A Powerful Formulation to Help Strengthen and Maintain
Bone and Joint Health while Helping the Body’s Response to Pain* |
|
|
- Flexitol was specially designed by a board certified pain management physician to help patients and individuals just like yourself manage pain and associated symptoms of pain more naturally, without the side effects sometimes associated from prescription and OTC medications.
- Flexitol goes beyond most natural pain relief supplements to help block not just one – but both - inflammatory pathways in the body. Our exclusive dual-action formula provides clinically researched ingredients that assist the body to block both the COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes for a more gentle, comprehensive and whole body approach to pain management.
- The Flexitol Advantage
The combination of 5-LOX/COX inhibitors are part of an emerging science in the treatment of pain due to inflammation. These enzymes act by blocking the formation of both prostaglandins and leucotrienes - however, do not affect lipoxin formation and do not have the disadvantage of selective COX-2 inhibitors which can sometimes add distress to the gastrointestinal mucosa (stomach lining).

Products and enzymes of arachidonic acid metabolism involved in the inflammatory process |
Both conventional NSAIDs and selective COX-2 inhibitors primarily exert their activity by reducing the production of prostaglandins induced in the inflammatory process. In recent years, it has been clarified that this action is only one part of the arachidonic acid pathway. Due to advanced studies, it is now clear that prostaglandins and leucotrienes have complementary effects, without damaging the stomach lining.

The Flexitol Formula
Compelling new studies indicate that the ingredients in Flexitol provide a whole body approach to pain management. Flexitol’s dual-action formula works with the body’s own natural metabolic pathways to block both COX-2 and 5-LOX enzymes to help in the anti-inflammatory process more fully.

- The Flexitol Plan
As we age, so do our bodies. Around our mid-40s or early 50s, we may experience a gradual decrease in our muscle size and strength and our bone mass and density. Along with taking Flexitol, you may wish to further enhance healthy bones and joints by choosing a lifestyle that includes daily physical exercise, weight management, eating a healthy diet rich in nutrients, and go for regular check-ups by your healthcare professional.
- Physical Activity
A sedentary lifestyle can lead to excess body weight, which can further put extra strain on already burdened bones and joints. The right physical activities, especially weight-bearing exercise, can help keep your joints flexible, muscle surrounding joints strong, bone and cartilage tissue healthy and a manage pain that has developed from a lifetime of over-exertion. Ask your healthcare professional about the following activities and develop a program that is just right for you.
- Daily Stretching
- Swimming
- Golfing
|
- Walking
- Cycling
- Lifting Light Weights

Healthy Dietary Tips
Although a healthy diet is critical for everyone starting from early childhood, those who are concerned about their bones and joints may need to pay even more attention to what they eat on a daily basis, especially as we age.
