1. What are the ingredients of FLEXJOINT+?
The ingredients of FLEXJOINT+ are Glucosamine HCL, Chondroitin Sulfate, Collagen type II, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Salix Alba (White Willow) Bark Extract, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol).

2. What are glucosamine, Chondroitin, Collagen Type II, Sodium Hyaluronate , Salix Alba, Vitamin D3 and B6?

They exist originally in joints and synovial fluids.

• Glucosamine stimulates Proteoglycan and Chondroitin production. Joint cartilages and synovial fluid are rich in proteoglycan, which acts as a sponge with a function to store water, reduce friction and absorb shock.
• Chondroitin is a major component of cartilage. It stores water and nutrients, which nourish the joints and function as buffers and lubricants to resist compression. Cartilages cover and protect the end of bones, which maintain their smooth movement.
• Collagen Type II makes up 85-90% of the collagen in articular cartilage. It is the essential building block of articular cartilage and it forms fibrils, which entrap proteoglycan to the right position and provide tensile strength to tissues.
• Sodium Hyaluronate generally known as Hyaluronic Acid. It is a major constituent of synovial fluid. It serves as a primary lubricating agent in the fluid. Helps in improving joint mobility and absorbs water in cartilage, making joints more resistant to compression. In addition it reduces inflammation, swelling thus increasing flexibility.
• Salix Alba (White Willow Bark) depends on symbiotic or "friendly" intestinal bacteria to digest its components into painkilling forms. Unlike Aspirin, this provides a longer pain relief effect. The salicylates in willow bark do not increase the risk of bleeding and do not usually irritate the lining of the stomach.
• Vitamin B6 is a water soluble vitamin and it is the cofactor in many metabolisms. It can reduce swelling and inflammation of joints. Also, it can treat and prevent bone degeneration.
• Vitamin D3 a form of vitamin D. it can alleviate joint pain and promote healthy bone formation and mineralization.

3. Why do we need glucosamine, Chondroitin & Collagen Type II?

According to WHO statistics, there are 350 million people suffering from joint problems worldwide. As for Hong Kong, around 26% of HK people have suffered from joint pain before, with majority are 40-year-old or above. it ranks the second among Asia.

Glucosamine, Chondroitin & Collagen Type II are essential to healthy joint. However, due to aging and various reasons, the rate of formation of these products is slower than breakdown. This cause a net loss of joint nutrients and this may affect joint functions. Thus, in order to maintain joint mobility and flexibility, replenish of essential nutrients is a must.

5 Main Functions

Supports healthy joint functions

FLEXJOINT+ contains all essential building blocks for aticular cartilage, which replenishes all nutrients loss due to aging. They maintain healthy cartilage and synovial fluids and speed up recovery of any joint damages. This reduces friction between bones and allows free movement of joints.

Promotes mobility and flexibility

As we age, the rate of joint repairing is slower than that of wearing. Situation of stiffness, inflammation and pain may be appeared. FLEXJOINT+, with combination of glucosamine, chondroitin and collagen Type II exert a synergistic effect to promote joint comfort, mobility and flexibility.

Nourishes Joints and cartilages

Chrondroiton in FLEXJOINT+ is known as “liquid magnet” which stimulates the uptake of fluid and nutrients in cartilage. Since joint cartilage has no blood supply, thus, all lubrication and nourishment depend on the fluid inside. Without adequate fluid, cartilage would become malnourished, thinner, drier and fragile.

Strengthens joints & cartilage regeneration

Ingredients in FLEXJOINT+ are all natural compounds found in healthy joint. They include all essential raw materials for chondrocytes to rebuild and regenerate joint and cartilage in a natural way. They stimulate the formation of cartilage and facilitate joint recovery. Sufficient collagen type II helps joint repair and regeneration.

Lowers joint inflammation and relief pains

Wearing of joints leads to inflammation, pain and deformation. The ingredients in FLEXJOINT+ can reduce inflammation, and thus relieve chronic swelling and pain. They regenerate connective tissues and damaged joints, making joints comfortable, pain-free and flexible.

4. Is it safe to use glucosamine, Chondroitin & Collagen Type II?
Taking FLEXJOINT+ is a safe and effective way of treating joint problems. Glucosamine and Chondroitin, alone or together are safe and have few side effects as long as the quantity is suitable.

However, the following people should consult doctor before using this product:

• With heart valves problems
• On medication (eg. Warfarin)
• Pregnant or breastfeeding a baby
• Seafood allergy

5. What are the symptoms of lacking glucosamine, Chondroitin & Collagen Type II?

Symptoms are as below:

• Swelling joints
• Recurring pain or tenderness in any joint
• Redness or heat in a joint
• Limitation in motion of a joint
• Early morning stiffness
• With Cackle sound

6. Why choosing FFC FLEXJOINT+?

Unique fast absorbing liquid formula

Seldom joint supplement in Hong Kong is of liquid formula. As most people with joint problems are elderly, with degenerated digestive system. Liquid formula enables them to swallow easily and conformably compared with tablet or capsules. Also, nutrients in liquid formula can be absorbed more quickly.

7 main ingredients work synergistically

Most of the joint supplements in the market contains only 1-2 ingredients. NULIFE FLEXJOINT+ contains Glucosamine HCI, Chondroitin Sulfate, Collagen type II, Sodium Hyaluronate (Hyaluronic Acid), Salix Alba (White Willow) Bark Extract, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine HCL), Vitamin D3 (Cholecalciferol). Not only promoting joint health, but also bone health
