What is Flex
Naturally™ ?
A: Flex
Naturally™ is an all natural joint care supplement
formulated with 'safe' patented ingredients
in highly effective forms and amounts such as patented true
chelated minerals from Albion Labs™, the right form of
glucosamine sulfate stabilized with sodium, not the less effective
glucosamine hydrochloride form, MSM, and patented Biocell™
Chicken Collagen Type II with Hyaluronic Acid. Hyaluronic
Acid is required for joint health and declines with age
resulting in reduced lubrication of the joint, weakening of
the cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bones, resulting in joint
stiffness and pain, reduced range of motion, and the daily discomfort
of moving about.
Flex Naturally™ Improves the Quality of Life Without
Dangerous Side Effects
Unlike pain relievers, which offer only temporary relief and
have many dangerous side effects, such as the recent removal
of Vioxx™ for contributing to heart disease, Flex Naturally™
provides 'safe' patented ingredients researchers
have discovered to be essential, and which many people with
arthritis lack, to improve and maintain lubrication, cartilage,
structure and function of the joints promoting range of motion,
comfort, and flexibility. Regular use of Flex
Naturally™ has improved the quality of life for many
people.
Other Benefits of Flex Naturally™
Many customers have commented that Flex
Naturally™ has not only been more effective than many
of the other popular joint care products, but it also has helped
them with other health problems such as osteoporosis, rotator
cuff injuries, restless legs syndrome, spinal disc problems,
meniscus tears, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, and back pain.

Why
Biocell™ Chicken Collagen Type II?
A: Of the 14 types of collagen found in the human body,
collagen II is the most predominant. It makes up 25% of the
protein found in the body and is vital to the structural integrity
of connective tissue which is found in bone, cartilage, tendons,
and ligaments. As we age our level of collagen II diminishes
resulting in weakened connective tissue contributing to weakened
bone, cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Chicken Collagen II
assists the body in restoring this vital substance to healthier
levels which researchers have discovered to be beneficial in
restoring healthy joint and tissue function. Other natural substances
found in Chicken collagen II have been found to reduce inflammation,
swelling, and pain, while increasing lubrication and cartilage
integrity, as well as protect it from enzymes and free radical
damage.
Biocell™ Chicken Collagen
Type II also contains natural occurring hyaluronic
acid which we lose as we age and is essential to the health
of the joints as well as the rest of the body.

Why
Glucosamine Sulfate?
A: Glucosamine Sulfate is used by the body
to maintain healthy cartilage and synovial (lubricating) fluid
production. Recent landmark research, published in the Lancet
Medical journal, has demonstrated that glucosamine sulfate
reduces inflammation and increases lubrication easing joint movement
and increasing mobility. Research has shown that other forms of
glucosamine such as glucosamine hydrochloride and n-acetyl-glucosamine
are not as effective as the sulfate form. Flex
Naturally ™ contains glucosamine sulfate
not glucosamine HCI as found in other joint formulas.
Return
What is MSM?
A: MSM (Methyl-Sulfonyl-Methane) is a natural source of
biologically active sulfur, a molecule found in food, plants,
and every cell of the human body. Arthritics are known to have
deficiencies of this essential nutrient. Organic sulfur is critical
to maintaining healthy cartilage, bones, tendons, and ligaments.
Return
Why Does Flex
Naturally™
Contain Sodium?
A: The developers of glucosamine
sulfate discovered within two weeks of producing it that the moisture
in the air would cause it to slowly deteriorate making it very
unstable causing it to lose its effectiveness. In order to prevent
this from occurring researchers found that stabilizing it with
a base of sodium would protect it from the moisture in the air
allowing it maintain its effectiveness. Its also interesting
to note that in the Nutrition Science News, May 2000, there was
an article on glucosamine by Timothy J. Maher, Ph.D. On page three
of that article under the subheading it had this to say, "The
use of the non-salt glucosamine fails to provide bioavailable
glucosamine because the compound is not absorbed in the gastrointestinal
tract. Instead, it is metabolized by bacteria and excreted in
the feces."
A four tablet serving of Live Well
Naturally's Flex Naturally™ contains 120 mg of sodium
to stabilize the 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate for maximum effectiveness.
This is equivalent to the amount found in two large carrots, an
extremely small amount and poses no health risks. At Live Well
Naturally we will not cut corners or play on people's fears. We
will use only the best ingredients that have been scientifically
proven.

What is the Recommended Dosage?
A: As a dietary supplement take 2 tablets twice per day
with food or as directed by a health care professional.
Return
Can You Take More
Than the Recommended Dosage?
A: Since Flex Naturally™ is not a drug but
an all natural food supplement, an individual can take more than
four tablets a day. It is recommended that individuals who are
200 pounds and over should take a minimum of six a day. After
consistent use for 3 months you can cut back the dosage to a maintenance
level of two to three tablets a day.
Return
How Long Does It
Take Before Any Benefits Are Noticed?
A: Since everyone is different the time period will vary.
For the best results use a minimum of 8 to 12 weeks. For continued
benefits it is best to take Flex Naturally™ on a
regular basis to provide the needed nutrients contained in the
formula to nourish and maintain healthy joint function.
Return
Are the Tablets Absorbed
Efficiently?
A: The tablets of Flex Naturally™ are designed
to break down very quickly after swallowing, within 15 to 20 minutes,
to allow the nutrients to be absorbed.
Return
Does Flex Naturally™
contain Antibiotics, Hormones, Pesticides,
etc?
A: DOES NOT CONTAIN: ANTIBIOTICS, HORMONES, PESTICIDES, STEROIDS,
yeast, dairy, egg, wheat, soy gluten, rice, sugar, preservatives,
artificial colors, flavors, or fragrances.
Return
Is there
anyone who should not take Flex Naturally™
A: The ingredients in Flex Naturally™ have been
used by thousands of people with complete safety for over 4 years.
There are no unnatural drugs or contaminants that would be harmful.
And, even though Flex Naturally™ has proven to be
very safe under all kinds of situations, it is still advisable
to consult your physician or health care professional if you are
pregnant, nursing, or are under the care of a physician due to
an extreme illness.
Return
Are There any Negative
Side Effects?
A: Flex Naturally™ is not a drug and has no known
negative side effects. Some people may find that the1,500 milligrams
of MSM, which provides 500 milligrams of organic sulfur in a four
tablet serving of Flex Naturally™, may be too much
to take in the beginning. If you should develop diarrhea or intestinal
gas from taking four tablets reduce the daily dosage to one or
two tablets a day for a week or two. Increase the dosage to two
or three tablets a day for another week and finally take all four
tablets on the third or fourth week. This will allow your body
time to adjust to the organic sulfur. Some individuals may have
to progress even more slowly.
For some people MSM can have an energizing
effect. If you are one of those then it is recommended that you
do not take Flex Naturally™ at supper or bed time
so as not to disturb your sleep. Instead, take Flex Naturally™
with breakfast and lunch.
