Joint Flexit by Vit4ever
Some supplements focus on a single substance. Joint Flexit combines eight different ingredients in a capsule. Glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin, frankincense extract, turmeric extract, quercetin, MSM, L-methionine, bromelain and vitamin C from rosehip extract form the basis. Joint Flexit combines these ingredients in one product, instead of separate products containing only one or two substances.
Glucosamine and chondroitin as a base
In supplement form, glucosamine is usually offered as glucosamine sulfate, the form also found in Joint Flexit. A daily dose of 5 capsules provides 2500 mg of glucosamine sulfate. Chondroitin is often offered in combination with glucosamine. The formula contains 250 mg of chondroitin per daily dose, together with 250 mg of turmeric extract standardized to 95% curcumin, the yellow pigment for which turmeric is known. Thanks to this standardization, you know how much curcumin is in each daily dose. There are no authorized health claims for glucosamine, chondroitin or curcumin.
Frankincense extract and boswellic acids
Frankincense extract is obtained from the resin of the Boswellia tree. The extract in Joint Flexit is standardized to 65% boswellic acids, compounds that occur naturally in the resin. Each daily dose contains 330 mg of frankincense extract, of which 215 mg are boswellic acids. Boswellia serrata, the scientific name of the tree, grows mainly in dry, rocky areas in parts of Africa and Asia. The resin has been used there for centuries, nowadays in standardized extract form that can be precisely dosed.
MSM, quercetin, bromelain and L-methionine
In addition to the four main ingredients, Joint Flexit contains four additional substances. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in plants, animals and humans. Quercetin is a plant substance belonging to the flavonoid group and occurs naturally in, among others, onions and apples. Bromelain is an enzyme obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant, not from the fruit itself as many people think. L-methionine, finally, is an amino acid that your body cannot produce itself: you get it through food. Each of these four substances provides 42 mg per daily dose. Together they form the complementary layer of the formula, alongside the four main ingredients that account for the majority of the weight.
Vitamin C from rosehip extract
The vitamin C in this formula is not synthetic, but comes from rosehip extract, the fruit of the wild rose. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones and blood vessels. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin C also contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. A daily dose of 5 capsules provides 12.5 mg of vitamin C, equal to 16% of the reference intake. The vitamin C in Joint Flexit is part of the broader formula, not the main ingredient. Anyone specifically looking for more vitamin C will find that sooner in a separate vitamin C supplement.
With 180 capsules per bottle and a daily dose of 5 capsules, you get 36 daily doses per package. The eight ingredients and the vitamin C together make this a broad formula, with a daily dose that can be taken in a few seconds.
