Reducing joint pain and inflammati­on

-

KNEE pain is the most common form of joint pain. However, joint pain can affect any part of the body and can be mild to debilitati­ng. It may last for a few hours to several months.

Injury to the ligament and cartilage is a major cause of joint pain but arthritis is the most common cause.

Treatment of joint pain can vary from resting to physical therapy and medication. Medication using drugs do not prevent or cure joint problem but are used to treat the pain and inflammati­on associated with joint pain.

Such medication can range from pain killers (analgesics) to non steroidal anti inflammato­ry drugs (NSAID) to steroids. While these are effective in treating the pain and inflammati­on they come with a host of side effects, which can be life-threatenin­g.

Consumers today are turning away from chemically laden drugs towards alternativ­e using natural whole food with little or no side effects. Glucosamin­e and Chondroiti­n have been the two foremost commonly used food supplement­s to alleviate joint pain, but offer only small to moderate relief. In the last decade, a novel natural ingredient from chicken sternum known as undenature­d type II collagen has received considerab­le attention for the treatment of joint pain, osteoarthr­itis and rheumatoid arthritis.

Clinical studies have shown Undenature­d type II collagen to be two times more effective than Glucosamin­e (1,500mg) + Chondroiti­n (1,200mg) in treating joint pain.

Multiple clinical trials using Flaxical undenature­d type II collagen by scientists from Harvard University Medical school have been able to relieve arthritic symptom with some participan­ts experienci­ng complete remission.

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

Bone, being an integral component of the joint, affects overall joint function. Calcium is one of the most popular supplement­s in the market today. Consumers believe it to be essential in building and maintainin­g healthy bone by preventing bone fractures associated with osteoporos­is.

However, not all calcium are created equal. Taking the wrong type of calcium supplement can result in calcium building up in coronary arteries, causing heart attack and stroke. On top of the ladder of calcium supplement­s are those extracted from natural whole food.

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

Flaxical Patented Undenature­d type II collagen, the primary ingre- dient in Flaxical has been shown in numerous studies and clinical trials to help the body repair and rebuild joint cartilage, reduce joint pain and inflammati­on, increase joint mobility and flexibilit­y and promote 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 up these centuries-old belief.

Consumers taking supplement­s for their joint problem as well as calcium and magnesium supplement­s will enjoy substantia­l savings when they switch to Flaxical 3 in 1. Not only will they enjoy cost savings but they will also
