Australia’s Center for Complementary Medicine confirmed that a pill using shea compounds reduces inflammation and cartilage degradation by up to 30% - and it’s taking the market by storm. A natural cure for joint pain has proven elusive until the makers of FlexNow developed their pill (www.powerofshea.com). The shea compounds apparently block the biological response that causes inflammation to begin with. “Over 60 days, we pitted FlexNow against an arthritic shoulder and knee. For the first time in years – without large doses of ibuprofen – the pain was greatly reduced. Even to the point that going for a run was enjoyable,” reported Men’s Health magazine in its August 2010 issue.
