Flexiseq For Joint Wear & Tear 100g

Flexiseq For Joint Wear & Tear 100g contains a lower concentration of Sequessome vesicles and is intended for patients who have early stage osteoarthritis, or ongoing joint pain caused by wear and tear that is perhaps not as severe as osteoarthritis but continues to be painful and cause discomfort. SEQ Tech inside FlexiSEQ (for Joint Wear & Tear) helps to restore joint function and relieve the pain associated with joint wear and tear.

FlexiSEQ is an aqueous gel packed with microscopic spheres called Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech). These spheres contain molecules called phospholipids which naturally occur in all cells of the body and variants of which contribute to the lubricating properties of synovial fluid and cartilage. FlexiSEQ is drug free because it uses these Sequessome vesicles, and therefore has none of the side effects associated with other osteoarthritis gels that contain Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs). FlexiSEQ has a physical mode of action, whilst NSAIDs such as ibuprofen have a pharmacological effect and alter physiological pathways in the body. NSAID use is often associated with gastrointestinal (GI) side effects such as ulcers, and cardiovascular (CV) effects such as increased risk of heart attack, and these side effects can be very serious. In contrast, the side effects most commonly reported for FlexiSEQ are mild or moderate skin irritations at the site of application that are temporary and will resolve over time even without stopping treatment in some cases.

How Does Flexiseq Work?

Patients with joint disorders such as osteoarthritis have been found to have reduced levels of lubricants in their synovial fluid and this is one of the factors contributing to the pain and loss of joint function in patients with osteoarthritis. There is strong evidence in published literature that liposome vesicles can act as a bio-lubricant in the knee joint, and hence can relieve pain and improve mobility. FlexiSEQ is drug-free and has no pharmacological, metabolic or immunological activity. FlexiSEQ exerts its pain-relieving effect via lubrication of the joint which is a physical mode of action.

FlexiSEQ is a gel containing Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech), which are tiny lipid spheres or liposomes. They are compressible and deformable, yet stable. Research has shown that following topical application of FlexiSEQ, as the gel dries on the skin the vesicles change their shape and pass through the skin, then enter the synovial joint where they collect in the synovial fluid and on cartilage surfaces to supplement the reduced levels of naturally occurring lubricants. The physical properties of Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech) make them particularly efficient at lubricating the joint surfaces to provide relief from pain and stiffness.

Application

FlexiSEQ must not be rubbed in and must be allowed to dry before covering; drying should take no longer than 10 minutes if the product is applied to clean, dry skin. If drying takes longer than this, ensure that the skin is dry (for example, if applying after a bath or shower) and try using a little less gel. If the drying time is considerably less than 10 minutes, then a little more gel should be used next time. Please wash your hands after applying the gel.
