Having stiff and sore joints is unfortunately more common than you think. Regardless of age, joint pain is often a major problem in everyday life, and the underlying cause of the problems can be both genetic or age-related. Active people and athletes who daily engage in physical stress, such as strength training, ball sports, etc., run a greater risk of developing sore and troublesome joints – which in turn negatively affects training and general mobility. Older people often suffer from so-called osteoarthritis in the knees and other joints, which is a condition where the joint cartilage breaks down and causes pain and stiffness.

Swedish Supplements has carefully researched which substances and plant extracts, together in synergy, should be able to relieve problems with sore joints, wear and tear and osteoarthritis. The result is Flex Support Forte, which is an advanced well-thought-out formula with several bioactive ingredients, specifically selected for its contributing effect to, among other things, protecting and maintaining the strength and flexibility of the joints. Flex Support Forte from Swedish Supplements is a dietary supplement containing 14 active ingredients.
Swedish Supplements Flex Support contains, among other things, methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a form of organic sulphur, which is an important component of collagen protein and which is important for the normal function of both cartilage and bone. In order to contribute to the body’s normal turnover of sulfur-containing amino acids, such as MSM, Flex Support has therefore been enriched with the mineral molybdenum – which has this very property. To protect, strengthen and maintain the flexibility of the joints, Swedish Supplements Flex Support uses two carefully selected plant extracts: rosehip powder and Indian incense. Rosehip helps maintain healthy and mobile joints. Rosehip extract is also known to be anti-inflammatory, reducing swelling and pain.) Studies of Indian frankincense (Boswelia extract) have shown that it prevented the breakdown of connective tissue that is part of the course of gout and rheumatism. The extract also reduced the formation of inflamed tissue.
