Hello all.

My sister was "listening" to TV and her ears perked up when she heard "neuropathy" being mentioned. It was an infomercial for Flex Protex supplements; and, she heard them say that someones father had neuropathy and these supplements made a huge difference in the control of the symptoms and his quality of life.

Anyone heard of it or used it? I cannot add the link as I do not have enough posts on this forum; but, it's easy to google.

Please let me know if you think this is something worth trying out.

It says that it supports aching joints due to arthritis pain. I have no idea if it works for people with arthritis.

well... I bought some for general aches and pains, but I haven't taken it regularly, so i can't tell you if it is helpful or not.

Since I have some I'll be a tester and I'll start taking it every day and report back if I notice any changes.

I'll go take some right now.

Thanks Jo*Mar ..... hope it helps!

Hi Jo*Mar .... have you been taking the Flex Protex? Is it helping?

Di

I took it regularly for awhile but didn't seem to notice any big difference..
so I kind of let it slide since then.

I don't know if 2 weeks is a good enough trial...or if it is more for joint pain - I have more muscle & soft tissue pain.

I think that is a huge price for a product that contains a list:
proprietary ingredients... which do NOT tell you how much of each is in there.

As well as misspellings of some of the ingredients as well.
Tumeric is not well absorbed, and hyaluronic acid is very expensive and requires high doses.

I never recommend that people try supplement mixtures that do not give better more complete information.

Only two ingredients are listed accurately...and both of them are very inexpensive to buy separately!

Marketing like this lures people in who like expensive technical sounding medical things. But in reality you may be receiving very little besides the Vit C and 1000 IUs of D.
And notice...you have to consume TWO caps to get what is listed!

I think this is very costly for what you get in return, IF you get anything out of it at all! Just my opinion.

There is another Flex Protex list of ingredients:

My comments regarding curcumin still pertain. This is poorly absorbed, unless it has an enhancing oil added, bioperine, or the new microencapsuled beads (this one is hard to obtain).
This one also has a proprietary blend. It appears to be changing or the name is being used by others?
This is a very expensive supplement.

Yep, I agree - I fell for the tv infomercial and thought I'd test it on myself before passing it on to my dad if it worked...

but not even going to suggest it to him.

Sorry Jo.... it is really hard navigating the minefield of supplements.

That is why I come online to help others find what is useful and what is hype.

At least no harm was done to you.

I have arthritis in my knee, which over the years has worsened to the point it interferes with working out, walking, going up stairs. I have tried numerous arthritis supplements and none seemed to do much to alleviate the pain. I decided to try FlexProtex, and within the week my knee pain started to diminish. I was able to workout without an elastic knee brace as well. I don't know how FlexProtex will work for anyone else, but I'm eternally grateful that I found FlexProtex!
