As a full-time anesthesiologist in a very busy practice, I have a chance to meet surgical patients from multiple different surgical subspecialties. I have a chance to interview them and get to know their medical history in very specific detail. As I do so, I am constantly amazed at the number of people that suffer from temporary or minor joint pain due to regular exercise and activity. It can be a real problem for many people who are not able to enjoy life to the fullest as a result of joint aches and pains.
About 4 years ago, I began experiencing some annoying knee pain when I would exercise vigorously. At the young age of 38 at the time, I remember feeling somewhat discouraged that I was already beginning to get "creaky" and "old." It was at that time that I started becoming aware of the vast number of people who were taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin as a means of maintaining their joint mobility and function. Did you know that as we age, our bodies decrease the natural production of Glucosamine? This compound is a primary component of Chondriotin which is a major building block of cartilage and is responsible for keeping our cartilage soft and flexible. So, I decided to see what Glucosamine and Chondriotin could do for me, and I began taking 3 very large pills in the morning and evening every day. It wasn't but a few weeks later that I really noticed a significant decrease in my minor knee pain and increased mobility during regular exercise. I was so pleased, and I became convinced that I needed to be taking those supplements regularly. However, as my knee joint health continued, my motivation to swallow those large "horse pills" began to diminish and I fell out of compliance with my intended Glucosamine and Chondroitin daily regimen.
I remember very well the day Glen Jensen, our founder and CEO approached me about joining his new company as a part of the Medical Advisory Board. As soon as he explained to me his revolutionary concept of Gel Suspension Technology, the first thing I thought of was how fantastic it would be if I could take Glucosamine and Chondroitin in a gel pack. "If only..." I thought.
Well, now here we are just two years later and we have a product that completely exceeds my original expectations of a Glucosamine/Chondroitin supplement. Agel has created FLX, a revolutionary formulation combining not just Glucosamine and Chondroitin, but MSM and Celadrin as well. This synergistic formulation is a combination that nobody else has, and what's more, it is in a gel preparation for convenient, good tasting, easy consumption. Needless to say, I am passionate about Agel FLX. I take it every day, and it is a product that works. It is not just for the elderly, but it is for every adult, age 16 and up.
I am Dr. Todd Nilson, and I AM Agel.
Here is a quick summary of the important aspects of each of the 4 ingredients:
Chondroitin — Major building block in cartilage, helps keep cartilage soft and flexible
Glucosamine — Major building block in cartilage, helps stimulate more production of Chondroitin MSM — provides the essential sulfur that is necessary to build strong collagen which is also a major component of joint cartilage.
Celadrin — a blend of fatty acids that have the effect of increased joint lubrication
