(ARA) - When your knees are throbbing and your hands hurt so much you can't open a jar, it probably isn't much comfort to know that about 46 million other Americans are going through the same thing. And you may be intimidated by news reports of serious side effects associated with some popular arthritis pain medications.
But you can take heart in knowing there are healthful, natural, cost-effective alternatives to costly, possibly risky prescription medications. Shea, the same ingredient that makes lotions and skin cleansers work so well, is also an effective, natural way to fight arthritis and other types of joint pain.
When crushed and processed, the nuts of the shea tree produce vegetable fats known as shea oil and shea butter (the much-loved lotion ingredient). Both by-products contain triterpenes, a group of active natural compounds that keep plants in good health. Shea triterpenes can help reduce inflammation in humans.
While shea butter contains trace amounts of shea triterpenes, slathering shea body butter on your skin probably won't do much to reduce your joint pain. However, you can take a dietary supplement that delivers a highly concentrated dose of shea triterpenes.
Flex Now with 100 percent SheaFlex 70 contains natural, unadulterated shea oil. Clinically proven to reduce inflammation, limit bone breakdown, retain cartilage and alleviate pain,
FlexNow provides all the help you need to begin moving freely again. It is equally effective for young and old, active or sedentary, and for knee, shoulder, wrist, hip or any other joint pain.
Shea triterpenes work to rebuild the cartilage in your joints - the portion of the joint most likely to break down and cause pain as you age. Research proves that FlexNow is 48 percent more effective than glucosamine in reducing inflammation, bone tissue breakdown and pain.
What's more, the product is safe and meets Food and Drug Administration safety and toxicology requirements. In fact, in 2004, a New Dietary Ingredient application for FlexNow was one of only seven such applications that met all the FDA's safety and toxicology requirements.
Three all-natural softgels a day - taken all at once or throughout the day, with or without food - will provide you with the full pain-relieving benefits of shea triterpenes. Most users will see results within 30 to 60 days.
Don't live another day with joint pain. For a limited time, 30 day trials of FlexNow are being offered for free, simply pay $8.95 for shipping and handling. See the difference for yourself when you get your free trial at
