Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is Syn-flex® (Synflex) considered to be one of the most effective
glucosamine products on the market today?

A. We have taken the utmost care to ensure we provide the highest quality, most effective product. To do this, we use only the highest quality and purest ingredients. In fact, we use 98% pure liquid glucosamine with ten other high quality synergistic arthritis-fighting ingredients in a premium
formula developed for maximum absorption and relief. In addition, each batch of Syn-flex® (Synflex) undergoes a laboratory analysis to ensure ingredient quality and efficacy plus is issued a certificate of analysis. In the very high quality liquid form, you will absorb much more glucosamine (and other ingredients) than you would with products in pill or capsule form. As a result, most users are able to notice results in about 10-20 days instead of 6-10 weeks (or at all with capsules or low- grade liquid products.)

Q. Are there any side effects?
A. Syn-flex® (Synflex) is a very safe product. There are a few things you need to know. Consult your doctor before taking glucosamine if you are currently pregnant or nursing. If you are diabetic, be sure to check your blood glucose regularly, as glucosamine has been shown to increase blood
sugars. If you are allergic to shellfish, you should monitor your reaction and discontinue if any adverse affects occur. A small percentage of people who take glucosamine may encounter light diarrhea or stomach upset. This can be avoided by splitting dosage between morning and evening.
More information on side effects can be found here.

Q. Does Syn-flex® (Synflex) interact with any drugs or medications?
A. Syn-flex® (Synflex) is an all-natural product and should not interact with any drugs or medications.

Q. Is Syn-flex® (Synflex) sold in stores?
A. Syn-flex® (Synflex) is sold in a number of health food stores, health clubs, hair salons, chiropractors offices, veterinarian offices, and the like.

Q. Why is better, stronger, healthier cartilage important?
A. When your cartilage is damaged, either as a result of primary osteoarthritis or flowing from an injury (secondary osteoarthritis), you will suffer the consequences. Since cartilage protects the bones from coming into contact with one another, the opposite result is extremely painful. In a
great many cases, it can result in surgery. As your cartilage begins to lose its “fluid-like” capabilities, the process of osteoarthritis begins. Whether the result of aging, genetics, overuse or injury, some 70 million Americans suffer from this debilitating condition.Whether you suffer from this condition or are trying to prevent it, every step that you can take to avoid the consequences is well worth it.

Q. What exactly IS glucosamine?
A. Glucosamine, is a charged sugar molecule that is a key component of the extracellular matrix of cartilage (grout between the cartilage cells). It absorbs and releases water with each step, thereby acting as a shock absorber for the joints. With more glucosamine present, there is more joint protection. Glucosamine is a natural sugar produced by your body. It is the essential and principal ingredient that determines the quantity of proteoglycans (water-holding) molecules that also form in the body. The greater the amount of glucosamine in the body, the greater the amount of proteoglycans. The proteoglycans are large, water-binding molecules made up of (both) proteins and sugars. It is important to understand that they are a major building block of healthy, vital cartilage. Glucosamine also stimulates the production of glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) which are important proteins found in cartilage. They serve to "bind" the water within the cartilage matrix. Glucosamine supplements are made from the shells of shellfish. (more information on glucosamine)

Q. Is Syn-flex® (Synflex) approved by the FDA?
A. Glucosamine products are nutritional supplements and are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Q. Will I need to take this product daily for the rest of my life to keep my hip joint in repair or will I be able to reduce the dosage or even stop taking it at some point?
A. It is indeed advisable to maintain a daily dose of 1/4 oz. (1.5 teaspoons) per day. Those over 220 pounds or so may wish to maintain a higher dosage than this. For athletes, those using Syn-flex® (Synflex) as an arthritis easing measure, or those with mild arthritis, we recommend using 1/4 oz. for the first 8 weeks, and then dropping the dosage in half. Of course, if any pains return or cartilage continues to deteriorate, increase your dosage. We recommend that mostly everyone take a double dose (1/2 oz. per day) for the first 7-10 days.

