Flexcin

Flexcin CM8™ is a nutritional supplement that provides relief for painful, stiff, tender and inflammed joints, and improves the flexibility.

The primary patented component of Flexcin is CM8™ - cetyl myristoleate. Typically Flexcin takes about 3 to 6 weeks to start noticing results such as relief of pain and improved mobility. However, liver damage resulting from use of steroids may be a factor affecting response to Flexcin.

The main ingredient CM8 works to lubricate and reduce swelling in the joints. Flexcin also contains a tested and proven combination of enzymes that aid the body in the digestion and retention of all of its ingredients.

Flexcin may be used for:

  • Osteoarthritis
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis
  • Gout
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Bursitis
  • Other joint and muscle conditions

Flexcin Reviews of Scientific Evidence

If you are skeptical about Flexcin we would like to invite you to read the research conducted on its ingredients.

Each serving (3 capsules) contain:

  • Vitamin C 150 mg
  • Calcium 20 mg
  • Zinc 30 mg
  • Copper 3 mg
  • Manganese 10 mg
  • Proprietary blend 1733 mg:
    CM8™ (Cetyl Myristoleate), Glucosamine sulfate potassium, MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane), Collagen Type II, Enzyme blend, Boron Chelate, Bromelain 1500 MCU.

Cetyl Myristoleate

Cetyl Myristoleate (CM), the key ingredient in Flexcin, is a natural medium chain fatty acid found in only a small number of species of animals which never get arthritis. Clinical research suggests that Cetyl Myristoleate promotes the growth of cartilage cells, acts as an anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritic, and lubricant for damaged joints.

In the most convincing study supporting pain relieving benefits of Cetyl Myristoleate, patients with osteoarthritis received 2 g per day during 2 months. In 68-day placebo-controlled trial on severe knee osteoarthritis Cetyl Myristoleate has been shown to reduce pain, improve knee function, and increase knee range of motion.

Another study found a topical cream consisting of a blend of cetylated fatty acids to be effective for improving knee range of motion, improving ability to climb stairs, rise from a chair, and walk, and improving balance, strength, and endurance.

Glucosamine sulfate

Glucosamine, another essential component in Flexcin, plays a key role in building cartilage, the tough connective tissue that cushions the joints. Results from several well-designed scientific studies suggest that glucosamine supplements may be an effective treatment for osteoarthritis of the knee or hip. Glucosamine can relieve pain, improve function, and reduce joint swelling and stiffness.

According to the results of a multi-centre European study, glucosamine sulphate is more effective than the over-the-counter painkiller acetaminophen on joint pain.

In a double-blind study, 252 German patients with osteoarthritis of the knee received 1,500 mg of glucosamine sulfate per day in three divided doses. After 4 weeks, glucosamine sulfate was more effective than placebo in reducing pain and improving mobility.

Not all studies are positive, however, and some recent ones have not found any positive outcome from taking glucosamine.

A brief review of clinical studies shows that Cetyl Myristoleate and Glucosamine in Flexcin may be beneficial in the treatment of various types of arthritis including chronic and refractive cases.

Flexcin is safe to take in conjunction with other medications.
