When joint pain and stiffness holds you back from doing the things you love, Flexiseq For Osteoarthritis Max Strength 50g unique drug-free action works only where it’s needed to lubricate joints affected by osteoarthritis. Apply FlexiSEQ Max Strength twice a day in the morning and evening on hands, knees, hips, shoulders and other joints affected by osteoarthritis to provide pain relief and fight joint stiffness in a couple of days.
FlexiSEQ treatments are drug-free and relieve the pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. FlexiSEQ exerts its pain-relieving effect via lubrication of the joint which is a physical mode of action. It has no pharmacological, metabolic or immunological activity. FlexiSEQ is a gel containing Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech), which are tiny lipid spheres. As the gel dries on the skin, these spheres change their shape and pass through the skin, then into the joint where they lubricate the surface of the cartilage to provide relief from pain and stiffness. They are compressible and deformable, yet stable.
Patients with joint disorders such as OA 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 OA. There is also strong evidence in published literature that liposome vesicles can act as a bio-lubricant in the knee joint, and hence can reduce pain and improve mobility.
Research has shown that following topical application of FlexiSEQ, the Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech) pass through the skin and enter the synovial joint where they collect on cartilage surfaces. The physical properties of Sequessome vesicles (SEQ Tech) make them particularly efficient at lubricating the joint surfaces.
Drug-free
Unlike traditional pain killers that temporarily relieve inflammation to mask pain, FlexiSEQ Max Strength’s drug-free treatment lubricates the cartilage in joints to help you regain pain-free mobility.
It can also be used alongside traditional pain medication with no drug-to-drug interactions. This is particularly beneficial to the following osteoarthritis patients:
- Patients looking for a drug-free formula with reduced systematic side effects.
- Patients who need treatment that can be used longer than 14 days.
- Patients for whom NSAIDs are not suitable.
- Patients taking medications that may interact with traditional painkillers.
Clinically proven
In studies across almost 1,500 osteoarthritis patients, FlexiSEQ showed improvements in pain, joint stiffness and physical function, as well as an impeccable safety profile.
SEQ Tech
FlexiSEQ Max Strength helps to relieve pain and improve joint mobility thanks to billions of plant-based, oily droplets called Sequessomes. Activated when our gel dries on the skin, these tiny, flexible droplets pass through the skin and into target joints, where they localise on cartilage surfaces to form a lubricating layer. We call our unique lubricating mode of action SEQ Tech and it’s the revolutionary driving-force powering FlexiSEQ Max Strength.
Unlike most pain treatments, FlexiSEQ treatments are drug-free and therefore have an excellent safety profile. They can be used by patients with other conditions such as high blood pressure and by patients who take numerous medications. Unlike drug-based painkillers, which can only be used for short periods, FlexiSEQ can be safely used long-term as part of your daily healthcare regimen.
FlexiSEQ has a physical mode of action, while Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) 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 a heart attack and these side effects can be very serious. In contrast, the side effect most commonly reported for FlexiSEQ is mild or moderate skin irritations that are temporary and usually resolve over time without stopping treatment.
There is increasing awareness that oral NSAIDs are not suitable for patients with certain other conditions (such as heart disease, asthma and stomach ulcers), or those who are on specific medications or are elderly. These patients will therefore benefit from the availability of this drug-free, effective topical treatment.
