Are there any studies to substantiate Phylox™ in FlexCare?
The blend of extracts in Phylox™ was shown in in-house studies to effectively inhibit COX enzyme activity. Phylox™ was also shown to be at least as effective and in some cases up to 9 times as effective as the top-selling over the counter and prescription anti-inflammatory drugs in inhibiting COX enzyme activity. Phylox™ did not have any of the side effects that these drugs typically have. Phylox™ was effective in reducing pain and inflammation in individuals with various joint con­ ditions. A double-blind, randomised study showed that individuals with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis in the knees and hips experienced significant pain relief and increased mobility when taking Phylox™. These effects were experienced faster and for a longer duration than the top­ selling over the counter and prescription anti-inflammatory drugs.

What is the source of glucosamine in FlexCare?
The source of glucosamine is chitin, which is obtained from shellfish exoskeletons. The predominant commercial source of glucosamine is from shellfish, but chitin is also naturally found in insect exoskel­ etons and some mushrooms. Some vendors do sell chemically-pro­duced glucosamine (made synthetically in a laboratory, like some vitamins), but it is not as effective as the shellfish source.

Is this product safe?
FlexCare is safe at the recommended dosage. There are no known side effects at the recommended dosage. Women who are pregnant or lac­tating and individuals who have known medical conditions or are taking prescription drugs should consult a doctor prior to using this product.
