FLEXICARE CAPSULES-30 CAPSULES

Joints form the connection between bones. These are beautifully designed to let the person move their body and support their weight.  Any damage to the joints from disease or injury can interfere with the movement and cause a lot of pain. Many different conditions can lead to painful joints including Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis, Bursitis, Gout, strains, sprains and other injuries.

Joint pain is extremely common. It can range from mildly irritating to debilitating. It may go away after a few weeks (acute), or last for several weeks or months (chronic). Old age also results in the deterioration of cartilage from normal wear and tear of the passing years. The protective membranes and fluids in the joints begin to dry up in this age. These changes may allow the bones to rub against each other painfully. Whatever the cause of joint pain, the person usually manages it with medication, physical therapy or alternative treatments. The goal of each treatment is to reduce pain and inflammation, and preserve joint function.

Exercise is one of the effective ways, but be careful to stick with low-impact exercises that won't further irritate the joint. Swimming and bicycling are among the best exercises because both allow exercising joints without putting impact on them.

However, research has indicated that Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements can help with joint pain and improve function. Glucosamine sulphate containing supplements are taken orally which raise glucosamine levels in the blood to such levels as to increase the repair (or even reverse) joint damage. External supplement for joints and connective tissues help slow deterioration of cartilage, relieve joint pain and improve joint mobility. They help to reduce inflammation and slow progression of Osteoarthritis. They enhance shock-absorbing properties of collagen thus promoting healthy joints. However proper clinical examination and necessary investigations to diagnose cause of joint pain is not ruled out.

Bakson's Flexicare is a combination of Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulphate which provides relief to moderate-to-severe pain. 

Action of individual remedies

Glucosamine & Chondroitin: These two joint supplements are from substances naturally found in healthy cartilage. Glucosamine sulphate – alone or in combination with Chondroitin sulphate – appears to relieve pain, improve joint mobility and slow osteoarthritis-related damage to the joints.

Vitamin D3: Vitamin D has long been known to promote healthy bones by helping them absorb calcium.

Ginger: Ginger decreases joint pain and inflammation.

Methylsulfonylmethane: The sulphur compound Methylsulfonylmethane is found naturally in the body and in animals, fruits, vegetables, and grains. It reduces joint pain and inflammation. It also seems to act as a painkiller by quieting nerve impulses that transmit pain.

Boswellia Serrata (Indian frankincense): The active components (Boswellic acids) have anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain-relieving) properties. It also may help prevent cartilage loss and inhibit the autoimmune process.

Rose Hip Extract (Rosa canina): It has immunosuppressive effect that helps to improve the joint health by reducing pain and stiffness.

Folic acid: Folic acid is vital for making red blood cells, as well as, the synthesis and repair of DNA and RNA. It aids rapid cell division and growth, enhances brain health, helps in the reduction of pain and inflammation by inhibiting pro-inflammatory chemicals, slows the progressive disease and also decreases joint damage.

Vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 reduces homocysteine, an amino acid found at high levels in people with Rheumatoid arthritis.

Zinc: It may play an important role in Osteoarthritis as appropriate level of zinc is required inside the cartilage.

Copper: Helps in the synthesis of collagen, a structural protein in bones and joints.

Manganese: Helps reduce inflammation in the joints and tissue.
