We have many customers who order both Syn-flex and Flexicose. I want to remind everyone that you may split your order any way you wish with no additional charge. For example, we have many customers who order six bottles and wish to have three Flexicose and three Syn-flex. I do not have a shopping cart item for this exact combination. But if you wish to split the order, simply write us a message in the “comments” section of your checkout page. Just let us know you wish to split the order and in what way.

Both Flexicose and Syn-flex are fine products. They each contain 1500 mg of glucosamine, but some of the additional ingredients are different. Therefore, many of our customers choose to get the best of both brands by alternating between the two. Although Flexicose has a grape flavor and Syn-flex is Mandarin orange flavored, most users mix the product into a drink. We prefer ours in orange juice. And most dogs don’t care which they receive.

Synflex and Flexicose Compared

Posted in Liquid Glucosamine at 7:36 pm by Steve Weber

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.
