Phytalgic 45 Capsules Phytalgic is a natural formula which may help maintain mobility, flexibility & suppleness of the joints. Those people who now suffer with joint pain & everyday discomfort, which could be a result of advancing age related body changes, now have the opportunity to consider & choose a Phytalgic supplement containing natural ingredients. Some Prescription drugs & medicines often have significant side effects if taken long term, & as Phytalgic contains 4 natural ingredients, including Wild Fish Oil containing Omega-3 fatty acids, this presents the opportunity for deep & lasting relief without side effects. Unfortunately joint pain & poor joint health can be very uncomfotable & for some chronic, & with advancing years the joint mobilty will dimish too. The Phytalgic supplement is well established in France as a best seller for joint health care, available in 98% of French pharmacies & now available here to purchase in capsule form in a box of 45 caps.A growing number of the population here in the UK are diagnosed with arthritis, & with Osteoarthritis now being the most common type of arthritis, 8.5 million potentially have joint pain & require regular pain relief. Most arthritic symptoms may be treated with analgesics, known as Non-Steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs), physiotherapy or surgery, however due to contra-indications of these type of medicines, the option for a natural therapy or supplements such as a Phytalgic supplement, could be preferrred. Clinical studies regarding the "natural" supplement Phytalgic offers both improvement of symptoms of osteoarthritis & reduces the need for NSAID pain relievers, say the French scientists publishing their work in Arthritis Research & Therapy*. Now, the developers of Phytalgic say that regular use of the supplement enabled arthritis sufferers go lower their intake of pain killers from an average of 19 tablets per week to an average of 6 or 7 tablets per week. Phytalgic may be of benefit to people looking for natural pain relief, who potentially are suffering from wear & tear of their joints. If mobility itself is becoming problematic & showing recent decline in joint mobility, Phytalgic may be used & also by those looking for preventative measures of osteoarthritis. For those who regularly enjoy sports activities or who may have suffered a joint trauma Phytalgic may be taken. Alterantively if the everyday activites of work are impacting on the joints for the occupations categorised as 'manual workers', again Phytalgic may be of benefit. The impact on joints of patients who are overweight or clinically obese is well established & detrimental to overall health, & women who are post-menopausal could also benefit from Phytalgic. The natural ingredients in Phytalgic include Wild Fish Oil, as this type of oily fish is naturally rich in Omega-3 & Omega-6, & is polyunsaturated, these offer powerful anti-inflamatory properties & are arthro-protective. Zinc makes it possible to stop the progression & amplification of the inflammatory reaction within the joint by inhibiting the mobility of the macrophages & preventing their surge in the synovial liquid. The Stinging Nettle was traditionally used by the Romans for the treatment of osteoarthritis, & the nettle is officially recognised treatment of osteoarthritis in Germany. The Nettle plant is indicated for the treatment of joint pain. The addition of Vitamin E stimulates the production of the components of the cartilage, by helping with the protection of joint mobility, like the Glycosaminoglycans. Vitamin E is recognised as a powerful antioxidant & offers analgesic relief. Dosage Take 1 soft capsule in the morning & 2 in the evening with a glass of water & food, total daily dose is 3 capsules.
