It contains Glucosamine; a naturally occurring amino sugar formed from glucose and L-glutamine in the body and is renowned for safeguarding joint health.

• Athletes, active sports persons and gym members who tend to use their joints and muscles continuously to maximum.

• For those who have gone through cartilage, ligament and other joint related surgery.

• Ideal for those who may have had accidental injuries or sprains.

How does Bioflex Glucosamine Gel work?

Glucosamine provides the building blocks needed to repair and produce tendons, ligaments and connective tissue; it also improves synthesis of synovial fluid. Glucosamine is a major precursor of hyaluronic acid, this is found in the viscous fluid (synovial fluid) that cushions our ligaments, cartilage, tendons and spinal discs.

The Glucosamine is able to facilitate the manufacture of the hyaluronan, collagen and proteoglycans, which are necessary for the restoration of articular cartilage and the lubricant synovial fluid, however, if there is breakdown of hyaluronic acid due to free radical damage or in the event of any form of inflammation, injury, operation or damage from sports, means there is a breakdown of synovial fluid into a watery crumbly consistency, hence the growing wear and tear on our joints and increasing creakiness as we age.

Glucosamine works to help renew and repair cartilage, and maintain the lubricating properties of fluids in and around the joints. The lack of Glucosamine in our body leads to the gradual thinning of cartilage, which lines our joints and eventually promotes to Osteoarthritus. ‘Osteoarthritis is a common disease that develops when linings of joints fail to maintain normal structure, leading to pain and decreased mobility’. It is associated with aging and injury (it used to be called “wear-and-tear” arthritis), and can occur secondary to many other conditions. (Pharmacy Health Notes)

‘Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition; it is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the joints and sometimes other parts of the body’. (Pharmacy Health Notes).

Bioflex glucosamine gel contains a specially formulated blend of Glucosamine Hydrochloride with added menthol oils, which is used traditionally for it’s anti-inflammatory properties, soothing action and muscle relaxant, together it provides support when the gel is massaged into tired, aching joints and muscles.
