Naturally™ Joint Formula Pain
& Inflammation Blend Chicken Collagen Type II is a chondro-protective agent which can:
Take one capsule twice a day with
meals. That is a total of two capsules daily. You can take it
with the Flex Naturally™ capsules at the same time. It is
recommended that it be taken for three months. After three months
you can discontinue its use. Some people though prefer to continue
which is not necessary if the healthy lifestyle
information listed below are followed along with Flex
Naturally™ , MultiFuel Multiple™ tablets
or capsules,
and Omega
3 Plus Fish Oil. Omega 3 Plus Ultra Pure Fish Oil Softgels It is recommended that if you have inflammation and painful joints and you do not eat omega-3 rich (EPA/DHA) fish two or three times a week, that you use one softgel of Omega 3 Plus Fish Oil three times a day with meals. Return to List Please Note: Omega-3 fatty acids, especially from fish (EPA/DHA), help to control excesssive inflammation which can not only damage the joints but also increase the risk of osteoporosis and heart disease. While the exact dosage of the omega-3 fatty acids of EPA and DHA are not known, the FDA recognizes the reduced risk of heart disease as a "qualified health claim" and recommends two grams ( a gram is equal to 1,000 milligrams) of fish oil a day. One Omega 3 Plus Pure Fish Oil softgel is 1,000 milligrams supplying 360 mg of EPA and 240 mg of DHA. Two softgels totaling 2,000 milligrams would supply 720 mg of EPA and 480 mg of DHA. Return to List However, there are some health care professionals that feel that the requirements are much higher and recommend up to 5 grams a day. Five softgels of Omega 3 Plus Ultra Pure Fish Oil at 1 gram each would supply 1,800 mg of EPA and 1,200 mg of DHA. Return to List Lower dosages are recommended for children. For those on Blood Thinners
MultiFuel™ Iron free Multiple Tablets Due to the number of ingredients and potencies such as the minerals calcium and magnesium being 500 mg each, six tablets are taken daily. You can take two with breakfast, lunch, and supper, or you can take three with breakfast and three with either lunch or supper. I prefer to see people take two tablets three times a day as this keeps the nutrients in your system throughout the day and allows for more efficient absorption. Research shows that taking minerals such as calcium three times a day is absorbed in higher amounts. Take MultiFuel™ for the first three months everyday and then reduce it to Monday through Friday and abstain on the weekends. It is highly recommended that MultiFuel™ be used on a continual basis to maintain the health of the joints and support overall health. If you find taking six tablets a day too much then take at least three a day, or you could take the MultiPrime™ Iron Free Multiple which is just two daily. Return to List Compare the Benefits of MultiFuel™ to Your Multiple I know many people are using other types of multiples, but you really need to consider the quality of the ingredients, their forms, and amounts. For example, if your multiple is using the regular form of folic acid it could be interfering with the repair and function of your DNA which is vital for healthy tissues such as bone, cartilage, synovial fluid and the many other cells throughout the body. MultiFuel™ contains the active form of folate, (Metafolin® L-5-MTHF) L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate, plus the bioactive form of B-12, methylcobalamin. They require no conversion by the liver and can used by the body immediately to support healthy DNA and RNA function as well as maintain healthy levels of homocysteine. Researchers have found that excessively high levels of homocysteine can contribute to cardiovascular diease, stroke, osteoporosis, and forms of dementia such as Alzheimer's disease. Return to List Other Quality Ingredients Check your multiple for minerals in the forms of gluconate, carbonate, and oxide. These forms are difficult to absorb and can cause digestive disturbances such as gas and bloating, and block absorption of other nutrients. MultiFuel™ contains minerals in well-absorbed forms and amounts that can be used by the body more efficiently and do not compete with food and medications for absorption. MultiFuel™ also contains an all-natural full spectrum beta carotene source instead of synthetic beta-carotene alone, and 1,000 IU of vitamin D instead of the typical dosage of 400 IU.
