Flexadin® Plus

Nutritional supplement in the form of chews which help to conserve the health and mobility of the joints. It is composed mainly of glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin, a precursor and one of the constituents of healthy joint cartilage respectively. It protects joint cartilage from the devastating effects of inflammation and stimulates the synthesis of these constituents by increasing the viscosity of the joint fluid (synovial) and by slightly reducing the deterioration of the cartilage.

The chews also contain other chondro-protectors such as manganese sulfate, omega-3 fatty acids, methionine, vitamin E and a plant known as «Devil’s claw». These ingredients all have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which help to neutralize free radicals. The «Devil’s claw» has also demonstrated a reduction in the pain of people suffering from osteoarthritis.
