Agel™ FLX was formulated to take advantage of 4 fantastic ingredients that have all been found to be very beneficial in the maintenance of healthy joints and maximum flexibility. This formulation is a first, not only because it contains all 4 ingredients, but also because it is delivered in a gel suspension, a remarkable innovation by itself.
Joint pain and immobility associated with osteoarthritis are a problem that is increasing around the world. Tens of millions of people in the United States alone are forced to limit their activity and therefore have a hindered lifestyle as a result of poor joint health. As our population continues to age, this problem will continue to increase and therefore, so will the need to alleviate the cause and the symptoms of this painful and debilitating condition.
Osteoarthritis is the term used to describe joints that have deteriorated and become inflamed as a result of damaged cartilage. The cartilage serves as the cushion at the joint surface, and when it is damaged and worn, it becomes roughened and patchy, sometimes to the point of bone-on-bone friction. These roughened surfaces cause inflammation, subsequent pain, and a decreased range of motion of the joints. Osteoarthritis has many causes, many of them relating to extended use and abuse over the course of many years. In fact, practically everybody has, or will experience some degree of osteoarthritis at some point in their life. But, there are some physical conditions and other predisposing factors that accelerate this process including the following: obesity, poor nutrition, genetics, traumatic injury, and overuse. In fact, some people even develop some degree of joint pain and degeneration by their teenage years.
So, what are the answers to this complex problem? There are many medications available today that address only the symptoms of osteoarthritis. Most of them are known as NSAID’s or Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs. These are more commonly known by the names of Ibuprofen, Naproxen, and Aspirin. There are also some other even more potent medications available, but a physician must prescribe them. Although frequently effective at alleviating the symptoms of osteoarthritis, the NSAID’s all have significant ill-health-related consequences with long-term use. In addition, they don’t address the underlying problem, that being the worn cartilage and damage to the joint itself. In fact, some studies show that these medications accelerate the progression of osteoarthritis.
As a result of the limitations related to the currently available medications for osteoarthritis, there has been significant research done to identify other means of addressing this condition, and better yet of preventing the premature deterioration of the joint cartilage itself. As this research has progressed, there have been some rather remarkable discoveries. Researchers have identified some of the key building blocks in our joints and cartilage and have found naturally occurring sources of them in our environment. By studying the effects of incorporating these components into our diets, scientists have found some wonderful results with regard to the improvement of joint health, and even the slowing of joint degeneration. They have concluded that by orally ingesting some of these compounds that are important factors in the regeneration and maintenance of healthy joints, we can delay the process and even improve the symptoms of osteoarthritis. That is remarkable.
So, what are these compounds that have been found to be so helpful in maintaining healthy joints? There are four that we will address here: Chondroitin, Glucosamine, MSM (MethylSulfonylMethane), and Celadrin (a proprietary combination of cetylated fatty acids). These four ingredients have all been found in clinical trials, individually, to improve joint function and health. They have become a mainstay and a very important ally to those who suffer from joint pain and immobility. What’s more, they have been found to slow down the process of joint deterioration, and are fast becoming a mainstay for all adults who want to maintain healthy joints and active lifestyles.
Wouldn’t it be great if there were a product available that had all 4 of these ingredients in one formulation? What kind of synergy would be present if all 4 of these natural joint health wonders were able to perform together in a single blend?
