Flexellent® helps keep bones normal and supports digestion
BioCC OÜ researchers have created a synergistic food supplement Flexellent ®, which supports the structure and function of the joints, and also has an antioxidant effect and supports the normalization of the gastrointestinal microbiota.
What does Flexellent ® contain?
Flexellent® contains egg shell hydrolyzate (BiovaFlex® 450 mg), vitamin D 3 (cholecalciferol 10 µg), vitamin K 2 (MK7 or menquinone-7 15 µg) and 5 billion beneficial live lactic acid bacteria specific to the human microbiome ( Lactobacillus plantarum Inducia ® , Lactobacillus plantarum MCC1)
Why is joint health important?
The health of the joints is important so that daily tasks are pain-free and it is possible to practice an active lifestyle and do sports. The condition of the articular cartilage plays an important role in how healthy we perceive our joints. Because articular cartilage surrounds the ends of bones and acts as a shock absorber, we often feel joint problems first when running. If considerable wear and tear of the articular cartilage has already taken place, the person starts to feel pain - in this case, it is osteoarthritis.
What is BiovaFlex®?
BiovaFlex® is a water-soluble eggshell hydrolyzate that contains several biomolecules necessary for the construction of human articular cartilage:
Collagen gives joint cartilage and connective tissues strength, elastin gives elasticity.
The amino acids desmosine and isodesmosine are responsible for the elastic (contraction and stretching) properties of elastin.
Glycosaminoglycans ( chondroitin and hyaluronic acid ) and their building block glucosamine are components of connective tissues, cartilage and joint fluid.
What does the manufacturer of BiovaFlex® confirm?
Clinical trials with BiovaFlex® eggshell hydrolyzate (450 mg) found that:
- The discomfort in the lower back decreases by the 5th day.
- 4x more activity and easier handling of daily tasks.
- More than 15% increased joint range of motion.
- 5x reduced joint stiffness compared to placebo.
The indicators improved the most in people whose complaints were greater. The claims come from the BiovaFlex ® website. These claims have not yet been evaluated by EFSA.
This product is not intended to treat, prevent or diagnose any disease.
Who should use the food supplement Flexellent ® ?
- For the prevention of joint ailments due to aging.
- For athletes - whether you're a professional, a hobbyist or planning to get back into sports after decades.
- In case of joint ailments caused by obesity.
- Those who do hard physical work.
- Patients with osteoarthritis.
Lactic acid bacteria L.plantarum INDUCIA ® and MCC1
These are living lactic acid bacteria characteristic of the human microbiome, discovered by Estonian scientists and studied in many ways. The healing properties of bacterial strains have been proven by clinical trials on hundreds of people and patented in Estonia, Europe, the USA and several Asian countries (see patents: EE05341B1, EE05721, EP2288360, US10272122)
L. plantarum INDUCIA ® and MCC1:
Vitamins D 3 and K
Vitamin D is necessary for the normal absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract, thereby ensuring bone strength. However, it is less known that vitamin K 2 (mainly the MK7 form) is necessary for the binding of calcium to the matrix of bone tissue. The latest research also supports that taking these vitamins together has a better effect on bone health than using them separately. Compared to other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin K stores are small and therefore a constant supply is needed. The vitamin K form menaquinone-7 contained in the food supplement Flexellent® is particularly well absorbed and has the highest bioactivity.
