Usage Instructions and Side Effects
You
should take ¼ oz of Flexicose per day. For the first 2 weeks,
it is helpful to double your daily dose (to 1/2 oz.) for maximum
relief if you have never taken glucosamine before, or if you have
been off glucosamine for more than a three months.
¼
oz is the same as one half (1/2) tablespoon or one and a half (1.5)
teaspoons. For those who do not want to hassle with measuring out
each dose separately, Flexicose contains a built
in measuring device that is very simple to use, even for our
customers who already have severe joint discomfort. Simply open
the left cap and gently squeeze until Flexicose fills up to the
appropriate measuerd dose. Then simply drink Flexicose straight
from the bottle or mix it with your favorite drink. You may easily
mix it with sodas or juices. For pets, you can simply pour over
their food. It just doesnt get any easier.
Because
Flexicose works with your body to help promote the health of your
joints after years and years of wear and tear, you will start to
notice relief after seven to fourteen days, maybe add another week
for severe cases. While some of our customers have reported results
in as little as just a few days, sometimes right away, most people
will take upto two weeks for Flexicose to work for them. Continue
taking your Flexicose every day and you will pretty quickly begin
to feel relief. In very advanced cases, it may take close to a month
to start to reduce your discomfort by a substantial level. Remember,
unlike harsh NSAIDs, you are not just masking the soreness, you
are working on improving the health of your joints. Just like a
cut, it cannot not heal overnight. If you wish to continue taking
your NSAIDs such as aspirin or ibuprofen while you are taking Flexicose,
that is perfectly ok. You should start to notice that the amount
of NSAIDS you need to take will become less and less over time until
after a few weeks you are likely to not need to take any at all.
Side
Effects, Contraindications, Interactions:
Shellfish
Allergies
Because
most glucosamine is derived from shellfish (a few manufacturers
offer it derived from corn), you should consult your doctor prior
to starting glucosamine therapy if you suspect you may have a shellfish
allergy. If the glucosamine is pure but derived from corn, it is
still possible that people who are allergic to shellfish can take
glucosamine. Because the allergic reaction is to the proteins in
shellfish and glucosamine is derived from Chitin, a carbohydrate,
it is generally ok to try glucosamine, under the guidance of a doctor,
because the processing that takes place to extract the glucosamine
destroys the proteins and the antigens that the body would normally
react to. Despite this, our personal recommendation is to avoid
glucosamine if you are allergic to shellfish. If you are allergic
to shellfish but must take glucosamine, speak with your health care
professional first before initiating any glucosamine therapy and
discontinue if you notice any negative effects.
Diabetics
Insulin
levels with glucosamine (HCL or Sulfate) can be subject to fluctuations,
particularly in diabetics. Glucosamine is technically a carbohydrate
(a sugar), but the body is not able to convert glucosamine into
glucose. Hence, glucosamine does not directly provide additional
sources of glucose. In diabetic patients, many factors can lead
to changing blood levels and as a result it is very important to
check with your doctor prior to initiating glucosamine therapy and
to be sure to be very careful (as always) about monitoring your
blood sugar levels while on Flexicose. Most diabetics should not
have a problem with glucosamine. Consult your doctor first.
Pregnant
Women
Pregnant
and lactating women should generally avoid glucosamine simply because
there have not been enough long term studies on the fetus to clearly
say that glucosamine has absolutely no effect on fetal growth. There
is absolutely no known evidence that glucosamine would be harmful,
but it would be best to be safe for the time being, while science
lacks studies specifically addressing pregnant women. As always,
consult your doctor first.
Overdose
Extremely
high levels of Glucosamine (at many, many times the daily dose)
can cause gastric fluctuations such as soft stools, diarrhea or
nausea. You would generally have to take more than one bottle of
Flexicose to induce this. Flexicose does not have to be taken with
meals but it would be convenient to mix with a drink when you take
it if you so desired. We recommend taking Flexicose in the morning
when you go for breakfast. Most people will not have any problems
with Flexicose, especially when taken at suggested dosages.
Aside from those four situations, and when taken as directed, Flexicose
is a very safe product. Unlike harsh and potentially disabling or
fatal drugs like Celebrex® and Vioxx®, Flexicose is very
safe when taken at normal dosages. Most importantly, Flexicose actually
gets to the root of your pain, and rebuilds damaged cartilage. That
is something that no NSAID or COX-II drug can do for they simply
mask your pain. Flexicose helps to promote healthy cartilage and
ease soreness and discomfort.
