Jacked Factory is a US-based supplements company that focuses mainly on bodybuilder products rather than general health. Despite being fairly well known with supplements available on Amazon, the company provides no information regarding a real location or even a telephone number. Customers can only contact Jacked Factory via Facebook messenger or email.
Flex-XT Joint Support is advertised as a sports supplement to help improve joint and cartilage issues, but it seems that many customers are using this as a support to medical conditions such as osteoarthritis and carpal tunnel syndrome. It is important to remember that supplements are not intended to treat medical conditions, so if you have one of these or have sustained a sports injury, you should visit your doctor before self-medicating.
Taking a supplement like this to remove the pain of your workout regime is like putting the horse before the cart. If your workouts are causing you pain, you should change your regime rather than trusting that this supplement to clear up the damage.
Customers have not mentioned any side effects which is good. However looking through the ingredients list and there are a couple of risks. Boswellia may cause diarrhoea, nausea, acid reflux, increased menstrual flow, miscarriage, and skin rash.
Turmeric is safe at the quantities per serving here, though can cause a range of side effects including increased heart rate and blood pressure at servings over 1500mg a day. It is possible if you are especially sensitive you may notice these effects.
Flex-XT Joint Support is not very expensive. Buy from the Jacked Factory website and it costs $24.99 for a bottle of 30 capsules. If you use only one a day this is the equivalent of one month’s supply. However with the advice to take 2 capsules daily if required, you may find your supply lasts only 2 weeks.
You can also buy Flex-XT Joint Support via Amazon where it is on sale from various sellers for as little as $12.99.
Jack Factory Flex-XT Joint Support seems a little hard to prove. You may find that taking this supplement over a few weeks because you have a temporary sports injury may give you the impression that it works because swelling goes down and pain is eased. However, you may also find that resting and just giving the body time to recover gives the same results.
Some people are using Flex-XT Joint Support as a remedy for real medical conditions. It is important to remember that supplements like this are unproven and not supposed to target real medical conditions. If you think you have a real sports injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, or any other condition, you should take the advice from your doctor. Herbal supplements may ease the pain but in most cases, including arthritis, research has found that prescription medication and gels are more effective. Even if you want to go down the herbal route, getting some advice from a trained professional is better than self-medicating with this particular supplement.
Overall, we do not approve Jacked Factory Flex-XT Joint Support to the Watchdog readers.
Flex-XT Joint Support is a supplement aimed at athletes and bodybuilders looking to improve joint pain derived from overtraining or injury. It is in capsule form rather than a cream or gel, and we do advise caution if you are taking this supplement in order to continue with a strenuous exercise regime.
Herbal supplements like this one are not designed to replace medical advice and could lead to further damage. The best thing to do if you have suffered an injury is to take trained advice and rest, and to wait until you fully recover.
Flex-XT Joint Support contains five ingredients predominantly derived from herbal sources. The principle of these is turmeric. High in antioxidants, turmeric has been tested as an anti-inflammatory and may be effective at treating joint swelling, pain, and arthritis.
Flex-XT Joint Support also contains a herbal extract called Boswellia, which is a trademarked substance from Sabinsa a well-known corporation in the supplements world. Boswellia is an extract from a tree called Boswellia Serrata (Indian Frankincense) and research suggests it improves joint mobility and circulation to joints. A combination of Turmeric (Curcumin) and Boswellia is becoming increasingly popular in supplements aimed at improving arthritis.
In addition, there is a branded supplement called FruiteX B which increases Boron in the body supposedly for fast-acting joint support. There is Hyaluronic acid, a substance present in the human body that protects the joints from damage. It is also present in the eyes.
The final component is Bioperine, a branded black pepper supplement that may enhance bioavailability of the other ingredients. Check out the ingredients list for more information.
We have covered Jacked Factory supplements in previous reviews including Jacked Factory ALTIUD. We have also reviewed Jacked Factory NitroSurge, and extreme fat burner Jacked Factory Burn XT.
