfate (one of the main ingredients in Flexicose)
--some combination of both
--200 mg of the prescription painkiller celecoxib, a cox-2 drug (Celebrex)
--or a placebo

for 24 weeks. All patients' pain levels were evaluated at the beginning of the study and again at the end of the four weeks. The Glucosamine and Chondroitin combination [both are the main ingredients in Flexicose] was found to significantly reduce pain compared to placebo AND Celebrex® (celecoxib), using the WOMAC Pain Index

(Western Ontario and McMaster Osteoarthritis Index). This study marks the very first time that a well designed study of this scale has been done on a supplement and the results were shocking to many but exactly what we at DTC Health have known for years. This study was conducted by the National Institutes of Health at thirteen distinguished colleges, using taxpayer’s –not a manufacturer’s - dollars. These results represent a monumental victory for everybody who takes dietary supplements for their health and well-being. At about the same time the University based GAIT study results were released in the United States, an independent Hospital based European study (known as the GUIDE study) released its results. They too, showed the extraordinary benefits of glucosamine.

*The Glucosamine Unum-in-Die (Once a Day) Efficacy (GUIDE) Trial - Joint Discomfort (13 Hospitals - European Study)
Highlights: “Glucosamine sulfate…might be the preferred symptomatic medication in knee osteoarthritis.” Dr Herrero-Beaumont of the Fundacíón Jiménez Díaz in Madrid, found glucosamine sulfate to be more effective than the over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen for joint discomfort in a multi-center, randomized, placebo- and reference-controlled, double-blind study. This means the study was done at multiple hospitals, was randomized to prevent bias, tested against both placebo and real medications and the doctors did not know who was getting the placebo or the glucosamine. This was an extraordinarily well designed study and the results speak for themselves.
The Glucosamine Unum in Die Efficacy (GUIDE) trial took place in 13 different European hospitals and compared a 1,500mg daily dose of glucosamine sulfate and a much larger 3,000 mg dose of the OTC drug Acetaminophen (commonly found in Tylenol, Excedrin, and many others) to a placebo in 318 patients. After 24 weeks of monitoring osteoarthritis sufferers, the study clearly showed superior effectiveness of the glucosamine dietary supplement (even at half the dosage of the drug) on many levels of discomfort and mobility. The study confirmed that glucosamine was shown to be more effective (at the same dose contained in a daily dose of Flexicose) than the most commonly used pain reliever, acetaminophen.

What does this mean for me?
It has taken over five years for the official results of these well designed studies to finally scientifically prove the effectiveness of Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate, BOTH of which are the main ingredients in Flexicose. This hasn’t stopped our tens of thousands of our worldwide customers from knowing just how amazing Flexicose has been for them. Join them today and start living life again.
