About Freeflex Forte 15 Softlets

Freeflex Forte 15 Softlets belongs to a class of medications called 'proteoglycan synthesis stimulator', primarily taken to reduce the pain of osteoarthritis (OA) in specific large and small joints. Osteoarthritis is a chronic (lifelong) joint condition in which Glucosamine sulfate and Chondroitin (natural chemicals found in healthy cartilage) get reduced. The body uses this fluid to produce other chemicals required to make ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. When this chemical gets reduced, the cartilage breaks down and becomes thin, which causes friction between the bones leading to wear and tear (damage) of the joint tissues leading to pain, stiffness, inflammation, and reduced locomotion. 

The Freeflex Forte 15 Softlets comprises two medicines, namely Glucosamine and Chondroitin sulfate. Glucosamine sulfate is a natural protein found in the body used by the body to produce various chemicals responsible for building ligaments, cartilage, tendons, and the thick fluid surrounding joints. Taking Freeflex Forte 15 Softlets may either enhance the cartilage and fluid surrounding joints or prevent both components' breakdown. At the same time, Chondroitin restricts the action of a protein responsible for causing inflammation and destruction of cartilage or osteoarthritis. It also provides elasticity by helping cartilage to retain water. Both, in combination, assist in the formation of cartilage (the soft tissue that cushions the joints) and make the joints lubricated for better movement and flexibility. Freeflex Forte 15 Softlets relieves pain, thereby improving joint function and helping individuals restore their quality of life. It also increases the cushioning and lubrication of joints that, provide relief in pain and easily do physical activity.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Maintain a healthy body weight because obesity can lead to joint pain. Please avoid strenuous exercise as it may aggravate your arthritis-related joint pain. Instead, you can stretch and engage in low-impact aerobic activities such as treadmill walking, biking, and swimming. Lifting light weights can also help to improve your muscle strength.

  • Increase your intake of glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate, vitamin D, and calcium-rich supplements. Aside from that, turmeric and fish oils can help to reduce tissue inflammation.

  • Include fish such as salmon, trout, tuna, and sardines in your diet if you have arthritis or joint pain. These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids, which aid in the reduction of inflammation (redness and swelling) and protect the heart.

  • Your sitting posture is critical, especially if you suffer from pain or inflammation. Try to sit as little as possible and only for a short period of time (10-15 min). Place a rolled-up towel at the back of your curve to alleviate pain. In addition, if necessary, a footrest can be used.

  • Follow heat or cold therapy by applying a cold or hot compress to the joints on a regular basis for 15-20 minutes.

  • Relax by meditating, reading, taking a nice bubble bath, or listening to calming music.

  • Avoid drinking alcohol and quit smoking.
