The Problem – Help for Joint Discomfort Sufferers
The recent removal from pharmacy shelves of Vioxx® and other such Cox-2 inhibitors has severely impacted countless Americans.
These drugs, which were designed to minimize gastrointestinal issues common with other anti-inflammatory medications were, in fact, producing harmful and sometimes deadly side effects of their own.
So where can people suffering with joint discomfort now turn for relief?
Enter Patty McPeak
Patty McPeak believes that the root of American public’s health problems is ‘severe nutrient deprivation’, brought about by our eating processed foods that do not provide the body with the nutrient tools it needs to heal itself. She has spent most of her life educating us as to the benefits of proper nutrition.
Some 30 years ago Patty discovered the incredible nutritive value of rice bran. The outer layer of a rice kernel is removed when rice is milled and turned into white rice. But this outer layer contains the majority of the nutritive value. In addition, rice bran is rich in polysaccharides (which aid in the synthesization of collagen in the body) and importantly, in phytosterols, which contain anti-inflammatory properties.*
So Patty and the scientists at her company NutraCea went to work to create a method to capture and preserve the rice bran.
Introducing FlexProtex®
In mid-2005, Patty’s company was issued a new patent from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office entitled “Methods for Treating Joint Inflammation, Pain and Loss of Mobility”.
FlexProtex® is designed to increase joint health and flexibility naturally, reduce joint inflammation.
Unlike the prescription drugs referred to, FlexProtex® is a completely all-natural product that includes Cox-2 inhibitors. The body uses these inhibitors to block the Cox-2 enzyme and the discomfort and swelling that is produced as their byproduct.*
The base ingredient in FlexProtex® is the stabilized rice bran, known as Risolubles®. This is extracted from the brown portion of rice grain, which is removed when rice is milled into white rice.
This is fortified with a number of other natural supplements:
- N-Acetyl-Glucosamine – a building block of joint and connective tissues.*
- Curcumin - derived from Tumeric, an all-natural cox-2 inhibitor.*
- Ashwagandha - which can help reduce discomfort and is an antioxidant.*
- Boswellin – a natural cox-2 inhibiting herb used by native Indians to reduce discomfort.*
- Yucca – a native Indian root*
Taking Flexprotex®
Each bottle Of FlexProtex® contains 120 capsules.
The recommended dosage is 2 capsules twice daily, so each bottle should last for a month. Two to three months use is recommended by Patty.
