Flex Protex Reviewed – How Safe and Effective Is This Product?

What are the ingredients of Flex Protex?

The listed ingredients of Flex Protex are fairly difficult to explain. The listed ingredients are divided into two parts. The first part is a proprietary blend, and the second seems to be some vitamins which are thrown in for general health. These vitamins consist of vitamin C and vitamin D. Although vitamin C and vitamin D are effective for immune system health and the growth of bones, they are not necessarily what most customers look for when attempting to relieve joint pain, either caused by increased athletic athletic activity, or by serious forms of arthritis.What is of more concern to customers, there is very little explanation offered as to the ingredients of the proprietary blend of Flex Protex, so let's take a quick look at the ingredients of this proprietary blend and attempt to determine if any of these ingredients are effective joint care.

Firstly, the proprietary blend for Flex Protex is listed at nearly 1000 mg, which makes up the majority of the pill. These ingredients are listed as a form of glucosamine, rice flour, turmeric extract, primrose oil, chondroitin, green lipped mussel, and hyaluronic acid. Please note the green lipped mussel and hyaluronic acid are actually misspelled on the label. It is not clear if these spellings are meant to confuse customers of Flex Protex, remove liability, or simply as a sign of poor quality control. This is obviously a very bad sign.

Furthermore, it is telling that the actual ingredient amounts are not listed in the proprietary blend, although this is very important, it may not be immediately noticeable to all customers. Generally, the Flex Protex ingredients are listed in order of amount. However, the specific amounts are not listed, Therefore it can be assumed that there is an extremely small amount of chondroitin present, and perhaps larger amount of glucosamine. The presence of glucosamine and chondroitin suggest that Flex Protex may help the production of some cartilaginous tissue. However, the fact that the amount in the pills themselves is not stated, suggests that there may be no effect at all, even if Flex Protex is taken for years.

In conclusion, when asked the question, "what are the ingredients of Flex Protex?" the obvious answer is that we don't really know, since the label doesn't really say. The label lists several ingredients, most of which are probably actually the in the pill, but in unknown amounts. Since these amounts are not known, it cannot be said if there are non-listed ingredients, or ingredients in unknown amounts. Vegetable cellulose is also listed as ingredient, and this may act as filler to make up wait for the whatever space is not covered by the listed ingredients. Since these are very poor labeling and quality control practices, I suggest the buyer beware of taking Flex Protex.

Concerns About Taking Flex Protex

Consumers are becoming increasingly aware about the best practices for creating an herbal supplement, and these concerns are generally divided into two categories. The first category is whether or not the company is engaging in ethical marketing practices, and second is whether or not the supplement herbal or otherwise actually contains what the public information suggests. Because the FDA is only one organization, it is very difficult to constantly test all substances for the inclusion of dangerous or controlled substances.

First, let's look at the marketing practices of Flex Protex and determine where exactly for Flex Protex is sold, and under what circumstances. Anyone who shops for Flex Protex will immediately realize that it costs twice as much as similar supplements. On the other hand, many supplements, valued at half of the price Flex Protex claims to be valued at, offer far more reputable labeling practices. Flex Protex is offered through it's home website, and is also available from Amazon.com, listed by the manufacturer. Since the prices are controlled only by the manufacturer, they are not subject to market forces at third-party pharmaceutical retailers. CVS and Walgreens do not offer Flex Protex, likely because the suggested price is exorbitant, and the quality is impossible to determine except through laboratory analysis.

Secondly, the actual manufacturing process has resulted in poor labeling practices for Flex Protex. There are two separate areas of ingredients. First vitamins C and D3, followed by a proprietary blend. So far, so good. The proprietary blend consists of familiar ingredients, many of which are available in other supplements, but the amount of these ingredients present is impossible to determine. Although glucosamine and chondroitin and are among these ingredients, the specific amounts are not listed. This represents an extreme concern for safety--not to mention that customers have no idea what they are buying, and in what amount per Flex Protex dosage.

These manufacturing and labeling practices could be grounds for serious safety concerns. These safety concerns are serious issues for arthritis sufferers, who have no wish to add to potential sources of inflammation, and will very likely prevent customers who pay attention to the label from purchasing Flex Protex, exposing themselves to the safety risks of an unknown proprietary blend. In fact, two of the ingredients (hyaluronic acid, and green lipped mussel) are actually misspelled on the label.
