Ingredients
OptimaFlex is designed to help anyone improve the movement of their joints and muscles using a natural solution comprised of some of the most effective vitamins and nutrients known to nutritional science. OptimaFlex’s top-quality blend helps to reduce inflammation and increase joint hydration, which can help repair connective tissue and ease pain. This formulation is made of the following active ingredients:

Bromelain
Bromelain is an enzyme that reduces the proteins that are released when a muscle or joint is overextended. These proteins are what lead to inflammation and pain. Studies have shown that bromelain can also reduce bruising, pain and healing time, and can even help as a therapeutic aid in treating inflammatory diseases, such as arthritis and even sinusitis. Bromelain is not found in many competitor products, and more studies are being conducted on this enzyme compound found in the stems of pineapple.

Boswellia
When you feel pain, it’s your body’s way of telling you that something is wrong. Pain is a signal to stop and take care of a problem, and it is caused by the dying of cells. It can happen through trauma, overexertion, illness or infection. OptimaFlex is designed to reduce the enzymes that cause cell death, and thus address pain directly. Boswellia is a form of acid that has been shown to slow cell death by keeping the enzymes that attack cells at bay.

Devil’s Claw
OptimaFlex also includes devil’s claw, which has anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relieving) properties. It is used in the treatment of painful arthritic conditions to help suppress some of the enzymes responsible for creating pain through cell breakdown.

Cat’s Claw
Similar to devils claw, cat’s claw, is also an important component of OptimaFlex. This ingredient has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing the mutation of cells and repressing their increase in numbers. It’s an anti-inflammatory plant native to rainforests, and has been studied for use as a possible anti-cancer drug.

Curcumin
Curcumin has been shown to be an antioxidant and a substance that can help keep inflammation under control by inhibiting two common pain triggers: COX-2 and LOX (enzymes responsible for pain), both of which are known to contribute to arthritis and the breakdown of cartilage. By keeping the cartilage guarded against breakdown, pain will be less likely to occur as the joints will stay more flexible, lubricated and healthy.

Cetyl Myristoleate
The key ingredient in OptimaFlex to supplement the joints is cetyl myristoleate. Cetyl myristoleate has been reported to act as a lubricant for the joints and muscles, helping in the building of cartilage and reducing inflammation. It is an expensive, rare ingredient, but one that has been shown in studies to have impressive results in protecting the joints and lowering the possibility of future damage.

Hyaluronic Acid
Friction can be another cause of joint breakdown and inflammation, and that’s why OptimaFlex contains hyaluronic acid to help reduce friction in the joint cartilage. This molecule creates a viscous environment and helps cushion the joints—acting almost like a protective water bed.

Glucosamine and MSM
OptimaFlex also includes glucosamine and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). Glucosamine has been shown to prevent or reduce the destruction of joint cartilage in numerous studies. It is available in most supplement aisles in stores, and doctors are even beginning to prescribe it to patients suffering from osteoarthritis and other joint problems. However, the quality of these products found in grocery stores usually means a patient is not getting the most optimal form of this amino sugar.
