Two words that I never envisioned uttering in my younger years? Joint discomfort. After years of rigorous running, intense workouts, and the pursuit of a healthy, attractive physique (cue the high heels), my joints are now bearing the consequences of low priority. 😫
Getting older is no joke, and now that I’m only a few years away from turning 50, I’m prioritizing taking better care of my body moving forward—especially my joints.
With that in mind, I embarked on a quest to find the best supplements to help alleviate my activity-related discomfort and promote long-term mobility. Two products really stood out to me, Flexuron® Joint Formula by Purity Products and THORNE Glucosamine & Chondroitin, but only one became a mainstay in my routine.
Here’s how they compare:
For a supplement that works quickly… Flexuron® Joint Formula
Both of these products advertise fast results, but only Flexuron® truly delivered for me.
I incorporated both Flexuron® and THORNE Glucosamine & Chondroitin into my daily routine at different times and tracked my body’s response to each. With Flexuron® Joint Formula, I felt the difference in about a week: my usual early morning stiffness was much less noticeable.
I noticed a slight difference with THORNE, as well, but it took a lot longer to kick in, and didn’t seem to be quite as impactful.
For easy access packaging… THORNE Glucosamine & Chondroitin
THORNE Glucosamine & Chondroitin comes in an easy access bottle vs. Flexuron® Joint Formula’s blister pack. If you have trouble opening pill bottles or punching tablets out of a pack, this might make a big difference for you.
While Flexuron® might require a little more effort to access the softgels, I didn’t find it to be overly complicated.
For maximizing comfort, mobility, and flexibility… Flexuron® Joint Formula
Priced at just $29.95 for a 30 day supply ($27.95 with subscribe & save), Flexuron® works to promote the health of your joints with three powerful ingredients:
- Phospholipid-Rich Krill Oil: The phospholipids in Krill Oil help omega-3’s integrate into the cell membranes more effectively. Omega-3 delivers a wide range of important health benefits, and are especially useful in supporting joint health.
- Astaxanthin: Astaxanthin is a versatile and effective antioxidant- 6000X more powerful than vitamin C by one measure. The molecular structure of Astaxanthin gives it an exceptional ability to help mitigate oxidative stress in cells and tissues. It also supports muscle endurance and circulation which play key roles in joint health.
- Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid: Flexuron® contains Low Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid (sodium hyaluronate), a biological component of your body’s connective tissue. In simple terms, this is a shock absorber, making it essential for joint health.
Better and FASTER than Glucosamine and Chondroitin
THORNE is made up of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, two ingredients that work to maintain cartilage structure and function. But in a head-to-head test against Glucosmine and Chondroitin, Flexuron® was shown to work better and faster. In fact, up to 3x better!
For the simplest daily routine… Flexuron® Joint Formula
I’m the type of person who likes to keep things simple, and if I’m adding something new into my routine, I gravitate toward products that don’t require a heavy mental lift from me. The recommended serving for Flexuron® is just one softgel per day vs. three capsules of THORNE Glucosamine & Chondroitin.
Incorporating Flexuron® into my day-to-day was pretty seamless, and I didn’t have to worry about setting three different alarms throughout the day. ⏰
My verdict…
I’m always on the lookout for products that increase my quality of life, and Flexuron® really fits the bill for my joints. It’s a well-rounded supplement that not only helps to relieve my discomfort, but supports my overall joint health with just one softgel a day.
