FlexiAid is formulated to improve mobility, increase flexibility, and relieve discomfort in a natural supplement to have a positive affect on joint, muscle and nerves. The ingredients work together to support whole body wellness in the normal range and maintain a healthy response, especially to overexertion and impact, including muscle and occasional or infrequent lower back pain.
FlexiAid’s all-natural ingredients help to metabolize damaged proteins that may occur as a result of overexertion or minor aches and pains plus also intended to help support normal circulation. This formula contains Bromelain, a protein-digesting (proteolytic) enzyme complex, shown to break down a wide variety of protein types in a range of both acid and alkaline environments.
Taken to support naturally healthy joints, muscle and nerves FlexiAid provides essential vitamins, minerals, and herbal extracts to support mobility, increase flexibility, and relieve discomfort.
Other products may cost less, but they're also less effective! They contain fewer ingredients or lessen the quality and cheapen the product. FlexiAid is formulated to improve mobility, increase flexibility, and relieve discomfort in a natural supplement. Do yourself a favor and start with the BEST.
Fungal Protease- used to help break down and digest damaged proteins that can become prevalent during overexertion. Plus used to help hydrolyze hemoglobin and support normal circulation.
Serrapeptase- used to reduce the impact of overexertion on the joints and muscle tissue. The subject of a number of clinical studies, Serrapeptase is a strong supporting player in the FlexiAid formula.
Bromelain- recognized by the Commission E in Germany for its many benefits, a proteolytic enzyme that helps to metabolize damaged proteins resulting from overexertion while supporting normal circulation.
Papain- is naturally found in the papaya fruit and has been found in numerous studies to be extremely effective in metabolizing and digesting damaged proteins.
Bacterial Protease- included in this formula due to its broad substrate specificity and its ability to hydrolyze interior bonds of proteins, creating smaller peptides for damaged proteins to further hydrolyze.
PLUS - Devils Claw Root Extract, Ginger Root Extract, and White Willow Bark for their benefits of dealing with minor aches and pains

Q. Can I take FlexiAid along with glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate?
A. You can take FlexiAid along with other supplements for joint health. There is no contraindication between FlexiAid ingredients and glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate.
Q. Should I start exercising once I get started on FlexiAid?
A. You can wait until your body gives you the go-ahead to exercise. Working out when the joints are still inflamed can certainly begin to loosen them up, but this means simple exercising such as walking or cycling. Working out with full workouts in the gym needs full support of your joints – but as you improve your flexibility from within by taking the FlexiAid, you will feel that it’s time to exercise. This is the time to go to the gym. Never force yourself to go to the gym to do full workouts when you have joint issues.
Q. How long does it take to have more energy when on FlexiAid?
A. The amount of time it takes to feel more energy varies with each person. Most people can expect to feel a difference after a few days to up to one week.
Q. How large are the capsules? I have trouble with the typical capsule so was wondering about the size.
A. It's fairly large like a Multivitamin. Similar to most vitamins and supplements.
Q. Should I tell my doctor I am taking FlexiAid?
A. It’s always a good idea to mention you are taking herbal supplements, although many doctors may not be well versed in them. However, they may be aware of certain contraindications to the use of some supplement ingredients.
