What is Flex+?

Prevx® Flex+ is a potent, high-quality complex of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM.  This supplement is designed to reduce pain, increase mobility and support healthy joint function in adults.  Additional ingredients including manganese and vitamin C help lubricate joints and promote the formation of collagen, connective tissue and cartilage.

Strong evidence supports the combination use of glucosamine and chondroitin together although, dosing should be spread throughout the day to achieve maximum benefit. 

Who can benefit from taking Flex+?

Evidence suggests that those suffering from osteoarthritis or joint pain and stiffness may benefit from taking the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin found in PrevRx® Flex+. 

How much should I take?

The recommended daily dose of Flex+ is four capsules daily, two in the morning and two in the evening for best absorption. 

Can I take Flex+ along with other supplements?

Yes.  Other supplements should not interfere with Flex+.  One exception is chitosan, which is sometimes used for treating high cholesterol.  These products should not be taken together.

As always, consult with your physician before beginning any long-term therapy.

How long will it take to work?

Although individual results vary, many people who benefit from glucosamine and chondroitin, do so within the first month of regular use.  Greater effects may be achieved by longer-term use.

How long should I take Flex+?

Flex+ is intended to be taken continuously as benefits may accrue over time and as part of an overall healthy lifestyle including a healthy diet, regular exercise and weight management.

Are there any side effects?

In a large study, side effects were few and mild such as upset stomach.
