FlexLip™

Collagen is an essential component of connective tissue and the main building block of tendons. This protein is characterized by a very high resistance to stretching and mechanical damage. French Fish collagen NatiCol^® contained in the FlexLip™ dietary supplement is distinguished by the fact that it has an amino acid profile similar to the human one, which means that this type of collagen is well absorbed and well tolerated by the human body, and the cells are able to use it totally. NatiCol^® fish collagen is characterized by high solubility and bioavailability – the highest quality fish collagen for joints plus a comprehensive set of nutrients in one sachet.

Glucosamine is a component of cartilage and synovial fluid that surrounds joint surfaces. Its natural sources are shrimps, crayfish and crabs but also corn. Glucosamine used in FlexLip™ is of plant origin (from non-GMO fermented corn, gluten-free), therefore the supplement is crustacean-free and safe for people with seafood allergies. Glucosamine supports the proper functioning of the joints.

Phosphatidylcholine is the most important phospholipid contained in sunflower lecithin. Phospholipids play a very important role in metabolic processes. They are part of all biological membranes of our body, regulate the activity of enzymes, as well as permeability, transport and membrane potential. They are an integral component of plasma lipoproteins. It has been found in scientific studies that phosphatidylcholine has a positive effect on the cardiovascular system, lowers cholesterol, reduces the synthesis of triacylglycerols, inhibits platelet aggregation and lowers blood pressure. Phosphatidylcholine increases the level of choline in the plasma and in the brain, and accelerates the neuronal synthesis of acetylcholine, which is a neurotransmitter.

Takes an active part in the endogenous synthesis of collagen, which is a component of articular cartilage, therefore it is believed that vitamin C is responsible for the flexibility of the joints and, consequently, contributes to reducing the risk of injury. In addition, vitamin C is necessary for the formation and secretion of ossein – a component bone building block, which means that a vitamin C deficiency can cause too few bone building cells or bone decalcification. Vitamin C also helps in the proper functioning of the immune system, contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and helps protect cells against oxidative stress. The productcontains two forms of vitamin C (sodium L-ascorbate and L-ascorbic acid), which makes it safe for people with stomach ailments.

An important component of articular cartilage, effectively supports its regeneration. Its main task is to eliminate friction between the contacting movable articular elements. It is one of the most important components of joint cartilage. Chondroitin protects the joints from abrasion and supports their regeneration. Research has shown that it has anti-inflammatory properties. Chondroitin makes the joints more durable and flexible. Chondroitin sulphate is most often obtained from beef, pork, poultry cartilage and cartilaginous fish. Chondroitin products available on the market differ in molecular weight and bioavailability. Fish-derived chondroitin is characterized by a much greater bioavailability compared to other types of chondroitin. FlexLip™ preparation uses the highest quality chondroitin from cartilaginous fish.

The main task of hyaluronic acid is to bind water. Every day, about 30 percent of the naturally present hyaluronic acid is broken down by new acid molecules in its place. However, with age, its amount gradually decreases, which causes the degeneration of the tissues in which it is located. In the joints, hyaluronic acid is a component of the synovial fluid; it determines its viscosity and lubricity, and thus the proper functioning of the joints.
