Arthritis treatment with Flextiva

FLEXTIVA® is a major breakthrough in arthritis treatment, stamping out inflammation, rebuilding cartilage, joint space narrowing, and as a popular alternative treatment for joint pain. It's use is therapeutic and is 100% safe. It's remarkable ability to inhibit inflammation at the joint level is astounding.

Below, we provide brief descriptions of the key ingredients found in FLEXTIVA® and their supporting effects.

The introduction of Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) to FLEXTIVA® was a remarkable breakthrough for its success on the battle against joint pain. Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides are long chain molecules, composed of individual mannose and glucose molecules connected together. These molecules are extracted from the inner gel of aloe vera, by way of lyophilization. FLEXTIVA® is the only joint pain dietary supplement to contain this beneficial compound, making it a highly effective and sought out alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. When taken on a consistent basis, Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides control the arthritic inflammation of the lining of the joints and reinforces the body's immune system.

One of the many proprietary anti-inflammatory compounds of FLEXTIVA®, Boswellia (boswellia serrata), has long been recognized in medicine for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Today, scientists studying extracts of boswellia are reporting that it can switch off key cell signalers and pro-inflammatory mediators known as cytokines in the inflammatory cascade.1

With the help of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) as a second layer for anti-inflammatory benefit, FLEXTIVA® is able to suppress pain and improve physical function.2

Bromelain, a natural occurring source, can be beneficial in a vast array of medical conditions. It was first introduced in 1957 and works by blocking proinflammatory metabolites that accelerate and worsen the inflammatory process. It is an anti-inflammatory agent, and therefore can be used in sports injury, trauma, arthritis, and other kinds of swelling. It's main uses are athletic injury, digestive problems, osteoarthritis of the knee3, and aiding healing after surgery.

Glucosamine (glucosamine sulfate) is an important building block in healthy cartilage, and as we age, our bodies cannot create these compounds as readily. The glucosamine found in FLEXTIVA® may help repair damaged tissues, however, it's principle role is to delay the progression of joint inflammation and alleviating its symptoms.

There have been multiple clinical trials of glucosamine as a medical therapy for osteoarthritis and the results have been eye-opening. One three year trial4, with at least 202 patients, demonstrated clear benefit for glucosamine as a treatment. There was not only an improvement in symptoms but also an improvement in joint space narrowing on radiographs. This suggests that FLEXTIVA®, unlike pain relievers such as NSAIDs, can actually help prevent the destruction of cartilage that is the hallmark of osteoarthritis, without nasty side-effects, and possibly determining disease modification.
