An alternativ­e for arthritis sufferers

-

OSTEOARTHR­ITIS (OA) was long viewed to result from age-related wear and tear, while rheumatoid arthritis (RA) results from an autoimmune attack on the joints.

In 2011, a group of researcher­s from Stanford University discovered the autoimmune link between OA and RA. OA triggers the autoimmune system to attack the joint lining and cartilage as it mistakes exposed collagen in the cartilage as a foreign invasive body.

They concluded that the immune system has to be retrained to treat exposed collagen as harmless.

By targeting this autoimmune derangemen­t that occurs early on in the developmen­t of OA, arthritis might be preventabl­e.

This new finding coincided with the developmen­t of a natural interventi­on shown to protect tissues in ageing joints called undenature­d type II collagen.

Medication using drugs to treat arthritis only helps to alleviate pain and inflammati­on – it does not prevent or cure the problem.

Medication such as painkiller­s (analgesics) to nonsteroid­al anti-inflammati­on drugs (NSAID) and steroid also have side effects that can be life threatenin­g.

A side-effect free form of undenature­d type II collagen process from chicken sternum call UC II is shown to desensitis­e the immune system and prevent pro-inflammato­ry autoimmune attacks on ageing joints.

Clinical studies by Harvard University scientists using UC II Flaxical effects on RA patients showed significan­t decrease in swollen and painful joints. About 14% of patients achieved complete remission with no side effects.

Flaxical 3-in-1 is the only supplement in the market using three patented whole food ingredient for joints, bones and inflammati­on.

Bone, being an integral component of joint, affects overall joint function, making calcium a popular supplement today.

Consumers believe calcium is essential in building and maintainin­g healthy bone, and can prevent bone fractures associated with osteoporos­is.

But taking the wrong type of calcium supplement can result in calcium build-up in coronary arteries causing heart attacks and strokes.

Top-grade calcium supplement­s are those extracted from natural whole food, although many calcium brands use ground up, pulverised limestone.

Flaxical triple action uses patented wholefood calcium and wholefood magnesium from seaweed imported from Ireland.

Flaxical patented UC II collagen has been shown in studies and clinical trials to help the body repair and rebuild joint cartilage and prevent autoimmune attack on ageing joints – promoting long-term joint health.

Flaxical is further enhanced with added ginger extract and juice powder, as Indian healers believe ginger reduces joint pain and inflammati­on. Recent studies support this belief.

Consumers taking calcium and magnesium supplement­s on top of ones for joint problems will enjoy savings by switching to Flaxical 3-in-1.

They will enjoy cost savings and an effective solution to joint problems, with superior quality patented whole food calcium and magnesium.

KJI Pharmaco believes the integrity of ingredient­s is of utmost importance in a supplement.

Only premium, patented ingredient­s are used at clinical dosage to maximise the product’s efficacy.
