What is Flexiseq Osteo Gel?

Flexiseq Osteo Gel is a topical gel designed to relieve pain and stiffness associated with osteoarthritis. It is applied directly to the skin over the affected joints.

How does Flexiseq Osteo Gel work?

Flexiseq Osteo Gel works through its unique Sequessome Technology, which involves the use of phospholipid vesicles. These vesicles penetrate the skin and target the site of pain within the joint, providing lubrication and reducing friction, which in turn alleviates pain and stiffness.
