Flexicose Reviewed – How Safe and Effective Is This Product?


Is Flexicose For Humans Or Animals?

Because there seem to be hundreds of supplements which offer glucosamine and chondroitin, consumers immediately notice when one seems to stick out of the crowd. Flexicose certainly sticks out not only because it is a liquid supplement, but also because it is marketed for use by animals as well as people. Flexicose can be found packaged separately for animals in specialty pet stores, and is sold packaged for humans and pets online. Although Flexicose is relatively expensive for both humans and animals, it is a high quality joint supplement, and has been trusted by sufferers from joint pain for years.

In short, Flexicose is available for humans and animals  because there is very little change in formula, although it's not exactly the same.  You're not likely to find Flexicose at CVS, Walgreens, or any grocery store. However it is easy to find Flexicose online, or at specialty pet shops, especially where the joint health of animals is concerned. Animals certainly suffer as much from arthritis as humans do.

Whether or not Flexicose works equally for humans or animals has yet to be determined, since few large-scale tests for joint related delivery of chondroitin, MSM and glucosamine have been conducted for animals, at least concerning the specific proprietary blend which is provided by this brand. As to the question of whether or not Flexicose is safer for humans or animals, is relatively safe or both humans and animals people are frequently administer Flexicose to dogs, cats, and even horses if they are suffering from any kind of arthritis, or demonstrating lameness. Also, observing success with Flexicose in animals has encouraged the development of Flexicose for people. The development of this supplement for people is totally predicated on its successful and popular use for relieving joint pain in animals.

For those who are concerned about the quality of supplements intended for their animals, the standards used for human supplements are just as rigorous as they are animals. A loved animal should always receive a healthy profile of vitamins as well as nutrients to grow healthy connective tissues. This supplement is one of the few products that offers as much concern for the nutrition of animals as it does for human beings. Animal lovers will be glad to see that their needs are being met as well.

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.

Joint Advance - Reviews & Brand Information

Who Makes Joint Advance, and Are They Trustworthy?
 
Joint Advance claims to be supported by the Natural Products Association, which appears to have been in business for over 75 years, wand makes a claim that the company was founded in 2002. That this is one of the first points Joint Advance makes about its supplement indicates that Joint Advance places a great deal of importance in the reputation of a longstanding business. For internet sales, ten years is an eternity.

In general, it is difficult to tell how many of the accolades and labels which are attached to Joint Advance are actually genuine. The best way to find out whether or not Joint Advance is a trustworthy company is to look directly at the ingredients, and examine the publicly available information for scientifically rigorous evidence that the ingredients work. Since most of the ingredients in Joint Advance are supported by science, including glucosamine and chondroitin, and MSM, it is very likely that Joint Advance is at least attempting to solve joint pain problem from a trustworthy stance.

One point in favor of Joint Advance is the relative simplicity of this product. Joint Advance only contains two herbal ingredients which are not supported by large-scale clinical trials. These ingredients are also not contained within a proprietary blend which confuses customers, but are listed simply and outright with the amounts of each herbal additive listed precisely. Joint Advance believes that simplicity is the best way to approach the dietary supplement issue of how to encourage the growth of healthy connective tissue. Remember that, just because some of the ingredients of the supplement may encourage connective tissue growth, does not mean the slideshow open a pain. In most cases, it takes years of therapy and healthy diet in order to encourage enough healthy joint growth to eliminate inflammation. Usually people do not recover from chronic arthritis--that's why it's called chronic. After all, if there were a medical solution to arthritis, then it would certainly be publicly known.

In conclusion, this supplement offers such a simple product that it is very likely the manufacturers have the best interest of consumers at heart. This is not to say that Joint Advance is not a business, as it obviously encourages an affiliate pyramid. This supplement engages in many marketing practices which do not favor the consumer, but the product itself seems to include some basically pure ingredients which do contribute to general joint health.
