Disc-Flex - Disc-Flex is a powerful, wide reaching complex taking aim at the role of proteoglycans, age-related advanced glycation end product activity, tissue calcium metabolism, immune response and the natural inflammatory processes on spinal disc health.

What Is It?

Disc-Flex supports healthy composition, strength, comfort and flexibility of intervertebral cartilage. The formula is designed to specifically target proteoglycans, age-related advanced glycation endproduct activity, tissue calcium metabolism, immune response and the natural inflammatory processes to promote spinal disc health.*

Uses For Disc-Flex

Intervertebral Cartilage: This formula addresses the unique nutritional needs of intervertebral cartilage (IVC). IVC is avascular, wears differently, and is affected by different nutritional factors compared to articular cartilage. The basics of healthy disc composition involve glucosamine, chondroitin and collagen. Studies indicate that glucosamine and chondroitin support spinal disc integrity and have the potential to support the strength of the disc under compressive loads. In postmenopausal women, the healthy composition of the lumbar spine is directly related to collagen content. The advanced nature of this product involves its ability to maintain healthy advanced glycation end product activity, healthy immune mediator activity, a healthy inflammatory response and healthy calcium metabolism.

Advanced glycation end products reduce the ability of the intervertebral disc to produce proteoglycans, which comprise healthy disc matrix. The age-related increase in advanced glycation end products also contributes to stiffening of the spine. l-Carnosine, grape seed extract and alpha lipoic acid help to maintain healthy advanced glycation end product metabolism and provide antioxidant protection. Cartilage end plate calcification also affects disc function and longevity. Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 also maintains a healthy balance of calcium uptake into extra-skeletal tissues. Devil's claw supports day-to-day spinal comfort and flexibility as demonstrated by German studies. Vitamin D is a synergist with vitamin K2 to help maintain healthy cartilage end plate calcium metabolism.*
