Intervertebral cartilage (IVC) is a form of connective tissue that consists of a series of discs located between the vertebrae in your spine. It’s different from other types of cartilage; therefore‚ Disc-Flex by Pure Encapsulations is formulated to supply targeted support for intervertebral cartilage.
Disc-Flex contains ingredients that may work to maintain healthy disc composition. For example‚ this supplement provides shellfish-derived glucosamine HCl and a hydrolyzed collagen complex; collagen may assist older women in maintaining a healthy lumbar spine‚ whereas glucosamine may work to help your spinal discs handle compressive loads.
In addition‚ every capsule of Disc-Flex offers several compounds with antioxidant properties. Alpha lipoic acid‚ grape seed extract‚ and L-carnosine may potentially work to alleviate symptoms of mild stiffness while encouraging the production of proteoglycans (the building blocks of cartilage) through their attempts to moderate the activity of advanced glycation end products.
Vitamins D3 and K2 could assist in supporting cartilage end plate calcium metabolism. Finally‚ boswellia and devil’s claw are herbs that may help address musculoskeletal discomfort and a lack of spinal flexibility.
Each 60-capsule bottle of Pure Encapsulations’ Disc-Flex should last for up to one month.
