Everyone’s heard the saying, “Oh, my aching joints!” Today, I want to spotlight one of our really amazing formulations that is very much geared towards the health of your joints. We know that arthritis is a major problem. There are so many millions of people who are affected by arthritic joints and they’re always seeking new ways or remedies to try to support that in a much more feasible way, without always having to turn towards NSAIDs. Today, I want to talk about one of those formulations that is concentrated towards all of the aspects of our joints.†
Flex HxⓇ is an amazing formulation that our scientific director, Jerry Hickey, designed and developed. It contains hydrolyzed collagen. People often ask if they also need to be taking this if they’re taking another collagen supplement such as our Collagex HA and I always say the more the merrier. Take a scoop of the Flex HxⓇ along with the Collagex HA is a really good idea because we’re getting an amazing blend of these really synergistic nutrients to really optimize the health of our joints. We want to be able to flex our muscles, but we also want to make sure that our joints have good flexibility. We don’t want them to be stiff. We want them to be able to have nice, gliding movements. We can achieve this in our joints by restoring collagen with hydrolyzed collagen peptides.†

Then, we combine that with bromelain. Bromelain is a really amazing nutrient that comes from the stem of pineapple. This is a powerful proteolytic enzyme that works as a digestive enzyme, as well as for targeting inflammation. The Flex HxⓇ formulation also contains chondroitin. When we are using the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin, we are doing a lot of rebalancing of the joint space. We also have manganese in this formula. Manganese is a very important mineral that is involved in the synthesis and activation of many different enzymes that regulate a lot of different functions in the body.†
Manganese plays a really substantial role in the joint space. They have done studies where they’ve given manganese to people who have osteoarthritis of the knee. By doing this, the researchers found that this helped to slow the destructive process of that arthritic joint. So how is manganese able to achieve this? When we understand the different places within where manganese is working, one of the places happens to be in the structure of ligaments and tendons. Manganese, copper and iron play a really key role in the health of our joints.†

Many other studies have looked at glucosamine and chondroitin. One large study looked at the efficacy of supplementation of the combination of glucosamine and chondroitin in people with arthritis. The researchers found that when they gave patients glucosamine and chondroitin, it does a really fine job of reestablishing the function within the joint and alleviating a lot of the symptoms that people have when it comes to arthritis.†
In this episode, Amanda Williams, MPH discusses Flex HxⓇ, a powerful powder formulation that is packed with nutrients that can support the health of the joints. She details the important role of the mineral manganese within the body and also references studies explaining how important many of these ingredients are for joint health.†

If you suffer from Sinusitis, taking the supplement Bromelain and rinsing your sinuses once or twice a day can really help. About 35 million Americans develop Sinusitis each year. This is inflammation and swelling of the tissue lining the sinuses in your nasal cavity. It can be caused by infections but also nasal problems like a polyps, blockages or allergies.
What are your sinuses?
Your sinuses help lighten the weight of your head, since they are air-filled cavities. Your sinus cavities are made up of four pairs of sinuses that help warm up the air your breathe in, they moisturize the air you breathe in and they are a chamber that helps resonate your voice.
Importantly, your sinuses also produce mucus. This is essential, as it acts as a protective layer and maintains the moisture in your nose to keep critical organs from drying out. But mucus also acts as a trap for dust, bacteria or smoke that can irritate your nose, throat and your lungs. The mucus contains antibodies and bacteria-killing enzymes that help fight off infections.

What are some symptoms of Sinusitis?
Natural Remedies for Sinusitis
For my clients with reoccurring Sinusitis, I always recommend a nasal saline solution. This is a great first start. Your blood contains a certain level of salt – sodium chloride. Normal saline matches the amoun
t of salt in your blood, which is why it is a good first step that does not sting.
Bromelain is something else I frequently recommend. It’s a known supplement for relieving Sinusitis symptoms. Bromelain is a natural proteolytic enzyme, or “protease”, sourced from the stems of pineapple. In cooking, it is used as a meat tenderizer. In the body, proteolytic enzymes stimulate the body’s digestive processes and support comfortable digestion of proteins (meat, eggs, and dairy protein) by breaking these proteins into smaller components.
Sometimes I add Quercetin along with the nasal rinsing. In my experience, this has been fantastic for Sinusitis. Bromelain reduces the swelling and inflammation in the sinuses and Quercetin helps with inflammation, especially if there is an allergy component. Rinsing clears out any debris and microbes.
