Synflex and Flexicose Compared
I received another email from a customer a few days ago wanting to know about the differences between Synflex and Flexicose. We get this question almost daily concerning our two liquid glucosamine products. I have created a page about the differences between Flexicose and Synflex which I sent him the link to. He had been reading about the benefits of liquid glucosamine when used for arthritis and joint pain, and he was going to make a purchase. But he was still studying on which brand to purchase.
He also said a friend of his had pointed out that the reason pharmacies don’t usually handle liquid glucosamine is the fact that the shelf life is not very long. He was concerned about this. I replied that the expiration dates on the Flexicose and Synflex we sell are always approximately 16 months from the date of purchase…give or take a few months. This is plenty long enough for individuals to stock up with six to twelve bottles or more. But I suppose he could have a point about the big stores not wanting to stock products which will expire in that time period.
He was also under the impression he would need to refrigerate all he purchased. I replied that refrigeration of Synflex and Flexicose was not necessary before they were opened. But after opening, Flexicose needs to be refrigerated. Before opening liquid glucosamine, simply store it in a cool place in your home.