Q. My friend is allergic to shellfish, but has been taking glucosamine for four years now without any problem. Can she take Syn-flex®?
A. Your friend can absolutely takeSyn-flex®. As long as glucosamine hasn't been a problem in the past, Syn-flex ® (Synflex) will be fine for her. (The antigen in shellfish that causes an allergic reaction has been removed from Syn-flex®. Nonetheless, we encourage you to consult with
your physician before using glucosamine.) In fact, new research has shown that glucosamine is very unlikely to cause an allergic reaction in someone allergic to shellfish. In most cases, allergies are caused by proteins in shellfish, not chitin, a carbohydrate from which glucosamine is
extracted. Furthermore, there is no crossover between the acid derived chitin from shells and the antigens that cause shellfish allergies since the acid process required to leach the chitin from the shell strips away the carbohydrate side chains that would be antigenic.

Q. I have never tried Syn-flex®. What does it taste like?
A. Syn-flex® (Synflex) has a tart green apple flavor. If you prefer, you can mix it with your favorite drink. Some prefer to take a sip of water after using it.

Q. Is it true that Syn-flex® (Synflex) will ease osteoarthritis pain in dogs, cats, and horses too?
A. Yes. Glucosamine was used to help with arthritis in horses many years before the beneficial effects for humans were known. Now with the high quality glucosamine, the liquid formula for maximum absorption, and the ten other beneficial ingredients, your dog or cat's arthritis or hip dysplasia can be alleviated with Syn-flex®. Information on yn-flex® (Synflex) for
use in pets can be found here.

Q. Do pets like the taste of Syn-flex®?
A. The large majority of dogs like the flavor and administration is very easy. In about 10% of cases, you may need to put the Syn-flex® (Synflex) on a treat, mix it in with their food, or administer orally.

Q. What's the difference betweenSyn-flex® (Synflex) and Syn-flex® (Synflex) for pets?
A. In fact, they are the exact same product. The only difference is the dosage amount. The reason why we have separate "products" on the order form is so we can keep track of our sales.

Q. I am an athlete. CanSyn-flex® (Synflex) benefit me?
A. Absolutely. (See our website and review the comments of some world-
class athletes who use it.)

Q. Who is Activex America and how did you come up with Syn-flex®?
Activex America was founded in 1999 by J.R. Rogers. In 1993, J.R. fell off a two story building and ended up with Spinal Stenosis and Secondary Arthritis in his neck. He tried pretty much everything he could find, but little helped and what did help often had very serious side effects. A friend of
his was using a prototype liquid glucosamine to treat his thoroughbred horses and was using something very close to the Syn-flex® (Synflex) formula to ease arthritis in his horses. J.R. tried some of the formula and within four days he noticed that his pain had been significantly reduced.
Within about 15 days, his inflammation had subsided and he had much greater mobility in his neck.
J.R. began passing out samples to his friends and they were astounded by the results they were getting. He knew that this product was one that belonged in the hands of everyone who suffered from OA. He founded Activex America. Beginning in July, 2001, Syn-flex® (Synflex) was first
made available to the general public worldwide. It has been an incredible success with a rapidly growing audience of direct purchasers and wholesale buyers. In fact, Activex America is the largest direct-to-consumer retailer of liquid glucosamine in the world.While there are many glucosamine products on the market today, most are in pill or capsule form which is not absorbed very effectively. Using the highest quality liquid glucosamine available, the absorption is much
better and users are able to experience relief in about 2-3 weeks instead of 6-10 weeks with most glucosamine products. In addition, the ten other beneficial ingredients help to further rehabilitate damaged cartilage, reduce inflammation and stiffness, ease pain, and increase mobility.

Q. I had knee surgery and lost half of my cartilage. How much of it can I rebuild and how?
A. Frankly it is difficult to quantify the rehabilitation of cartilage by percentages. The cartilage that has been damaged, may have simply lost its water-binding and water-holding capabilities. Glucosamine and chondritin found in Syn-flex® (Synflex) stimulate the production of
proteoglycans and glycosaminoglycans, restoring the cushioning properties of the cartilage and stopping bad enzymes from continuing to chew your cartilage away. It is safe to say that the rehabilitation would be quite dramatic. It does vary person to person and depends on the severity and progression of your arthritis.

