LIMBREL (FLAVOCOXID)

A Different Approach to Osteoarthritis Treatment

You may be able to obtain some relief from the symptoms of osteoarthritis with a prescription from your doctor for Limbrel, which is considered a medical food product. Limbrel works through dietary management to restore the underlying metabolic balance of inflammatory fatty acids in OA, rather than “treating symptoms” as drugs do.

How Does a Medical Food Product Work?

Inflammation in your joints is painful and sometimes debilitating, no matter where it is located. Limbrel consists of citrated zinc bisglycinate and flavocoxid. Flavocoxid is a medical food product made up of substances from plant sources called flavonoids and flavans. Limbrel inhibits the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes that are responsible for causing inflammation. Limbrel is also a potent antioxidant that helps to absorb free radicals in the joints. Free radicals in the joints have been found to directly break down cartilage over time and trigger other inflammatory processes in OA.

More About Osteoarthritis

There are many types of arthritis but osteoarthritis is the one that may benefit from treatment with Limbrel. Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease sometimes referred to as “wear and tear” arthritis because it occurs when the cartilage in your joints is damaged or worn. That allows your bones to rub against each other, leading to joint stiffness, pain and inflammation. Osteoarthritis is more common in weight-bearing joints such as knees, hips, feet, and back and affects men and women equally.

Each person's symptoms of osteoarthritis can be as different as each person's body types and may differ depending on the joints affected. Symptoms range from very mild to rather debilitating with chronic severe pain even while resting. If you think that you might have osteoarthritis, or any another form of arthritis, you should consult your physician. Only your physician can review your osteoarthritis symptoms and provide the right diagnosis.

Before Limbrel is Prescribed

You should not take Limbrel if you are hypersensitive to flavonoids or allergic to zinc. Flavonoids are a family of beneficial ingredients generally found in colored vegetables, fruits, red wine and green tea. Patients with mild to moderate OA feel an effect of Limbrel in 3-4 days after taking Limbrel, while others may feel an effect in 5-10 days or longer, so be patient.

Limbrel Recommendations

Limbrel has been shown to be safe with a very low potential for drug interactions. If you experience any discomfort while taking Limbrel, inform your doctor immediately. Store all medications out of children’s reach and never share them with anyone else, this is an Rx medication prescribed to you.
