Janice CarsonCan the non-prescription brand NuraFlex really provide fast relief for joint pain and stiffness?
Whether joint pain is caused by arthritis, osteoarthritis, bursitis or rheumatism, the symptoms are all distressing and painful. Inflammation in the joints leads to stiffness, lack of motion, aching and pain, all of which the product NuraFlex claims to relieve.
Marketed as an alternative to prescription joint pain medications which can often cause unpleasant side effects, NuraFlex consists of all natural ingredients designed to work synergistically for fast joint pain relief. Unfortunately the official website for the product is not overly professional in appearance and consists mainly of one very long page of information, much of it written in the style of a personal letter from the founder of the NuraFlex formula, Irene Santiago. Anyone willing to read the whole page will learn that there are indeed many negative effects of taking prescription drugs while no such side effects have been reported with the NuraFlex brand, apart from mild stomach ache for the first few days of taking.
The product is also sold via this site and is offered at a number of different price points, with discounts given on larger orders (for example, the purchase of 10 bottles is subject to a 40% discount). One bottle of NuraFlex costs $37.00 and all orders are sent with several free informational booklets. The ordering process is secure and the company offers a 60-day money back guarantee, although only unused products will receive a refund.
NuraFlex – Facts
Only the key active ingredients are listed for NuraFlex, and because the individual amounts are not disclosed, it is not known how potent the formula is overall. The most commonly used major joint pain relieving ingredients are included in the product, such as Hyaluronic Acid – an important element in thick, protective synovial fluid that surrounds each joint, Chondroitin – which helps block cartilage damaging enzymes, Glucosamine – an amino sugar that is vital in the rebuilding of strong cartilage, Bromelain – a healing enzyme found in pineapple that reduces inflammation, and Boswellia Serrata – to further promote the growth of healthy joints.
Also included in the formula is Nanomeds Collagen, a substance that enables fast absorption of all the beneficial ingredients to provide quick, effective relief which in the case of NuraFlex is promised in as little as 7 days. No dosage instructions are given for NuraFlex, but it can be taken alongside joint pain prescription medications if required, and should be used for a minimum of 3 months for optimal results.

Conclusion
We were able to find very little data on the manufacturers of this product in our course of research. Watch out for the hefty returns processing fees attached to their “Guarantee” on the product.
Despite the outrageous and unsubstantiated claims made in the sales push of the product, there is really nothing about Nutraflex that makes it stand out from other brands on the market.
