This stuff is fantastic - I have no relationship to this company, it was a link I clicked at another web site.

Flexicose is a high-quality liquid glucosamine joint complex that works to rebuild your cartilage and reduce your joint pain. Athletes are particularly sensitive to joint trauma or injury due to their increased activity and pounding on their joints. Flexicose is especially beneficial for joint health for any athlete that strives for the best performance possible.
Because athletes push themselves harder and faster than average people, their bodies (specifically their joints) tend to wear out or become injured more often than the average person. Fortunately, this is not something that people have to simply accept anymore. Liquid glucosamine, the main ingredient in Flexicose, provides higher levels of glucosamine directly to the joints. Liquid glucosamine serves as a building block for proteoglycans (pronounced pro-toe-gly-cans), the main component of cartilage.
Proteoglycans are essentially a really thick interwoven group of threads that weaves throughout the collagen and cartilage and is absolutely essential for joint health because they hold many times their weight of water, which both serves to lubricate and nourish the collagen. Not having water in your joints is like trying to run your car without oil - it will destroy your engine. The proteoglycans that glucosamine creates bring and hold that water there right in the joints where it does the most good.
Injuries and Damaged Cartilage
If cartilage is damaged, as commonly occurs in athletes, the thread of proteoglycans becomes weak and breaks or simply "leaks" out and thus the collagen in the joint loses its nourishment and support system as the proteoglycans (that depend largely on glucosamine) lose their ability to bind to the cartilage. This means they float away and are of little help. The result of all of this is much like a bald tire on a car in that the cartilage wears out and cannot withstand further shocks and impacts. Pain develops. Inflammation starts. The cartilage may crack or eventually may even wear out completely. Without its proteoglycan support system to keep it together and replenish it, your cartilage quickly wears out. When it wears out, you have bone spurs, broken bits of cartilage floating in synovial fluid, bone on bone grinding, inflammation and pain. Fortunately you now have options.
For existing pain, Flexicose users usually will report noticing a significant difference within seven to fourteen days. For more advanced cases, significant improvement is generally seen in about fifteen to twenty five days. Give Flexicose some time to work, just like a scrape or cut, your body cannot heal overnight but you will notice steady improvement after a week or two. Fortunately, with Flexicose's unique blend of 14 premium synergistic ingredients, you do not have to wait four to six WEEKS, like with many low bioavailability pills or tablets. Flexicose also works great as a preventitive measure.
