Arthritis is an inflammatory process that destroys joint tissue. It affects millions of people worldwide. There are many different forms of arthritis, the most common being rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis is a condition of localized autoimmunity, which causes the destruction of the synovial membrane (which produces synovial fluid) and the cartilage within joints. Without lubrication and the cushioning provided by cartilage, the joint becomes very painful to move. Pain and inflammation, along with stiffness, characterize rheumatoid arthritis. The initial symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis are enlargement of the joints in the fingers, with increasing pain and loss of function as the disease flares up. Eventually, bone erodes away, and conventional doctors usually recommend joint replacement surgery.
In addition to wear, it may sometimes be a matter of hypersensitivity of the joints; there may be chronic inflammation. This can be caused by overburdening or long-term consumption of the wrong food. In particular, this may be caused by absorbing too much omega-6 fat. A situation like this could eventually restrict your freedom of movement and cause an irritating sensation in these spots. As a result, the bowels could also become unsettled. In addition to substances that stimulate the building up of joints,
FlexPro® also contains special, vegetable-based ingredients that are capable of soothing the joints, as a result of which movements will again become as supple as they once were. In Asian countries the powerful and soothing effects of these substances have been well-known for thousands of years. The bowels also benefit from these anti-inflammatory nutrients. It is best to use FlexPro® together with OmegaMatrix® until the hypersensitivity has disappeared. Switch subsequently to the cheaper FlexMatrix®. Consult your physician or our website for dietary advice that is beneficial to the prevention of further inflammation.

Dietary supplements for osteoarthritis.

A large number of dietary supplements are promoted to patients with osteoarthritis and as many as one third of those patients have used a supplement to treat their condition. Glucosamine-containing supplements are among the most commonly used products for osteoarthritis. Although the evidence is not entirely consistent, most research suggests that glucosamine sulfate can improve symptoms of pain related to osteoarthritis, as well as slow disease progression in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee. Chondroitin sulfate also appears to reduce osteoarthritis symptoms and is often combined with glucosamine, but there is no reliable evidence that the combination is more effective than either agent alone. S-adenosylmethionine may reduce pain but high costs and product quality issues limit its use. Several other supplements are promoted for treating osteoarthritis, such as methylsulfonylmethane, Cat'sClaw, Green Tea, Boswellia Serrata, Harpagophytum procumbens (devil's claw), Curcuma longa (turmeric), and Zingiber officinale (ginger), but there is insufficient reliable evidence regarding long-term safety or effectiveness.
