Alfa Vitamins’ Al-Flexil is a formula consisting of Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Collagen and MSM that can be used as a nutritional supplement for the improvement of arthritis.In its category of natural products to alleviate the pain of arthritis, Alfa Vitamins offers you this formula with the purpose of lessening the symptoms of the painful arthritis disease.
Why are Chondroitin and Glucosamine contained in Alfa Vitamins’ Al-Flexil?Chondroitin is an important part of the joints and bones. In its bio-active form, Chondroitin Sulfate provides the aqueous link between joints and the connective tissue, increasing the elasticity and its cushioning properties, which are reinforced when taken along with Glucosamine Sulfate. Glucosamine is found naturally in the body. Glucosamine stimulates the formation and repair of the articular cartilage. Chondroitin Sulfate is another natural substance found in our bodies which prevents that other enzymes degrade body elements whose main function is to make up the articular cartilage.
What are the main effects of Chondroitin and Glucosamine on the betterment of our health?
There are many theories about what causes osteoarthritis, but in reality we do not know what causes this disease. Osteoarthritis is often described as arthritis of "natural debilitation". However, this explanation is not correct. Osteoarthritis often takes place in several joints at the same time; it is frequently symmetrical on both sides of the body.
Chondroitin and Glucosamine Sulfate are natural substances that stimulate the formation and repair of cartilages.
People who consume these dietary supplements can obtain long-term results. There is recent evidence that seems to verify this allegation. Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate have been used in Europe for several years and few side effects have been reported. In addition, Glucosamine and Chondroitin have anti-inflammatory effects that may be responsible for pain relief. Also, they may restore or repair cartilage.
The main function of Glucosamine is to stimulate the manufacture of substances needed to repair damaged cells and therefore it does not function as an analgesic; that is, it does not lessen the pain immediately but does start a process of repair which results begin to be noticed in about 2 or 3 months. It seems that some people lack the ability to produce glucosamine and this has been suggested as a major factor for developing osteoarthritis. The beneficial results of glucosamine are in the long run since it is not a medicine, but a dietary or nutritional supplement. Therefore, it takes more time to appreciate its benefits in comparison with anti-inflammatory products like Ibuprofen.
Glucosamine contributes to eliminate the major causes of inflammation by inhibiting the enzymes that cause the degradation of white blood cells and chondrocytes (cartilage cells), which have an excessive activity in ailing joints. In addition, Chondroitin Sulfate favors the regenerative process of cartilage, thus it helps rebuild healthier joints. In natural therapies of articular disorders, Chondroitin Sulfate and Glucosamine Sulfate are often associated because these two substances are complementary of each other. In the process of cartilage repair, Glucosamine Sulfate increases the action of Chondroitin Sulfate and it is complemented by improving the action of natural defense mechanisms. Based on studies in humans, there is good evidence that confirms the use of Glucosamine Sulfate in the treatment of mild to moderate osteoarthritis.
Glucosamine is a naturally monosaccharide obtained from chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer on the planet.
Alfa Vitamins’ Al-Flexil also has among its ingredients Collagen and Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM by its acronym in English). MSM is an organic source of sulfur that heightens the benefits of Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Also, Collagen helps with the rehabilitation and restoration of damaged cells.
