Animal Flex is the only one-per-day joint and ligament supplement specifically designed for serious bodybuilders and powerlifters... Flex is one of the "foundational" supplements.

I have been on it for two weeks, and I feel like a new person. Its phenomenal

If I told you I was good, you would say I was bragging. If I told you I was no good, you would know I was lying.

This is the best joint supp I have ever used. I have had bad knees but since I started using FLEX that has not been an issue.

I defiantly like the “combination” Flex Provides. As the years stack up, I need to stay protect my joints. The ingredients in Flex have been recommended in many studies. With Universal’s reputation I trust the dosages and combination of this product. I used to buy them separately .. no longer with Flex!

Having knee pain I would certainly like it to be available in Canada. Or at least at supplementscanada.com

I've commented on it in other threads as well as recommending it to many (everybody) I converse with. It is great stuff! Keeps my joints lubed and the aches away. Flex is awesome!

just wonderin

Hey guys, i've got a bad ankle that for the moment has put me out of doing squats and deadlifts, my bread and butter. Heartbreaking to say the least. I've been eyeing FLEX and I'm not expecting miracles, but "modern medical science" hasn't seemed to do shit. If FLEX helps, even a bit, I will let everyone here know and recommend it to every joe I pass. Peace out till later brothers.

I do like it, but I must take 2 - 3 packs per day or I start to get aching joints
But I was used to Glucosamine 1000 and MSM1500 2 x day.
At 2 packs a day it works quite well, 3 if i have been going unusually heavy

Good stuff

Yeah I've developed bad knees over the past 4 yrs thanks to Uncle Sam. This stuff made me feel anew. I havent had this ease of mobility in a long time. I'm definately recommending Flex to all.

update

Hey guys, just wanted to let ya'll know that I've been taking it for a week so far and have noticed a decent amount of relief especially in my forearms (that shin splint feeling). The ankle is still coming along. One of the ingredients in Flex (Hyaluronic Acid) was a treatment I was having injected into my ankle once a week, it kinda helped but for a day or so. I'm upping to 2 packs/day and will have future updates. Has anyone else been having better results with two packs a day like ctgblue?

OK....To summarise and keep it sorta brief, Ive had cartilage trouble in both wrists, had a year + lay off, rehabbed it back and have been using Animal Flex since around August 06, Been through loads of cans.....

So I went for a weeks holiday over to America, and didnt bring flex with me (namely cuz it can be hassle with customs, esp. from Britain to America).

Now Im back and my wrists are starting to bother me again, co-incedence? I dont think so..

Well Im back on my Flex so I pray things get better, I cant miss out on training.

I have had sore elbows for more than 6 months. The soreness became worse and my triceps workouts suffered. First I stopped making progress and then I was forced to do very light weights. I bought a generic MSM+Chondroitin+Glucosamine Sulphate supplement from a pharmacy. I used it regularly for so many months and found no difference at all. Recently, my family doctor told me these substances are useless according to a medical journal he read.

3 weeks back I started taking Flex. I have nothing but praise for this supplement. My last triceps workout was sooooo much better. After 2 weeks of using it, I only felt a slight pinch during each rep. I'm confident my elbows will heal completely by the end of this cycle.

Flex is defintiely a staple for me now.

glad to hear bro, do you ice your elbows after every upper body session out of curiousity? Inflammation for 6 months+ sucks...

No I don't. But I'm guessing I should ice my knees and elbows after certain workouts. 6+ months of pain is partly because of my ignorance and partly cuz I believed the generic joint supplement will show some improvement.
I'm really happy and proud that like all other Animal products I use (Pak/Pump/Nitro), Flex lives up to its claims.

OK, I'm no phucking cheerleader, but what is this shit, surgery in a can? I've just gotten on it along with PAK, and Pump. They are good, but without this, I couldn't do what I do. I tweaked my shoulder joint/muscle in the gym the other day, and was having trouble putting my jacket on. I was on GNC's MSM Glucosamine, but it wasn't helping. In 2 days this has me feeling about 50 percent relief. I worked bicepts this am, and have no regrets now. I can't afford a gym injury because as an aircraft mechanic, your buddies don't want to hear why you can't help change a 200 pound wheel and tire. FLEX gives me the confidence to push it in the gym. yeah, get it.

Last October, I popped out my right shoulder for the third time in one year. Not a fun experience by any means. The doctor told me I may need surgery on it if it happens again. Along with my physiotherapy and rehab exercises, I decided to start taking flex.

Awesome supplement. Flex and the exercises have helped a great deal. Aside from the occasional soreness in it from working out hard, my shoulder feels a lot better. I don't think I'll be going off of Flex anytime soon.
