The most common questions we came across when writing our physio flex pro review
Selenium (200mcg) is the one of the ingredients in physio flex pro that we don't tend to see in other joint pain supplements. Selenium has been shown to promote healthy joints and bones by blocking enzymes that break down cartilage and has been shown to help people with arthritis [1]. It also has other anti oxidant properties, and is generally a good inclusion if someone is deficient, that said, most people do get enough of it and 400mcg is too much, so you'll need to make sure you're not getting selenium from other sources.
Turmeric (200mg) has been shown to be an effective anti-inflammatory, it's been shown to be effective at improving joint pain and joint stiffness [2]. The dosage of the extract is within the ranges that we'd expect to see for the supplement to be effective, and most meta analysis we've reviewed do show it to be one of the more effective joint pain supplements.
Glucosamine HCI (500mg) is a good ingredient, it's on the low side of effective dosages, but this isn't actually a bad thing in this case. As higher dosages can cause nasty side effects in a lot of people. For example this is the common issue of Osteo Bi Flex, which has a much higher dose of Glucosamine HCL and a lot of customer reviews claiming that issue.
Bromelain (300mg) has been studied for a lot of things, but the only thing that it seems to perform on in is that it alleviates joint pain. And of course, that makes it a good ingredient for Physio Flex Pro. Bromelain is one of the better over the counter anti inflammatory ingredients available. It doesn't always need to be dosed this highly, but it's within the effective dosage for all body sizes. Good inclusion for Physio Flex Pro.
Ginger Extract (250mg) is a good inclusion and the particular extract used in Physio flex pro is more dense in the active ingredients, but still not within the ideal dose range. This isn't really an issue that's Physio Flex Pro get terribly wrong, the problem is that for ginger extract to be most effective it requires dosages of more than 2 grams. You could top up with a relatively reasonable amount of ginger and get the best from it.
Chondroitin (100mg) This supplement comes along with glucosamine in a lot of supplements, it is typically shown to be more effective at enhancing cogitative function, than joints although a lot of ingredients tend to overlap, omega 3 for example, and there is also joint benefits.
Methylsulfonylmethane (100mg): The dosage would be a little bit higher for it to be higher for it to be in the effective range for treating osteoarthritis, but it could be useful for minor joint aches.
All in all there's a lot of good ingredients here, and if you add in a $10 store brand omega oil supplement (there really isn't much difference between any omega supplement, don't believe the marketing hype) you've got a pretty good joint health supplement set up. We typically recommend that people do this as a much better value proposition than the likes of Relief Factor.
