Monday, 23 February 2009Achy joints (http://www.flexnow.us) relief breakthrough, FlexNow® a new approach for painful joints is the only all natural dietary supplement containing shea triterpenes. Shea triterpenes, under the name BSP-201, was the subject of a double-blind randomized placebo controlled parallel group clinical study with the aim to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain relief) effects in hum ans. FlexNow manufacturer and distributor, BSP Pharma, excitedly announce the findings from this clinical study to suffering U.S. athletes.
The study demonstrates that the oral administration of shea triterpenes (BSP-201) reduces achy joints and muscle tenderness hence pain and the related inflammatory process associated with post-exercise muscle soreness. This is relevant to arthritic pain as it is the same underlying inflammatory process in both cases. The abstract can be found at http://www.flexnow.us/sports/
Shea triterpenes, the sole ingredient in FlexNow, comes from the pit of the shea fruit found in West Africa and are distinctive in the botanical world for their ability to reduce joint specific inflammation and relieve achy joints. Unlike glucosamine, shea triterpenes target joint specific inflammation making it one of the most powerful inflammation fighters of any known botanical.
“For athletes who’ve been pounding the hardwood, asphalt, Astroturf and grasses for years, achy joints, painful joints and joint specific inflammation can gradually or suddenly appear and become an overwhelming adversary,” says joint health educator and BSP Pharma President, Len Smith.
“We know that poor joint health is triggered by circulatory blockage in the joint blood vessels which degrades nutrient flow into the joint cartilage,” says Smith. “Improvements in joint health are only possible when fats and nutrients can again freely flow through the blocked blood vessels, and this is helped considerably by reducing joint specific inflammation.”
“FlexNow has truly changed my life in a way I did not think possible. I am able to live my life like a normal person without the constant nuisance of arthritic pain in my knee. I have been recommending it to all my clients and they love it too!” reports C.J. Murphy, MFS, National Powerlifting Champion 2006, and co-owner of Total Performance Sports voted one of American’s 20 Best Gyms by Men’s Health Magazine, 2008 & 2005.
FlexNow has many anecdotal validations from athletes such as world class cyclists, professional football players, weightlifters, and marathoners who have gotten their games back and are able to compete fully in their sport once again.
Additionally, FlexNow™ Joint Formula was one of only seven dietary supplements accepted by the FDA in 2004, meeting all the safety and toxicology requirements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. And it was the Best of Supplements winner in 2008 by Better Nutrition and comes with a complete relief or complete refund guarantee.
Achy joints (http://www.flexnow.us) relief found with FlexNow is a nutraceutical by BSP Pharma Inc., a subsidiary of BSP Pharma A/S of Denmark, based in Egg Harbor Township, NJ, and was formed in 2005 to bring the remarkable shea ingredient health products to market. BSP’s CEO and President Leonard P. Smith has held senior level positions in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industry for more than 20 years.

Thursday, 19 February 2009Since Team Fitness America’s conception in 2005, they have offered the Los Angeles metropolitan area with affordable in home personal trainers that are qualified from top organizations up to 7 days per week during set appointment times. Now Team Fitness America is opening up their service hours to be available as early as 5am and as late as 10pm.
Through their development of a solid base of personal trainers to back up their new service hours, Team Fitness America implemented a careful hiring process that consisted of certification checks, reference checks, and background checks to make sure that their clientele will be provided with the best Los Angeles personal trainers.
“We are confident that our new service hours are going to go over very well,” says Michael, a representative of Team Fitness America. “By our clients having the opportunity to choose the days, times, and the style of personal trainer that they want, our new service hours provide our clients with complete control over the development of their personal trainer program.”
Team Fitness America has also devised a system to stay within most consumer budgets by offering their programs at a price that is cheaper than most gym based, Los Angeles personal trainers.
“Through the difficult economic times, most people are timid to contract an in home personal trainer due to some rates topping out as high as $150 per hour,” says Michael. “Our Los Angeles personal trainer programs are a fraction of the usual cost and usually once a client contacts our company and they see how affordable we are, they quickly contract us out to be their source for in home personal trainers.”
Team Fitness America continues to grow their company everyday from their continued efforts of providing the best at the cheapest price and at a time that is convenient to their clients.
Currently, their personal trainers in Los Angeles can service the entire metropolitan area in cities like Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach, Long Beach, Torrance, Beverly Hills, West Hollywood, Chatsworth, and many more.
