What Causes Gout?

What Causes Gout?

Gout (gouty arthritis) develops when excessive levels of uric acid build up in the bloodstream, a condition known as hyperuricemia. This leads to a build-up of urate crystals in and around the joints, which makes movement painful and difficult. It's a painful form of arthritis, characterized by flare-ups that often start in the big toe (a symptom known as podagra), and can also bring swelling and pain in the ankles, knees, feet, wrists, or elbows.

Flare-ups from gouty arthritis can last days or weeks and commonly occur at night. According to the National Institutes of Health, gout that goes untreated can eventually cause lasting damage to the joints and kidneys, so it's worth taking seriously.

Have you dealt with gouty arthritis, or are you living with one or more of its symptoms? There are ways to support your joints — for many people, adding a daily joint supplement to a healthy routine is one of them.

Flexcin Joint Supplement

Flexcin is built around the all-natural compound Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8), which traces back to research by Dr. Harry Diehl in conjunction with a government-sponsored program at the National Institutes of Health. Diehl observed that a certain strain of albino mice carrying this natural compound appeared resistant to induced arthritis, which prompted decades of further study into cetyl myristoleate for joint support.

Natural Ingredients

Cetyl myristoleate is the primary ingredient in Flexcin. To support both short-term comfort and long-term joint health, we combine it with:

• Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium — an amino sugar that helps support the structure and function of joints. It occurs naturally in the body and plays a key role in cartilage construction.
• MSM — a sulfur compound that occurs naturally in plants and animals, and that the body uses to form connective tissue. It's often associated with supporting a healthy inflammatory response and joint comfort.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen Type II — collagen is the most common structural protein in the body; hydrolyzed collagen is included to support joint cartilage.
• Bromelain — found naturally in pineapple stems, often used to support a normal inflammatory response and ease everyday muscle stiffness and soreness.
• Vitamin C — supports tissue repair and the body's normal maintenance of cartilage.
• Manganese — an essential nutrient that supports the building of cartilage and bone.
• Enzyme Blend — aids digestion and helps the body absorb larger molecules like cetyl myristoleate.
