Hyaluronic acid is a lubricant found in humans\u2019 synovial fluid that helps joints, cartilage, and bones all work together pain free. Clinical studies are still determining its effectiveness, though there do not seem to be any major side effects associated with hyaluronic acid. It does come with these consumer warnings, however:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>There is a risk of allergic reaction to any product that contains hyaluronic acid.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><em>There have been some medicinal interactions and those taking prescription blood thinners or heart medication should consult with their physician before use.<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>It is recommended that pregnant or nursing women avoid hyaluronic acid.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Glucosamine Hydrochloride: <\/strong>Also a common additive for joint health supplements, glucosamine is known to stimulate the body\u2019s natural cartilage and synovial fluid manufacturing and repair. Glucosamine is frequently used to combat arthritic conditions and has been shown to aid in overall health and immune functionality. There are few side effects associated with glucosamine, the most serious of which is a potential allergic reaction (though those cases are rare)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium: <\/strong>Another one of the more basic additives in joint health products. Usually derived from sharks or cows, chondroitin is used to combat a number of ailments including osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, and heart disease because of its ability to help stimulate the body\u2019s natural collagen production abilities. There are very few known side effects connected to glucosamine consumption, though potential allergic reaction is possible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MSM:<\/strong> The last main active ingredient listed by GNC for their product is another one of the most-used ingredients in leading joint health supplements. Dimethyl Sulfone is derived from green plants and used in a variety of over the counter treatments for conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and lowered immune functionality.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108458 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9490.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"602\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9490.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9490-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9490-768x462.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our panel of experts has created a list of the top quality joint health supplements available to consumers over the counter. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">To see their updated list of products, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<h5><strong>Tri-Flex GNC<\/strong><strong> Quality of Ingredients<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-108459\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9492.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9492.jpg 588w, https:\/\/dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/IMG_9492-176x300.jpg 176w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Individually, there is nothing wrong with the ingredients of <strong>Tri-Flex GNC<\/strong>. They are all included on the list of most frequent additives for reputable joint health supplements and have been shown to be highly beneficial for both long- and short-term joint health. Chondroitin and glucosamine especially are found in nearly every effective joint health product because they actually help improve the body\u2019s ability to produce collagen and synovial fluid on its own as opposed to merely treating the symptoms or masking the pain of joint issues, as many other supplements do.<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s also the problem with Tri-Flex: every OTC joint supplement on the market that\u2019s at all effective <em>should<\/em> be utilizing all four of these ingredients &#8211; and hopefully several more, too. There is nothing in GNC Tri-Flex that would set it apart from any other halfway decent brand available today<\/p>\n<p>Boswellia extract, boron, and bromelian have all been shown to work well in conjunction with glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, increasing the overall effectiveness of any given supplement. GNC has not chosen to include any of those chemicals in their mix.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/best-joint-pain-supplements\/\">For a list of the safest and most effective joint health supplements, click here.<\/a><\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Price and Quality of <\/strong><strong>Tri-Flex GNC<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>GNC sells <strong>Tri-Flex GNC<\/strong> through their website and through their terrestrial locations as well.
