What are the active Ingredients in Flexi-5?
    1. Microlactin
Microlactin is a new direction in joint care recently shown to be 60% more effective than Glucosamine in improving overall joint function.
The active ingredients in MicroLactin are concentrated milk proteins.  These proteins are found naturally in cow's milk and are comprised of unique antibodies and other bioactive micronutrients.  Using a patented process that isolates and concentrates these natural proteins in sufficient quantities,  MicroLactin can be encapsulated.

    2. 5-Loxin
5-Loxin is the most potent Boswellia serrata extract available.
Boswellia is a plant used for thousands of years in traditional medicine in India.  Recent studies have shown its benefits in promoting joint comfort, knee mobility and walking distance.  AKBA is the most powerful boswellia compound. 5-Loxin is a concentrated Boswellia extract that supplies 10 times more AKBA than an ordinary Boswellia supplement! Boswellia Serrata [standardized for acetyl-11-keto-B-boswellic acid (AKBA) minimum 30%].  5-LOXIN is a registered trademark of PL Thomas & Co., Inc.  International patents pending.

    3. Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid is vital to healthy cartilage.
Every part of our body with connective tissue or muscle contains synovial fluid or hyaluronic acid. 

    4. Boron
Boron is essential to bone health.
Boron is a natural ingredient and is present in many foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes. We rarely, if ever, eat enough of these in a modern diet to supply the amount of boron necessary for good bone health.

What does MicroLactin do?
MicroLactin is a revolutionary new dietary supplement clinically proven to promote healthy joint function.  This unique product has been shown in published clinical trials to significantly decrease joint pain and stiffness and improve mobility and range of motion.  It is well tolerated, easy to take, and safe. Studies showing benefit for endurance athletes and muscle recovery benefits are also available.

What does 5-Loxin do?
5-Loxin is a special extract of the boswellia serrata plant. 5-LOXIN supports joint comfort and mobility. New studies show 5-Loxin also helps inhibit the action of enzymes that break down cartilage and joint tissues.

What does Hyaluronic Acid do?
Hyaluronic acid acts like the synovial fluid in our joints that cushions movement, preventing pain.  

What does Boron do?
Boron is a trace mineral that assists the absorption of calcium for increasing bone strength.  Researchers have concluded that boron is an essential factor in facilitating the bone-building effects of key nutrients such as calcium, magnesium and vitamin D. Recent studies also indicate that boron-related biochemicals may decrease the production of pain-provoking indicators.

How does Flexi-5 work?
Flexi-5 is a unique combination of the latest joint care and pain reduction breakthrough ingredients. We have formulated the perfect proportion of ingredients for you. MicroLactin works by making the "tight junctions" of the blood vessels even tighter.  This in turn significantly reduces the emigration of neutrophils to the site of pain (i.e. sore joints).  As a result, the cycle of soreness and pain is broken, resulting in better feeling joints, increased flexibility and quicker joint recovery. 5-Loxin inhibits an enzyme called 5-lipoxygenase. 5-Loxin's action is very targeted so it does not produce the negative effects of prescription pain relievers. 5-Loxin helps inhibit collagen degradation, and protects joint cartilage and tissues by inhibiting (MMP) \x96 enzymes. Hyaluronic Acid helps keep joints and cartilage lubricated, encourages water retention in bodily tissues, and helps deliver nutrients to and carry toxins from cells that do not have a blood supply (like cartilage).  Boron helps our bodies absorb and use calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium. Boron is a key element in our battle to maintain healthy bones and joints. 

What is the recommended dose of Flexi-5?
Clinical studies support using a loading dose of four (4) capsules twice daily for the first 5-7 days, followed by a maintenance dose of two (2) capsules twice daily thereafter.  Some people with severe symptoms may require the loading phase for up to 10 days.

Do I need to take Flexi-5 every day?
Yes, a continuous daily supply of the concentrated micro-proteins found in  MicroLactin and nutrients found in 5-Loxin and Hyaluronic Acid is necessary to maintain positive effects.

Should I take Flexi-5 before or after a meal?
For maximum benefit, Flexi-5 should be taken twice daily - once in the morning and once in the evening.  It is best taken after a meal.

When will I start to feel the benefits of Flexi-5?
In clinical trials with both MicroLactin and 5-Loxin, participants experienced significant improvement in joint health in just 1-2 weeks.  Many users report benefits in the first few days of use.

What age do you have to be to take Flexi-5?
To date, the ingredients have only been clinically tested in adults.  Use by individuals under the age of 18 should be done under the care of a health care provider.

Does Flexi-5 have any side effects?
No.  In clinical studies, no reports of serious adverse events were recorded with any of the ingredients in Flexi-5. 

Are there any health conditions or medications that interact with Flexi-5?
Only 2 to 5% of the population have an allergy to cow's milk protein.  Those individuals should avoid taking MicroLactin and any supplement containing MicroLactin.  In addition, milk proteins in MacroLactin may interfere with the activity of tetracycline-type antibiotics. 
Please consult your physician. 

Can I still use Flexi-5 if I'm lactose intolerant?
Yes, MicroLactin is 90% lactose free.

Can Flexi-5 be taken with other joint health products?
Yes, Flexi-5 can be taken with any other joint health product.  Please consult your physician if you are taking any prescription medications.

Does Flexi-5 have any benefits other than joint care?
Yes.  There are published clinical trials illustrating the benefit of the active ingredients in MicroLactin in maintaining a healthy body - refer to the research link page.  There are potential benefits in sports recovery that is supported by a clinical trial showing improved recovery times in long distance runners.
Recent research is showing important applications in helping preserve bone mass and prevent degredation,  due to the increased absorption of calcium and magnesium.
