Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM in Pills, Tablets, and Creams are Partially Absorbed or Not at All! Save Your Money.
Q: What makes FlexEasy™ different from other supplements?
A: FlexEasy™is in liquid form for maximum absorption so you aren't
wasting your money only absorbing partial amounts of pills or tablets.
Finally, beware of companies that have lots of different ingredients listed as being in
their product but the amounts are so little in quantity. This, in effect, makes these
ingredients not as available and/or in non-helping amounts to the body. But it sure looks good on
their label! For example, FlexEasy™ has 500 mg Boswellia per serving available
to the body, whereas a competitor only has 8mg per serving!
Q: What is in FlexEasy™ and how much do I take
per day?
A: FlexEasy™ is a 32 day supply where you take 1 fl. Oz. Per day (2 Tbsp.). It has
a Tangerine-Orange flavor and you can take it alone or mix it in any drink you wish. You can find the ingredient list on the home page.
I personally take 1 Tbsp. in the morning before work and 1 Tbsp. at night before bed.
(I've had three knee surgeries before the age of 18 from athletics. I know what joint
pain is about!)
Q: Can people who are allergic to sulfite and sulfate-containing drugs still take
glucosamine sulfate?
A: Yes it is safe to take for those of you who are allergic to sulfite and
sulfate-containing drugs. Because the word sulfate in this instance refers to the mineral
sulfur and not the class of molecules categorized as sulfites and sulfates that are used in
drugs and as preservatives. No one is allergic to the mineral sulfur as it is already in
cells of the body.
Q: A medical doctor said glucosamine supplementation can worsen his diabetic condition by
disrupting his sugar regulation. Is that true?
A: A recent report in the Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism (Pouwels, M.J., et al,
2001: 86, 5: 2099-2103) demonstrated that even when glucosamine was infused directly into
the brachial artery of 18 healthy subjects, there was absolutely no evidence of blood sugar
irregularities or disruption of insulin secretion.
Furthermore, because arthritic patients can become more active with the help of
glucosamine, then that in itself will improve the diabetic state as exercise improves
insulin sensitivity, reduces excess body weight and improves many facets of cardiovascular
health. It will still be best to keep your physician aware that you are using glucosamine
so that blood sugar monitoring can be performed. However, glucosamine is not
contra-indicated in diabetic people at this time.
Q: If I am taking an anti-inflammatory medication, can I still use FlexEasy™ at the
same time?
A: Yes, you can take FlexEasy™ concurrently with other prescription
anti-inflammatories in the beginning, as there are no drug-nutrient interactions of concern
here. With time you may be able to wean yourself off of the prescription drugs or greatly
reduce the dosage as FlexEasy™ kicks in.
The only thing to be concerned about is combining FlexEasy™ with Warfarin or
Coumadin as the curcumin content from FlexEasy™ may increase the anti-coagulant
effects of these drugs. However, to date there are no reported cases of this nutrient
producing a bleeding disorder in patients taking Warfarin or Coumadin, so it requires
that the attending physician monitor the prothrombin time or INR, to be sure that it is
in the ideal range. In fact, the use of this supplement should help to lower the required
dosage of Warfarin to attain the desirable range in regards to the INR.

Q: Can I take this if I’m allergic to shellfish?
A: Yes, shellfish allergies are to a protein within the meat of the fish, not the shell itself.
Q: I am allergic to aspirin. Can I take FlexEasy™?
A: There is a natural aspirin like ingredient, white willow bark, within the FlexEasy™ that may cause mild stomach discomfort in those sensitive to aspirin. So please use at your discretion.
Q: I'm ready to benefit from FlexEasy™, where can I buy it?
A: FlexEasy™ can be ordered directly from this website and shipped to your door.
In the near future it will be sold through health food/nutrition stores, chiropractic
clinics and physical and massage therapy offices. If your local store or office isn't
carrying it yet please make sure to mention to them to come to our website and sign up
and order the product wholesale.
