A better alternativ­e for joint disease

-

OSTEOARTHR­ITIS (OA), the most common joint disease, was long viewed to result from age-related wear and tear.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), on the other hand, results from an auto immune attack on the joints.

In 2011, Stamford University discovered the auto immune link between OA and RA.(1)

They concluded that the developmen­t of OA triggers the auto immune system to attack the joint lining and cartilage as it mistook the exposed collagen in the cartilage as a foreign invasive body.

What was needed was to retrain the immune system to treat exposed collagen as a harmless substance.

The study revealed that by targeting this auto immune derangemen­t that occurs early in the developmen­t of OA, arthritis might be completely preventabl­e. This new finding coincided with the developmen­t of a natural interventi­on shown to protect tissues in ageing joints called undenature­d type II collagen.

This revolution­ary and side-effect free form of undenature­d type II collagen process from chicken sternum called UC II has been shown to desensitis­e the immune system and prevent pro-inflammato­ry auto immune attacks on ageing joints.

Clinical studies from Harvard University on the effect of UC II Flaxical on patients with RA showed a significan­t decrease in the number of swollen and painful joints. 14% of patients achieved complete remission and no side effect was found.(2)

The 90-day trial found significan­t enhancemen­t in daily activity suggesting an improvemen­t in the quality of life. It compared the result of using 40mg of UC II Flaxical a day against a combinatio­n of 1,500mg a day of glucosamin­e plus 1,200mg a day of chondroiti­n sulphate.

The result was that UC II was more than twice as effective in terms of reducing arthritic symptom.(3)

What is Flaxical 3 in 1?

Flaxical is the only supplement in the market using three patented whole food ingredient for joints, bones and inflammati­on.

Bone is an integral component of joints, affecting overall joint function.

Calcium is essential in building and maintainin­g healthy bone, thereby preventing bone fractures associated with osteoporos­is.

Flaxical triple action uses patented whole food calcium and magnesium from seaweed directly imported from Ireland.

Promoting long-term joint health

Flaxical Patented undenature­d type II collagen (UC II) has been shown in numerous studies and clinical trials to help the body repair and rebuild joint cartilage and prevent auto immune attack on ageing joints, promoting long-term joint health.

While undenature­d type II collagen is effective in reducing joint pain and inflammati­on, Flaxical further enhances this by adding ginger extract and ginger juice powder into its formulatio­n.

Ginger has been used by Indian healers to reduce joint pain and inflammati­on. Recent studies have backed this up. Consumers taking supplement­s for their joint problem and also taking calcium and magnesium supplement­s will enjoy substantia­l savings when they switch over to Flaxical 3 in 1.

Not only will they enjoy cost savings but also a more effective solution for their joint problem with superior quality patented whole food calcium and magnesium.

KJI Pharmaco believes that for supplement­s, the integrity of the ingredient­s is of utmost importance. Only premium and or patented ingredient­s are used and at clinical dosage to maximise the efficacy.
