ORIGINS
FLEXIR Joint Health Complex is a formulation of three botanicals with known benefits in supporting joint health
Terminalia chebula, Curcuma longa (Turmeric) and Boswellia serrata (AKBA). FLEXIR is a global formulation, made from hydroethanolic extracts of these herbs – minimizing regulatory issues. The clinically-studied performance of FLEXIR shows synergistic performance – improving on the performance of any of the ingredients alone.
RESEARCH
A novel, synergistic formulation of three botanicals
Today’s consumers are more conscious of joint and bone health than ever. They’re actively looking for new answers. This novel combination of ingredients delivers a new value proposition to your customers.
Mechanisms of Action have been demonstrated in vitro and in vivo.
Studies of this new ingredient have suggested a mechanism of action for bone structure support through chondrocyte activation:
- Enhanced chondrocyte survivability under inflammatory (IL-1β) conditions (in vitro).
- Improved Glycosaminoglycan production by human chondrocytes.
All constituents of this new ingredient have been shown to be safe by multiple acute, sub-chronic, and chronic toxicity studies.
Clinical Efficacy
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial (105 men and women), daily consumption of 200 or 400 mg C2B-Flex significantly improved Total WOMAC scores in a dose-dependent fashion.
Continuous improvement in Total WOMAC scores was observed throughout the 90-day trial.
Secondary endpoints, WOMAC sub-scores for pain, stiffness, and physical functioning were similarly improved in a dose-dependent fashion for the duration of the trial. Corroborating these efficacy results, Visual Analog Scores (VAS) and Lequesne Functional Index (LFI) showed statistically significant improvement as well.
