    Default Species Arthrolyze Vs Animal Flex

    I am trying to decided between purchasing one of these. I am not trying to start this thread, to create problems or controversy, but rather to help me make a decision. I was looking at the ingredients and it seems that Animal Flex has some additional stuff in it like Hyaloronic acid and a few others, that Arthrolyze doesn't have. Are those things important? I like to buy Species to support Dave but I was comparing labels online and noticed that Flex had some more stuff. I was hoping someone could explain the advantages each product has.

    Thanks so much in advance for the help.

    I was reading about Hyaloronic acid and it plays a role in tumor growth. I think I am going to go with Arthrolyze for this reason.

    Ok, I ordererd Omegalyze, Arthrolyze and Mac Nut Oil from Allstarhealth
    They seemed to be the only place that carried all the ALRI products and all the Species ones, as well. I like to get all my stuff at once so this place was convenient.

    While I have not taken Artholyze I have taken the dosages of the ingredients and will attest to Artholyze containing a very potent dose of MSM and glucosamine. Both of these items are never taken in high enough doses for many users and Artholyze addresses this fact.

    I took them both and 2 servings as well with both.Arthrolyze is far superior to Animal Flex.I had issues with my knees "cracking" while squatting,walking up a flight of stairs,etc.2 doses of Animal Flex didn't reduce the cracking or the on and off pains but the Arthrolyze did.Everytime I went back to the Universal brand to save some cash the problems would come right back.

    Thanks for the input. I am happy that I purchased the Arthrolyze and have been taking 2 servings for a few days, already. I am lucky in that I have no joint pain at all so I am using the Arthrolyze as a preventative measure.

    Both look like good products but what would make them both better is if they included Cissus in them. Cissus works better and much faster than Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM.

    Default Animal Flex

    Sounds like she may have an intestinal blockage or possible a twisted intestine. If this is the case she must have medical treatment immediately.

    What makes Animal Flex different from other joint supplements:


    Most joint supplements have the regular glucosamine/chondroitin/msm. These are effective joint supporting nutrients. Animal Flex contains these nutrients in adequate doses however it does not stop there and here is where the differences are:

    Animal Flex, like other Animal supplements, is complete and comprehensive. Each pack of Animal Flex consists of several key protective complexes: (1) a potent joint construction complex to help repair connective tissue; (2) a lubrication compound to help cushion the joints from lifting; (3) a support complex to help promote rehabilitation and reduce soreness; and (4) an essential vitamin/mineral blend to underscore optimal joint health.

    Animal Flex has some patented ingredients that you won’t find in most other joint supplements such as CMO:

    WHAT IS CETYLMYRISTOLEATE ?
    Cetyl Myristoleate is an all-natural medium chain fatty acid found in only a small number of very select species of animals. Clinical experience suggests that Cetyl Myristoleate acts as an anti-inflammatory, as well as a surfactant and lubricant for damaged joints. Basically, it makes them more "slippery." This substance holds the promise of being the most effective solution to joint problems of any product ever introduced into the market. It is not habit-forming and contains no harsh chemicals or drugs that can cause side effects. It works in a natural manner by acting at the site of inflammation, is highly resistant to oxidation, it has a relatively long life in the body.


    Bromelain is another ingredient that you don’t find in other joint supplements. Bromelain is useful in the treatment of a wide range of conditions, but it is particularly effective in relieving inflammation associated with infection and physical injuries.
    These are just a couple of ingredients that make Animal Flex stand out.
