FlexLip^®

Naticol^® collagen is a top-quality French fish collagen. What sets Naticol^® collagen apart is that its amino acid profile is similar to the human amino acid profile, which is why this type of collagen is well absorbed and well tolerated by the human body, so that the cells can make full use of it.

Glucosamine is a natural building material of cartilage and synovial fluid, without which our joints could not function properly. Its natural sources are mainly seafood such as shrimps, as well as crayfish and crabs. Glucosamine can also be of plant origin – from corn. In FlexLip^®, the source of glucosamine is non-GMO corn, making FlexLip^® a safe choice for people with seafood allergies. Support your joints by reaping the benefits of the plant-based power of corn.

Zinc helps to maintain healthy hair, nails, skin and also bones. It helps to protect cells from oxidative stress, i.e. it protects our cells from free radicals. Zinc helps in the normal functioning of the immune system, as well as in maintaining normal vision and normal vitamin A metabolism. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal macronutrient and fatty acid metabolism. The dietary supplement FlexLip^® uses zinc of organic origin (in the form of gluconate), which is distinguished by the best absorption by our organism among many zinc salts.

Chondroitin is a naturally occurring substance found in animals and is one of the most important components of joint cartilage. Chondroitin’s role in the body is to help protect joints from abrasion and provide flexibility. It is most commonly extracted from beef, pork, fish (e.g. shark cartilage) or poultry cartilage. Commercially available chondroitin preparations vary in molecular weight and bioavailability. According to recent scientific studies, chondroitin of poultry origin is best utilized by our body. FlexLip^® contains chondroitin of poultry origin.

Manganese is a trace element that acts as a cofactor for many biochemical reactions in our body, including, among others, the biosynthesis reactions of cholesterol and sex hormones, glycoproteins and peptidoglycans, which the body cannot synthesize on its own. Manganese contributes to the maintenance of healthy bones and helps in the normal formation of connective tissues. It is essential for the absorption of nutrients, including vitamins B1, E and C, and iron. Manganese deficiencies cause, among other things, skeletal dysfunction and joint pain.

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polysaccharide that consists of long sugar chains (disaccharides) that can bind large amounts of water to form a viscous, gel-like solution. Hyaluronic acid is a key component of connective tissues, especially skin, joints and synovium. It is known for its exceptional hydrating and water-binding properties. Every day, approximately 30% of the hyaluronic acid present naturally in the body breaks down and is replaced by new acid molecules. Unfortunately, as we age, its amount gradually decreases, resulting in the degeneration of the tissues in which it is found.

Vitamin D is a group of fat-soluble prohormones that are crucial for many biological functions in the body. The best-known forms of vitamin D are vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) and vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Vitamin D3 is produced in the skin as a result of exposure to UVB radiation from the sun, while vitamin D2 is mainly derived from plants and fungi. Vitamin D helps the normal functioning of the immune system, helps maintain healthy bones, teeth, helps the normal absorption/utilisation of calcium and phosphorus, helps the normal functioning of muscles, helps maintain normal blood calcium levels. Vitamin D is very important for our wellbeing, so it is worth ensuring an adequate supply through a balanced diet, sun exposure and, if necessary, supplementation.

Phospholipids, with phosphatidylcholine at the forefront, are an extremely important element for our body. In our product, the phospholipids are derived from sunflower lecithin. Phospholipids play a key role in numerous metabolic processes and, above all, they build all of our body’s biological membranes, regulate enzyme activity and control permeability and transport at the level of cell membranes. Phosphatidylcholine is also essential for our brain, increasing plasma and brain choline levels and accelerating the production of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter.

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin, gums, cartilage, bones and blood vessels. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and is also a powerful antioxidant, i.e. a free radical scavenger – it contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function, and relieves tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin C is essential for normal iron absorption.
