Knee Joint Pain Breakthrough Gets 70 Year Old Back in the Boston Marathon

March 24, 2009 - PRLog -- Egg Harbor Twp, NJ - Knee joint pain (http://www.flexnow.us) breakthrough, Flexnow®, a natural dietary supplement with a new approach for painful joints gets 70 year old runner, John Ionoff from Valrico, FL, back in the Boston Marathon, fulfilling his dream of running in the marathon to celebrate his 70th birthday which is also in April

In February, while training for the Boston Marathon, John began to experience knee joint pain in his right knee that appeared to be from a fall he had taken the previous year.  The knee joint pain became severe enough to all but stop him from running.  

“The results of a recently published clinical trial are an exciting development for shea triterpenes,” said Richard D. Johnson, President and CEO of BSP Pharma, makers of the shea triterpene-based supplement.  “The study adds to a substantial body of scientific evidence to support the pain-reducing, inflammation-controlling and cartilage-retaining properties of all natural, highly concentrated shea triterpenes.”

Hearing the information on shea triterpenes, John started using a supplement containing this ingredient for his knee joint pain.  “The results were beyond what I had expected, allowing me to resume running in the next three days, with continuing improvement through race day,” exclaims John.  “Although I had lost valuable training time prior to taking FlexNow, this product allowed me to start and finish the Boston Marathon celebrating my 70th birthday.  I increased the amount I was taking to three twice a day for a week after the marathon.  The speed of recovery was just great; much less soreness and pain resulting in a happy runner and a firm advocate of the benefits of FlexNow. I continue to use the product and hope it will help me to run for a long time,” continued John.

FlexNow is being used by a great number of athletes with tremendous success.  The published abstract of the clinical trial can be read at http://www.flexnow.us/sports/  while more information can be found at http://www.flexnow.us/faqs/.

Additionally, FlexNow® Joint Formula was one of only seven dietary supplements accepted by the FDA in 2004, meeting all the safety and toxicology requirements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. And it was the Best of Supplements winner in 2008 by Better Nutrition.
