The Health Aid Osteoflex Plus is a dietary supplement with a formulation of green lipped mussel (Green Lipped Mussel) extract, glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, collagen type II, turmeric extract, vitamin C and manganese. The package contains 60 tablets.
It is aimed at adults who want to cover their intake of these components through a dietary supplement.
Manganese contributes to the normal maintenance of connective tissue and bones, as well as the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to the normal collagen synthesis, for the normal function of bones and cartilage, as well as the protection of cells from oxidative stress. These are the two components of the formulation with an approved health claim.
Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM are natural components associated with cartilage and connective tissue. Green lipped mussel extract, collagen type II and turmeric extract are also components that are the subject of research in relation to the joint. None of these currently have an approved health claim from the EFSA, so they are presented here as components of the formulation, without a specific claim of effect such as relief of pain or inflammation.
It suits adults who want to cover their intake of these components as part of a balanced diet. The product is not intended for the prevention, treatment or cure of arthritis or any other joint condition, and does not replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Anyone experiencing pain or a diagnosed joint condition should consult a doctor.
Composition per tablet: green lipped mussel extract (Green Lipped Mussel) 350mg, glucosamine sulfate 250mg (of which free glucosamine 195mg), MSM 150mg, chondroitin sulfate 200mg, vitamin C 60mg, collagen type II 100mg, turmeric extract 100mg, manganese 2mg.
There are formulations on the market with a different combination of components associated with cartilage and joints, in different quantities. When choosing, it is worth knowing that most of these components currently do not have an approved health claim in the EU, so the choice is often based on other criteria, always in consultation with your doctor.
