I have been taking Flexamin triple strengh for over a year now. works great for me. no complaints so far. it Does However take about 3-4 monthes before it starts working well.
I am not so happy with Flex a Min now. Thought it was a better product a year ago. Have had great success with Move Free. I feel great. Question about both: they use chinese skullcap, which interacts to reduce BP for those who use captopril. Enalapril as well? I use enalapril. Wonder if it’s dangerous for us.
Actually, I found Flex-a-min to be quite effective, although expensive. I was very disappointed in the Schiff Glucosamine product, which had no effect at all. Flex-a-min started working in 2 days, and after a week my hips feel so much better now and my pain is down 60 – 75%, where I have acute arthritis. I still have flair-ups, but I’m sure as time goes on they will become less frequent. I paid $34.95 for the 120-count bottle, and am very happy with my purchase, because it actually works. Not a placebo. 😀
I have osteoarthritis and I take flexamin triple stregnth, but hour in my job were cut off, so I need coupons in orden to continue taking this medicine.
I have been taking Flexamin for about a year now and I am sold !! My knees feel so much better and they don’t grind as much as they used to. I believe in this product !!
I have used Flex-a-min for about 15 years with great success and no side effects that I can tell. I take it for arthritis in my knees and a bone spur in my right knee. Read an article that says glucosamine chondroitin works for only 30% of the people who take it. I’m in the lucky minority. But it’s no longer sold at the stores where I’ve always bought it, and the price has gotten outrageously high. I WANT AN EXPLANATION! I WILL contact the manufacturers and will keep bugging them until I get a satisfactory answer!
