Better option for joint disease
THE most common joint disease, osteoarthritis or OA, has long been viewed as resulting from age-related wear and tear. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) conversely, is the autoimmune attack on joints.
Medication like painkillers (analgesics) to non-steroidal anti-inflammation drugs (NSAID) and steroids do not prevent or cure the problem, yet has side effects that can be life-threatening.
In 2011, a group of researchers from Stamford University discovered the link between OA and RA. (1)
They concluded that OA development triggers the autoimmune system to attack the joint lining and cartilage as it mistakes the exposed collagen in the cartilage as a foreign invasive body.
The study revealed that early treatment of OA development can prevent arthritis. This new finding coincided with the development of a natural intervention shown to protect tissues in ageing joints called undenatured type II collagen.
A revolutionary undenatured type II collagen process without side effect from chicken sternum called UC II Flaxical has been shown to desensitise the immune system and prevent pro-inflammatory autoimmune attacks on ageing joints.
Clinical studies done by scientists at Harvard University on RA patients using UC II Flaxical showed a significant decrease in the number of swollen and painful joints. About 14% of them achieved complete remission with no side effect found. (2)
In a 90-day trial on the effects of UC II Flaxical on OA patients, Harvard scientists found significant enhancement in daily activity, suggesting improvement in the quality of life. (3)
Flaxical 3 in 1 is a supplement using three patented whole food ingredient for joints, bones and inflammation.
As the bone is an integral component of joint function, calcium has become a popular supplement in the market today.
Consumers believe that essential for healthy bone building and maintenance, preventing bone fractures due to osteoporosis.
In studies and trials, UC II Flaxical has shown to help the body rebuild joint cartilage and prevent autoimmune attacks on ageing joints while promoting long-term joint health.
It also contains ginger extract and ginger juice powder to help reduce joint pain and inflammation.
Flaxical 3 in 1 consumers will also enjoy cost savings from a more effective solution to their joint problem with superior quality patented whole food calcium and magnesium.
