Re: Joyce Crady (# 26) 
Instaflex Joint Support is a dietary supplement formulated to alleviate joint pain and enhance mobility. Its primary ingredients include glucosamine sulfate, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), white willow bark extract, ginger root concentrate, boswellia serrata extract, turmeric root extract, cayenne, and hyaluronic acid.
Considerations for Heart Disease
While Instaflex has been studied for joint pain relief, its safety profile in individuals with heart disease requires careful consideration:
- White Willow Bark Extract: This ingredient contains salicin, which is similar to aspirin. It may interact with blood-thinning medications and could affect blood clotting
- Turmeric and Ginger: Both have anti-inflammatory properties and are generally considered safe. However, they can also have mild blood-thinning effects, which might be a concern for those on anticoagulant therapy
- Glucosamine: Generally safe, but there's some evidence suggesting it might interact with medications like warfarin, potentially increasing the risk of bleeding.
Considerations for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA)
For individuals with RA:
- Glucosamine: Some studies suggest it may help with joint pain, but its effectiveness in RA is less clear compared to osteoarthritis
- Turmeric (Curcumin): Research indicates that curcumin can reduce symptoms of RA, including joint swelling and morning stiffness
- Boswellia Serrata Extract: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties, it may provide relief from joint pain associated with RA
Recommendations
Given the potential interactions and the presence of ingredients that may affect blood clotting:
- Consult Your Healthcare Provider: Before starting Instaflex, especially if you have heart disease or RA, it's crucial to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's appropriate for your specific health conditions and medications.
- Monitor for Side Effects: If approved by your doctor, start with a lower dose to assess tolerance and monitor for any adverse reactions.
- Regular Check-ups: Ensure regular monitoring of your heart condition and RA symptoms to evaluate the supplement's effectiveness and safety.

You may wish to double check with your pharmacist to be safe, as InstaFlex Advanced is reported to contain Curcumin, which could affect blood pressure [1]. The ingredients are listed as:
- Giant Kntweed Extract 200 mg
- Curcumin 164 mg
- ApresFlex (Boswellia) 100 mg
- UC-II (3% Type II Collagen from Chicken) 27.2 mg
- Hylauronic Acid 5 mg
- BioPerine (Piperine) 5 mg
Can you please share your findings and whether you do decide to take it after all?

Re: Michael (# 11)
I am in excellent health. I don't take any prescription meds at age 55. But since I play ice hockey I decided to act on an ad I saw for advanced instaflex. I've noticed I've been getting PVC's a lot especially sitting down and I was thinking why? Other than an occasional Claritin I take nothing. Then I googled it and saw your message. How long after you stopped did they go away? Blessings.

Re: Charlotte (# 5)
I believe that this product put me in the hospital twice. The first time my heart went into supra-ventricular tachycardia (SVT) and a few days later a return to the ER for Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs). My recommendation is"DO NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT!".
