Flex Protex and Glucosamine

Glucosamine is one of the building blocks of joint tissue as well as other connective tissue throughout the body.*

Glucosamine, Boswellin and Curcumin

Flex Protex caps FlexProtex is unique because it contains NAG (N-acetyl-glucosamine), an expensive form of glucosamine that isn’t readily available on just any supermarket shelf.

The two other commonly used forms of glucosamine on the market are glucosamine sulfate and glucosamine hydrochloride.

Neither of these forms is used in FlexProtex .

Nutrucea’s decision to use the N-Acetyl form was based on some evidence that insulin resistance may develop from use of the sulfate form. The base ingredient of FlexProtex is Nutracea’s Risolubles® which act as a highly nutritious delivery system for the NAG glucosamine.

The Risolubles® mixture is dried and powdered rice bran made from the brown part of the rice that is removed when rice is milled to make brown rice white. Stabilized rice bran is rich in polysaccharides which help to synthesize collagen in the body.

Rice Bran is also rich in phytosterols, which contain anti-inflammatory properties.*

Two other natural Cox-2 inhibitors, boswellin and curcumin, are also in the formula.

FlexProtex is extremely rich in minerals and trace minerals that enhance the formula’s overall effectiveness.

Finally, MSM has been blended into the FlexProtex formula to compliment and enhance the product’s results by assisting in the reduction of inflammation and increasing joint elasticity and flexibility.* This ensures improved joint motion and helps limit damages caused by injury.*
