Product Description: Promote Health, Protect Nature, LiveNutrients Clinically Proven to Support Normal Joint FunctionHealthy Joints Action PlanOsteoarthritis (OA), also known as degenerative joint disease, is the most common of all joint diseases, often caused by wear and tear of joints over time. Weight-bearing joints, especially the hips, knees, and spine, are most affected. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones within the joint can crack, thin, or wear away completely, causing the ends of the bones in the joint to rub against each other. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and decreased joint mobility.Diet Take Futurebiotics FlexMend® and a multivitamin, and eat a diet that emphasizes fiber, complex carbohydrates from solid foods, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Eat healthy fats. Omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, walnuts, flaxseed, and eggs, and monounsaturated fats like canola and olive oil help reduce inflammation. Drink plenty of water. Exercise Moderate daily exercise helps keep joint cartilage lubricated. Focus on low-impact exercises, such as swimming or walking. Studies have shown that strengthening muscles can also reduce joint pressure. Do strength and low-impact resistance training, as well as exercises that increase balance, flexibility, and range of motion. Complementary therapies Isometric exercises, yoga, and other stretching exercises are good for increasing flexibility and range of motion, and massage therapy can help increase blood flow to joints and reduce stiffness. Wet heat packs or soaking in a hot bath can also help. If joint pain is severe, cold packs can temporarily help reduce pain. Dos and Don’ts Maintain a healthy weight. Each extra pound you add to your body weight puts about 3 pounds of extra pressure on your knees and hips. Don’t exercise when you’re tired, as fatigue can cause joint injuries. Measure your progress Check how your joints respond to diet and exercise. Use range of motion, joint discomfort, and inflammation as indicators of success. Always consult your healthcare professional when making decisions about addressing joint problems. Glucosamine® - Vegetarian Source Helps Build Joint Connective TissueOptiMSM® - Shown to Support the Structural Integrity of Joint CartilageHyaluronic Acid - Plays a Crucial Role in Hydrating and Lubricating TissuesClinical Studies Have Shown that the Powerful Botanicals and Complementary Plant Cofactors in FlexMend® Work Synergistically to Support Connective Tissue Integrity, Manage Joint-Related Inflammation, Lubricate Joints, and Promote Overall Healthy Joint Function. Futurebiotics uses a plant-based source of glucosamine. It is derived from fermented corn, without shellfish or animal-derived ingredients, and is Non-GMO. It also does not contain contaminants commonly found in shellfish-derived glucosamine. Glucosamine helps replenish the building blocks of connective tissue and has been shown in clinical studies to help support joint comfort. Using a unique manufacturing process, OptiMSM® is purified via distillation rather than crystallization, reducing the risk of contamination. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) provides sulfur, a nutrient essential for the creation and regeneration of various tissues and the integrity of joint cartilage. Hyaluronic acid helps hydrate and lubricate joints, protecting cartilage from wear and tear and increasing its elasticity and ability to absorb mechanical stress. FlexMend® is further enhanced with complementary herbs that have natural anti-inflammatory activity, including boswellin, ginger extract and turmeric extract. Also contains turmeric root to provide natural plant cofactors created by nature. FlexMend® is fortified with Futurebiotics Bioaccelerators™ and clinically tested Bioperine+ (black pepper extract) to improve nutrient bioavailability, while our proprietary natural compounds of Ginger Extract, Tricatu, high potency Digezyme®, and LactoSpore® help promote digestion and absorption. Sodium Hyaluronate is a vital component of connective tissue. The chemical structure of hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture in joints, improving joint cushioning and lubrication. FlexMend® - Inspired by Nature. In addition to natural plant cofactors like turmeric root, our 100% plant-based formula also contains aromatic plant essences.