According to the product information, the key features are as follows:
The advertising describes Flex-XT Joint Support as a “premium-grade joint health supplement featuring research-backed doses of patented ingredients that are proven to strengthen your joints and soft tissues (such as muscle and bone).”
It seems as if you should take this supplement as a preventative rather than a cure,
“Just one dose of Flex-XT per day gives you key ingredients for total joint support, anti-inflammatory benefits, and pain relief.
Let’s face it: You’re not going to be performing optimally when your joints, bones, cartilage, tendons, and other soft tissues are constantly in pain.”
It might have some effect, but the serving size seems low when compared to the clinical research carried out on the ingredients. However, there is some evidence that the ingredients may help improve knee conditions such as osteoarthritis. Boswellia seems to be effective at reducing all types of inflammation, so sports injuries certainly come into this category too.
Jacked Factory Flex-XT Joint Support may help improve joint health generally, but we would be cautious about using this if you are injured and are looking for a way to train through the pain. Do this and you could make your injury much worse, whereas good old fashioned rest will certainly give better results.
It is important to remember that supplements are not to be used in the place of medical treatment, and this one will cause drug interactions with prescription medication.
Serving size is equal to one capsule.
Customers have not mentioned any side effects which is good. However, looking through the ingredients list and there are a couple of risks.
Boswellia may cause:
Turmeric is safe at the quantities per serving here, though can cause a range of side effects including increased heart rate and blood pressure at servings over 1500mg a day. It is possible if you are especially sensitive you may notice these effects.
Caution:
Not suitable for individuals under 18. Avoid if you are pregnant, breast feeding or trying to conceive. The supplement will interact with prescription medication including blood thinners such as Warfarin as well as ibuprofen, aspirin and non steroidal anti inflammatory drugs. Speak to your doctor before use if you are taken prescription medication or have an underlying health condition. Take medical advice if you have a sports injury or swelling rather than look to OTC supplements.
There are customer reviews on Amazon but according to our scam software, some of these may not be genuine.
We took a search through the comments and found some genuine looking customer reviews. It is interesting to note that very few of these customers seem to be athletes,
This product contains the supplements I need for reducing inflammation in my body and my joints. It doesn’t upset my stomach. So far it seems good. I look forward to seeing even better results the longer I take it.>
My aunt takes these every day she says they work exactly as expected thank you!
Great customer service, product seems to help alleviate the pain but I am still in the beginning stage so time will tell although at the stage I am at with my pain any help is greatly appreciated.
Not everyone is impressed.
One customer used it to alleviate carpal tunnel syndrome. This medical condition can be easily remedied by a simple operation but perhaps this US-based customer could not afford proper medical care so looked instead to this OTC supplement.
Severe carpal-tunnel is a pain. Just started my second bottle and I’m beginning to feel some improvement. I may also have some increased flexibility, but the jury is still out.
This customer felt it was overpriced and ineffective,
Buyer beware! This product is deceptively labelled. It reads: “Serving Size: 1 Capsule” followed by “Servings per Container: 30.” However, the directions instruct you to take one capsule followed by another capsule eight hours later.
At two capsules a day instead of one, you’ll blow through a bottle in 15 days, not 30. For the price, this isn’t worth a mere two-week supply. Perhaps if it worked better, but I barely noticed any results. Very overpriced and ineffective for 15 day’s worth of product.
According to the advertising, there is a 100% money-back guarantee. The company states that if for any reason at all you aren’t satisfied, simply send it back within 30 days for a full refund.
However, there are no further details and the guarantee policy is not mentioned in the terms and conditions. With only Facebook messenger or email as a way to contact the company, you will have to trust that they will get back to you in time to return the product within the 30 days deadline
You can buy Jacked Factory Flex-XT Joint Support from the Jacked Factory website. It is also on sale via Amazon, as well as advertised on Facebook and via affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is where a website advertises a product and gets a fee for leading potential customers to buy.
