Same site as my previous post notes that one ingredient - chondroitin - is missing.
"However, in addition to Glucosamine, the substance Chondroitin is important in repairing joint damage and works synergistically with the former to rejuvenate and promote the production of proteins, the building blocks of healthy joints. Flex Protex is lacking this key ingredient in joint health."

This product and its websites are confusing.

Remember...you don't know how much of anything you are getting, in that proprietary mixture!

I'm rather glad to see this old thread bumped up... we have a new opportunity to see how this business treats customers:

And beware of places that put you on an automatic refill list:

This is a true symptom of business scamming!

Seems the name has changed a bit to ride the Vit D wave today.
One can buy quality D3 for pennies a day.

I can understand true research, and desire to really help people thru holistic and supplemental treatments, but to actually create a product that has little or no value - and put a high price tag on it, to specifically bilk the public - just gets my ire up. I guess there always will be 'snake oil ' salesmen as long as humans have ailments and don't trust doctors.

Hello,
When a first time poster comes on a forum to recommend a product CAUTION flags go off in my head. If something great comes along I feel confident when the pro's on this forum gives it a nod, like I've stated many times the people on this forum have helped me more than the medical profession and many thanks to you all.
