When I was 18, I was hit by a car and suffered one of the worst ankle breaks the surgeons had seen. I ended up with pins and plates holding it together, and honestly, I narrowly escaped my entire leg being shattered thanks to the shoes I was wearing that day (that’s a story for another time).
Back then, they told me I’d almost certainly end up with chronic arthritis within 10 years, a concept you don't fully appreciate at 18.
They were right.
As the years went on, my mobility decreased and pain became debilitating. As a main weight bearing joint there was no escaping having to use it. Walking, standing, exercising. Everything revolves around it.
I tried all the normal routes with supplements but none of them touched my pain and I was having to alter my exercise choices to accommodate the pain. At the time I hadn't yet formulated a human range and my own mobility struggle was actually the reason behind creating FlexHA.
I was desperate and exhausted from the impact on my life so I used all my knowledge and experience in formulation to create something to improve my quality of life. On a selfish note, it was made for me, with ingredients included at levels I believed could actually make a difference.
I trialled it on myself first and to my relief found within 2 weeks that my symptoms significantly improved so I rolled it out on trial to customers who had very specific joint issues where other options hadn't helped. The feedback was honestly incredible, so I put the product into manufacture and rolled it out to help more people.
To this day, FlexHA is still essential for maintaining my joint health and helping keep discomfort under control. As time’s gone on, I’ve also taken a more multifaceted approach and added in other supplements from the range alongside it, including Boswellia and UC-II Collagen.
People often ask why I care so much about formulations and why I’m obsessive over ingredient levels and quality.
This is why.
Because I know firsthand what it’s like when your joints stop you living normally!
