Cortaflex overcomes the problems with the large molecules of Glucosamine and Chondroitin by providing these already broken down into their smaller component amino acids and aminosaccharides leading to a much more efficient absorbtion and effective usage.

Everyone "knows" that Glucosamine and Chondroitin are good for the joints as they help the body repair the worn or damaged cartilage, which is the cause of arthritic pain and stiffness, and improve the quality of the joint lubricating fluid. The trouble is: this "knowledge" comes from a lot of research that has been done into the effects of INJECTING forms of these compounds directly into the joints - a SURGICAL procedure!
There is a big difference between injecting something into the joints and taking it orally ie. swallowing it! In spite of this, there are many pills, potions and supplements containing these two substances, all riding on the back of the research into the surgical procedures mentioned above. However, it does not follow that taking something orally will have the same effect as injecting it into a joint. Something taken orally has to be digested, absorbed into the bloodstream and then find its way from the bloodstream into the cells of the joints, where its needed.
This is a particular problem in the case of Glucosamine and Chondroitin because they are made up of very large and complex molecules: too large to pass through the small pores in the blood capillary walls. Imagine trying to get a football through a hole the size of a tennis ball! As a result the molecules get "stuck" in the bloodstream and then simply pass out of the body as waste!
"I purchased 60 Cortaflex Capsules and took 2 a day for eight days and then one a day thereafter, the relief in my damaged knees is unbelievable and I have recommended the product to other people."
Robert Dearden, Rotherham
The large molecules of Glucosamine and Chondroitin are actually made up of combinations of much smaller components - specific amino acids and aminosaccharides - which are themselves naturally occurring in the body.
Cortaflex scientists pioneered a radical new approach to overcome this problem: take the large molecules of Glucosamine and Chondroitin and break them down into those smaller component parts, specifically: Glucuronic Acid, Proline, Glutamic Acid, L-Glutamine, Aspartic Acid and Glycene. These are the amino acids and aminosaccharides which you will see listed within the ingredients of all forms of Cortaflex - human, canine and equine. Being smaller in size, these molecules easily pass from the bloodstream into the cells of the joints and provide the raw materials the cells need to repair cartilage and rejuvenate the lubricating (Synovial) fluid.
"In case you get any queries about the effectiveness of Cortaflex, my Labrador is now getting on for 12 years old. At 4 years old a vet told us to have him put down as his hips were so bad, either that or risk a bilateral excision arthroplasty. We decided to explore alternative solutions. 8 years later and he's still going strong on Cortaflex and hasn't even had an operation!" - Michaela Few, Kent
"Received the Cortaflex capsules this morning. Can't tell you how much of a miracle worker they have been over the past year or so." - Helen Gemmell, Glasgow
"I ordered Cortaflex for a friend's Welsh Cob mare and we could see the difference within the first week!" - Gillian Arnott - East Lothian
"We would just like to say how pleased we are with Cortaflex. Our 13 year old cat started to limp last year and was stiff after sitting/laying in the same position for a period of time. We had been giving him a powdered form of glucosamine which did not relieve his syptoms. After trying Cortaflex... we don't want Rocky to be without it. Thank you very much"
- Richard, Kerry and Rocky Turtill
"The Cortaflex is doing wonders for my 10 year old dog - and he has only been on it approx 10 days! He has a lot more energy and is walking a hundred times better!"
- Patricia Sheehy-O'Neill, Bahrain
"Hello from the Heart of America. I stumbled across your web site, and have been taking the capsule form of Cortaflex since its begining. I am glad that it is only a memory and not the actual pain of having to walk down the stairs backwards, to minimize the knee discomfort. Now I don't give a second thought to going up or down stairs, and that at aged 60. Cortaflex "plays" in Peoria (an old vaudevillian term)." - Kathy Knapp, Peoria, Illinois, USA
"Just thought I'd let you know Cortaflex has been invaluable in keeping my 27 yo gelding going - even after a tendon injury when he was laid off for a year. He's still competing (and winning) at dressage on a regular basis. Ta!!" - Meron Reid - Renfrew
"Many thanks! The Cortaflex is doing wonders for my aged Spaniel!" - Helen B - Manchester
"I take Cortaflex every morning and am certainly feeling the benefits."
- Mick Channon (Ex-England International Footballer)

"...you may like to know how we are getting on with Cortaflex. Although it did seem to take quite some time before we could tell a difference, we are now absolutely delighted with the results on our Labrador, and my father and I have been using the human cortaflex with amazing results also - its like I have new knees!"
