Clinically Researched Ingredients Help Reduce Joint Discomfort Starting in as Little as 7 Days
AprèsFlex
In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study, 59 subjects with stiff, achy joints took 100 mg of AprèsFlex or a placebo daily for 30 days. Three tests were used to measure discomfort, stiffness and physical function—and in all 3, AprèsFlex came out on top.
1
- In a measure of pain intensity, AprèsFlex showed a 14.8% better reduction than the placebo starting in just 7 days.
- In a measure of daily functions hindered by discomfort, AprèsFlex showed a 16.3% better reduction starting in just 7 days.
- And after 30 days, those taking AprèsFlex reported a 40.1% improvement in joint comfort…a 41.3% improvement in stiffness…and a 38.8% improvement in functional ability.
UC-II
UC-II is a clinically tested, patented form of undenatured type II collagen that helps support joint health. Unlike most of the commercially available collagen supplements which are denatured or hydrolysed, UC-II is manufactured through a patented, low-temperature, non-enzymatic manufacturing process that preserves the natural levels of undenatured type II collagen as well as its biological activity. UC-II works in the small intestine through a process called oral tolerization to aid in the health of type II collagen in the joints.
The Science Behind UC-II
UC-II can help alleviate joint discomfort as well as improve flexibility and mobility in physically active, healthy individuals. In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study, healthy subjects experiencing joint discomfort upon strenuous exercise took either 40 mg of UC-II or placebo while continuing their normal diet and exercise regimens. Subjects were tested at 30-day intervals from baseline to 120 days And the results were impressive:
2
- Significant improvement in knee extension at 90 (compared to baseline) and 120 days (compared to baseline and placebo).
- The minimum time to onset of joint discomfort (while exercising) was significantly better than baseline at day 90 and day 120. No significant changes in placebo.
- Maximum time to offset joint discomfort (after exercising) was significantly faster at day 60, 90, and 120 compared to baseline.
