Pharmacology
Radiflex Plus combines four active ingredients that work synergistically to support joint health:
- Undenatured Collagen II: Prevents the breakdown of joint cartilage by releasing collagen-specific T-regulatory cells and slowing the production of inflammatory cytokines.
- Glucosamine Sulfate: A building block of joint cartilage that also reduces the synthesis of inflammatory mediators responsible for cartilage breakdown.
- Chondroitin Sulfate: A structural component of cartilage that helps maintain water and nutrients, promoting elasticity and protecting the cartilage from premature decline.
- Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM): Reduces the expression of inflammatory enzymes (cyclooxygenase-2 and nitric oxide), providing analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects that help reduce pain and swelling in osteoarthritis.
Dosage & Administration
The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, taken orally after a meal, or as directed by a physician.
