Arthritis

Arthritis is a group of conditions where there is damage caused to the joints of the body.

Arthritis is the leading cause of disability in people over the age of 55.

 

There are many forms of arthritis, each of which has a different cause.


Rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis are autoimmune diseases in which the body is attacking itself. Septic arthritis is caused by joint infection. Gouty arthritis is caused by deposition of uric acid crystals in the joint that results in subsequent inflammation.

 

Additionally, there is a less common form of gout that is caused by the formation of needle shaped crystals of calcium pyrophosphate. This form of gout is known as pseudogout.

 

The most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis is also known as degenerative joint disease and occurs following trauma to the joint, following an infection of the joint or simply as a result of aging. There is emerging evidence that abnormal anatomy may contribute to early development of osteoarthritis.

 

 

Risks of NSAIDs

Any prescription NSAID, including CELEBREX®, VIOXX®, BEXTRA® may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. This chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors for it, such as high blood pressure, or when NSAIDs are taken for long periods.

 

These medicines also increase the chance of serious skin reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. With any of these medicines, patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers.

 

People with aspirin-sensitive asthma or allergic reactions due to aspirin or other arthritis medicines or certain drugs called sulfonamides should not take NSAIDs. Understanding the risks and benefits of different NSAIDs is important. All NSAIDs can help relieve arthritis pain, but with very serious consequences and side-effects.

 

FLEXTIVA® is an all natural anti-inflammatory that works the same way as an NSAID, but without the concerns of side-effects and a prescription.

At The Core

FLEXTIVA® is a major breakthrough in stamping out inflammation, rebuilding cartilage, joint space narrowing, and as a popular alternative treatment for joint pain.  It's use is therapeutic and is 100% safe.  It's remarkable ability to inhibit inflammation at the joint level is astounding.

Below, we provide brief descriptions of the key ingredients found in FLEXTIVA® and their supporting effects.

The introduction of Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides (AMP) to FLEXTIVA® was a remarkable breakthrough for its success on the battle against joint pain.  Aloe mucilaginous polysaccharides are long chain molecules, composed of individual mannose and glucose molecules connected together. These molecules are extracted from the inner gel of aloe vera, by way of lyophilization.  FLEXTIVA® is the only joint pain dietary supplement to contain this beneficial compound, making it a highly effective and sought out alternative to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. When taken on a consistent basis, Aloe Mucilaginous Polysaccharides control the arthritic inflammation of the lining of the joints and reinforces the body's immune system.

One of the many proprietary anti-inflammatory compounds of FLEXTIVA®, Boswellia (boswellia serrata), has long been recognized in medicine for its anti-inflammatory benefits.  Today, scientists studying extracts of boswellia are reporting that it can switch off key cell signalers and pro-inflammatory mediators known as cytokines in the inflammatory cascade.1

With the help of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) as a second layer for anti-inflammatory benefit, FLEXTIVA® is able to suppress pain and improve physical function.2

Bromelain, a natural occurring source, can be beneficial in a vast array of medical conditions.  It was first introduced in 1957 and works by blocking proinflammatory metabolites that accelerate and worsen the inflammatory process.  It is an anti-inflammatory agent, and therefore can be used in sports injury, trauma, arthritis, and other kinds of swelling.  It's main uses are athletic injury, digestive problems, osteoarthritis of the knee3, and aiding healing after surgery.

Glucosamine (glucosamine sulfate) is an important building block in healthy cartilage, and as we age, our bodies cannot create these compounds as readily. The glucosamine found in FLEXTIVA® may help repair damaged tissues, however, it's principle role is to delay the progression of joint inflammation and alleviating its symptoms.

There have been multiple clinical trials of glucosamine as a medical therapy for osteoarthritis and the results have been eye-opening. One three year trial4, with at least 202 patients, demonstrated clear benefit for glucosamine as a treatment.  There was not only an improvement in symptoms but also an improvement in joint space narrowing on radiographs.  This suggests that FLEXTIVA®, unlike pain relievers such as NSAIDs, can actually help prevent the destruction of cartilage that is the hallmark of osteoarthritis, without nasty side-effects, and possibly determining disease modification.

More and more joint pain candidates are turning to FLEXTIVA® — they do so to avoid health problems caused by prescription drugs, but more importantly to regain mobility.