Q. My doctor specifically recommended taking Syn-flex®. Are there many doctors who recommend Syn-flex®?
A. Many doctors are now recommending glucosamine, and many are indeed specifically recommending Syn-flex®. Generally, they either use Syn-flex (Synflex) themselves or have heard great things about Syn-flex® (Synflex) from their patients. You can read a number of their
testimonials in our success stories.

Q. I see that Syn-flex® (Synflex) contains both Glucosamine Sulfate and Glucosamine HCL. Why is Glucosamine HCL added to your product?
A. A medical study released in January of 2001 confirmed that glucosamine sulfate is clinically proven to assist those who suffer from arthritis. However, that is only part of the picture. Another medical study conducted several years ago compared the two ingredients. That study found the HCL form of glucosamine created even more cartilage components and may have a higher bio-availability. We have combined both ingredients to ensure you benefit from both. In fact, Syn-flex® (Synflex) contains 1250mg of glucosamine per daily 1/4oz. dose. (More
about the ingredients)  

Q. I have purchased Syn-flex®. What do you recommend for dosage?
A. We have set up a page to explain this. You may read this here. 

Q. I know a lot of people who use it and they all swear by it. What makes Syn-flex® (Synflex) so effective?
A. Certainly the ingredients themselves play a major role here. As well, it should be clear that a liquid formula is going to provide the greatest possible absorption into your system. More information on how Syn-flex® (Synflex) works can be found in "How Syn-flex® (Synflex) Works."

Q. What if there is NO cartilage left in a joint.... what can Syn-flex® (Synflex) do....??
A. When there is no cartilage left, Syn-flex® (Synflex) will help regenerate as much cartilage as is possible. However, when a bone on bone situation has occurred it is very challenging. Syn-flex® (Synflex) will be your best shot at saving any cartilage that may be remaining and easing
your pain. Additionally, if cartilage in one joint has disappeared, you should be taking liquid glucosamine to protect other joints throughout your body. If you are currently using NSAIDs or COX-2 inhibitors, I would suggest not taking these as you are putting yourself at risk for many severe side effects. Furthermore, there is recent research suggesting taking these will actually hasten the deterioration of your cartilage. 

Q. I have noticed that pills and capsules usually contain both glucosamine and chondroitin. Does Syn-flex® (Synflex) have chondroitin in it?
A. Yes. The shark cartilage is comprised of approximately 20% chondroitin sulfate.

Q. Why do you use shark cartilage to derive the chondroitin sulfate in Syn-flex®?
A. The two most common compounds that are used for chondroitin are bovine (Cow) trachea and shark cartilage. We chose to use shark cartilage over bovine due to the risk of BSE (Mad Cow Disease).

Q. I know that most joint products contain glucosamine. What are some of these other ingredients all about?
A. All of the ingredients contained in Syn-flex® (Synflex) are there because they assist in building healthy joints. Without going into a lot of detail about them, boswellin, yucca, and omega 3 & 6 fatty acids each contribute to joint health and fight inflammation. Manganese and ascorbic
acid are added to aid your body's ability to produce and absorb glucosamine. (More about the ingredients) 

Q. Are there any special instructions other than what is on the label? Also, why are there slight changes in the color of the product?
A. You should not refrigerate Syn-flex®. It has a shelf life of two years so you can certainly store it at a room temperature for that long. A slight change in color happens sometimes. It is simply something that happens naturally as a result of exposure to light.

Q. I live outside the U.S., how can I purchaseSyn-flex ®?
A. We ship Internationally. We charge $6.00 for international shipping for the first bottle and $3 each additional bottle. You can order an 8-ounce, 32-day of Syn-flex® (Synflex) for just $35.95. To see this amount in your local currency, we would suggest using this currency convertor. For orders
