Flex up, move freely

- Relieve joint discomfort with VitaHealth Vita Flexiplex.

“MY knee creaks when I bend.” “My lower back is very tight when I get out of the bed in the morning.” “My knee feels stiff after sitting for long periods of time.”

These are some common complaints you tend to ignore and think as just a sign of ageing.

Poorly functionin­g joints can literally rob you of your freedom and take your joy out of living. It may mean it is hard for you to get out of bed or keep up with your daily activities, not to mention enjoy your hobbies. It also causes emotional stress, which adds to your pain.

Healthy joints matter

A joint is where two or more bones meet. In healthy joints, bone ends are covered with a layer of tough but slippery tissue known as cartilage. The cartilage acts as a cushion between the bones so that they can glide smoothly over one another. The inner membrane of synovial joints, known as synovial membrane, secretes lubricatin­g synovial fluid into the joint cavity to reduce friction between the articular cartilages during movement.

Yet, ageing, repetitive wear-andtear and forceful movements put an incredible amount of stress on your cartilage. Eventually, the cartilage between the joints breaks and wears away. This causes the adjacent bones to rub against each other and the friction leads to aggravatin­g pain, swelling and stiffness in the affected joints. These symptoms tend to worsen over time.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) and Methylsulf­onylmethan­e (MSM): Your answer for optimal joint health

Flex up and move freely without the pain of joint woes with VitaHealth Vita Flexiplex.

Exclusivel­y formulated with non-animal-sourced HA and MSM, it helps enhance joint mobility, keeping you moving flexibly and comfortabl­y. It is available in vegetarian capsules and certified halal.

Hyaluronic acid

Naturally occurring in synovial fluid, HA lubricates and cushions the joints to reduce bone-to-bone friction. It also helps absorb shock in joints during rapid movements. However, the level of HA tends to dwindle as you age, leaving your joints stiff and painful.

It is therefore important to consider taking oral supplement­ation to replenish the diminishin­g stores of HA in the body. The HA extracted from streptococ­cal fermentati­on has an optimal molecular weight that is readily absorbed for optimal joint health.

Methylsulf­onylmethan­e

MSM is an organic sulphur-containing compound vital in maintainin­g and repairing connective tissue in the joints. It is beneficial to alleviate joint discomfort, stiffness and swelling.

Why let joint pain ruin your life when you can fix it for good? Get relief, move freely and live a fulfilling life without the pain of joint woes today.
