"I was told about your product by a friend, first for my dog, then for me. I am a great fan of your product as I suffer from severe degenerative osteoarthritis. I have also put my mother on it, she lives in France. You should try advertising there too, good luck" Josy
This information is provided for your information, but please remember there is no Glucosamine, no Chondroitin and no MSM in Cortaflex.
If you go into health food shops and chemists,
you will find lots of products containing Chondroitin
Sulphate and Glucosamine Sulphate.
So what makes it so special? What makes it different is that it has been produced
with smaller molecules, so that they are more
likely to be absorbed into the areas where it
is needed. It is a unique formulation of the smaller
key isolates of Chondroitin and Glucosamine
to make it easier for the smaller molecules to
be able to pass through the tiny cell walls and
into the joints.
Side effects of Glucosamine
This is what the current research and evidence tells us so
far about any side effects with glucosamine:
"The most common side effects are increased intestinal
gas and softened stools. However, animal research has raised
the possibility that glucosamine may worsen insulin resistance,
a major cause of diabetes. So far, studies in humans have
not substantiated that risk. Nevertheless, people with diabetes
should monitor their blood-sugar level particularly carefully
when using that supplement. There have been no reports of
allergic reactions to glucosamine. But since it's made from
shellfish shells, people who are allergic to seafood should
use it cautiously, watching for reactions, or avoid it entirely"
Interactions between glucosamine and other medications are
unknown.
Drug interactions
Glucosamine may interact with certain diuretics, necessitating
higher doses of the diuretic.
No significant side effects have been reported, although
long-term studies on glucosamine's safety remain to be done.
In rare cases, heartburn, nausea or other minor gastrointestinal
problems can develop.
We advise individuals to consult with their doctor before
taking any supplements. It is important that you tell your
prescriber or any other healthcare professional who may be
treating you that you are taking a product which contains
glucosamine. And you should definately discuss taking Cortaflex
with your healthcare professional BEFORE taking it if you
have any of these conditions: diabetes, heart problems or
heart disease, liver disease, stomach or intestinal problems,
an unusual or allergic reaction to glucosamine, pregnant or
trying to get pregnant or breast feeding.
Side effects of Chondroitin
This is what the current research and evidence tells us so
far about any side effects with taking Chondroitin:
"The most common side effects are increased intestinal
gas and softened stools. Chondroitin can cause bleeding in
people who have a bleeding disorder or take a blood thinning
medicine (anticoagulant). If you take a blood thinner or a
daily aspirin (of any strength), only take chondroitin under
a doctor's supervision: Its molecular structure is similar
to that of the blood-thinner heparin, and the interaction
could potentially cause excessive bleeding."
Interactions between Chondroitin and other medications are
unknown.
We advise individuals to consult with their doctor before
taking any supplements. It is important that you tell your
prescriber or any other healthcare professional who may be
treating you that you are taking a product which contains
Chondroitin. And you should definately discuss taking Cortaflex
with your healthcare professional BEFORE taking it if you
have any of these conditions: diabetes, heart problems or
heart disease, liver disease, stomach or intestinal problems,
an unusual or allergic reaction to Chondroitin, pregnant or
trying to get pregnant or breast feeding.
Side effects of MSM (methylsulfonylmethane)
This is what the currently available research tells us about
any side effects with taking MSM (methylsulfonylmethane):
"If you are on a blood thinner (anticoagulant) such
as aspirin or warfarin (Coumadin), consult your doctor before
taking MSM. It can occasionally have a blood thinning effect.
Some people develop minor gastrointestinal discomfort such
as cramping and increased stool frequency with MSM use. In
rare cases a skin rash may appear. Stop using MSM if this
or any other allergic reaction occurs"
Because no rigorously controlled studies of MSM usage of
any length have been done in humans, long term effects are
presently unknown. Interactions between MSM and other medications
are unknown but these are currently available to us via the
research.
Drug interactions
Aspirin
MSM may intensify the blood-thinning effect of aspirin. Use
with caution. Consult your doctor before taking together.
Dalteparin Sodium
MSM may intensify the blood-thinning effect of dalteparin.
Use with caution. Consult your doctor before taking together.
Enoxaparin Sodium Injection
MSM may intensify the blood-thinning effect of enoxaparin.
Use with caution. Consult your doctor before taking together.
Warfarin
MSM may intensify the blood-thinning effect of warfarin. Use
with caution. Consult your doctor before taking together.
We advise individuals to consult with their doctor before
taking any supplements. It is important that you tell your
prescriber or any other healthcare professional who may be
treating you that you are taking a product which contains
MSM. And you should definately discuss taking Cortaflex with
your healthcare professional BEFORE taking it if you have
any of these conditions: diabetes, heart problems or heart
disease, liver disease, stomach or intestinal problems, an
unusual or allergic reaction to MSM, pregnant or trying to
get pregnant or breast feeding.
Side effects of Hyaluronic acid
There is very little currently available to tell us about
any side effects from taking hyaluronic acid. However when
it is used in adults by injection into the knee, 20 milligrams
(mg) once a week (one week apart) for a total of five injections
you are advised to tell your doctor if you have ever had any
unusual or allergic reaction to hyaluronate or to bird protein,
feathers, or egg products.
Interactions between hyaluronic acid and other medications
are unknown.
We advise individuals to consult with their doctor before
taking any supplements. It is important that you tell your
prescriber or any other healthcare professional who may be
treating you that you are taking a product which contains
hyaluronic acid. And you should definately discuss taking
Cortaflex with your healthcare professional BEFORE taking
it if you have any of these conditions: diabetes, heart problems
or heart disease, liver disease, stomach or intestinal problems,
an unusual or allergic reaction to hyaluronic acid, pregnant
or trying to get pregnant or breast feeding.
