CM8 is short for Cetyl Myristoleate, the most important of the Flexcin ingredients. Cetyl Myristoleate is the cetyl ester of myristoleic acid. CM8 has numerous biological functions, including working as an anti-inflammatory agent and a pain reliever.

Since joint pain and impairment is often caused by inflammation, our formulas include multiple ingredients with anti-inflammatory properties. Bromelain is one such ingredient and plays an important supporting role in the overall formulation.

The enzyme blend is a complex proteinaceous substance that induces and accelerates the reactions necessary for metabolism. Digestion is dependent on enzymes produced naturally in the body. Large molecules like CM8® (Cetyl Myristoleate) require more effort for the body to digest.

MSM is another important sulfur compound found in Flexcin. It has been specially formulated to increase the absorption rate of sulfur. This substance is a naturally occurring organic molecule found in the tissues of plants and animals.

Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II is a revolutionary ingredient that provides the body with “tissue oriented food” for maximum nutritional support. The most common structural protein in the body is collagen and Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II is the ultimate collagen supplement

Glucosamine occurs naturally in the body and plays a key role in the construction of cartilage, the connective tissue that cushions the joints. Glucosamine stimulates the production of the key structural components of cartilage and the incorporation of sulfur into that cartilage.

Our owner Tamer Elsafy knew his grandmother was suffering from the issues above and he set out to do something about it. He did not want her taking pain killers to mask the pain, but wanted to find a safe and healthy solution that would relieve the symptoms of joint pains and arthritis. During his research he found Ceytl Myristoleate (CM8®) which was discovered by Harry Diehl and Tamer decided to make this the main ingredient in Flexcin which truly sets it apart from other products on the market.

The story of how Cetyl Myristoleate was discovered, isolated and created started in Bethesda, Maryland in 1962. It was there that a man named Dr. Harry W. Diehl was working at the National Institutes of Health, or NIH. The NIH is a division of the US Government, and is responsible for research into diseases, afflictions and vaccines. Dr. Diehl worked in the same building where arthritis research was being conducted, however, he was no expert on arthritis. His specialty was dealing with sugar synthesis. In fact, his method of sugar synthesis was even used to prepare the oral polio vaccine that was developed by Dr. Jonas Salk.But Dr. Diehl took a special interest in arthritis when a friend developed an extreme case of it. Since it was not his specialty, he turned his own research from sugar synthesis to arthritis, hoping to find something useful for his friend. He started out the way a lot of researchers might, with mice. It was already well known that there was a known toxin called mycobacterium butyricum, or Freund’s adjuvant. When injected , this toxin is known to cause animals to become arthritic.
