Flexcin noticed a series of intriguing patterns in how women take Flexcin for joint health compared with men. Some notables from the findings:

--48.3% of women take Flexcin joint supplement for preventative care; 26.5% for men.
--Only 15.3% of men order Flexcin for wife; But 83.4% of women order Flexcin for husband.
--79.1% of women stay committed to daily use through first three months; only 53.2% for men.
--Most women (64.6%) inquire about Flexcin earlier in the joint discomfort process; most men inquire when pain is more severe (55.2%) and joint stiffness has set in.

“It continues to be worrisome that most men still take a very reactive approach to their health,” said Tamer Elsafy, CEO and founder of Flexcin. “Conversely, women are extremely in tune with their health and they’re raised to be more open and patient about the body’s healing process.”

In a blog post for Flexcin, Steve Alves, PhD, CRNA Associate Clinical Professor Coordinator at Northeastern’s Bouve School of Health Sciences, said an appropriate level of awareness is lacking for men’s health. “Men wait until they’ve had an acute episode that forces them to deal with their health,” said Alves. “What men need most is an awareness campaign that brings to light the importance of being more proactive with their health.”

“Throughout life, important health situations like pregnancy and menopause also take place over the course of time, so women are accustomed to being patient with their bodies and its healing nature,” said Maureen Daniek, a Seattle-based psychotherapist with a master’s of social work. “Men don’t deal with similar health-related biological cycles, so it’s understandable that they wouldn’t have the same level of patience when it comes to their own bodies.”

Flexcin is a joint health supplement that brings back overall joint mobility by rebuilding the lost cartilage between the joints.
