Flex (MLT)
CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
- Atrophy and wasting of muscles, ligaments, and tendons
- Cartilage damage from chronic wear and tear
- Decreased range of motion and mobility of the joints
- Rehabilitation from chronic or late-stage of musculoskeletal injuries
- Prevention against wear and tear or breakdown of cartilage and soft tissue surrounding joints
- Individuals engaging in repetitive motions who wish to maintain healthy joints and connective tissue
WESTERN THERAPEUTIC ACTIONS
- Chondroprotective effect to protect cartilage
- Osteogenic and antiosteoporosis functions to promote the generation of bones
- Neurogenerative effect of facilitating the healing of nerves and neurons
- Adaptogen effect of facilitating rehabilitation
- Analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and muscle-relaxant effects

- Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis)
- Dang Shen (Radix Codonopsis)

FORMULA EXPLANATION
Flex (MLT) is explicitly designed to treat chronic or mid-to-late stages of musculoskeletal injuries, with atrophy of the soft tissues (muscles, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage), decreased mobility of the joints, cartilage degeneration, and generalized weakness and pain. This formula contains herbs to tonify blood, activate blood circulation, nourish yin, and dispel wind-damp.
In this formula, many herbs are used to tonify the underlying deficiencies. Dang Shen (Radix Codonopsis) tonifies qi. Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Di Huang (Radix Rehmanniae), and Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) nourish blood and yin. Healthy joints depend on healthy surrounding cartilage and soft tissue. Because there is no blood supply to the cartilage, it gets nutrition and oxygen from the surrounding joint fluids. Therefore, the adequate blood supply to the surrounding areas of the cartilage will ensure a healthy joint. Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) tonifies blood and promotes blood circulation to generate new tissues. Chuan Niu Xi (Radix Cyathulae) tonifies the Liver and Kidney, strengthen tendons and bones, and helps Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) move blood. Together, they stimulate soft tissue (tendons, ligaments, and cartilage) growth and restoration. Furthermore, Wu Jia Pi (Cortex Acanthopanacis), Qian Nian Jian (Rhizoma Homalomenae), and Xu Duan (Radix Dipsaci) dispel wind-damp, strengthen bones and tendons, and relieve pain. Chu Shi Zi (Fructus Broussonetiae) and Zhi He Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori Praeparata) tonify the Liver and Kidney to strengthen muscles, tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. The yin tonics of this formula, Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba), Zhi He Shou Wu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori Praeparata), and Chuan Niu Xi (Radix Cyathulae), prevent the narrowing of the space between joints, especially in the vertebrae or the knee joint due to degeneration.
In summary, Flex (MLT) supports connective tissues around the joints. It contains herbs that tonify the underlying deficiencies and facilitates healing and recovery. It treats chronic or mid-to-late stages of musculoskeletal injuries with soft tissue degeneration as it encourages repair and restoration.

BACKGROUND
Musculoskeletal and connective tissue injuries lead to over 10 million clinic visits annually in the United States.[1] Causes of these injuries may be external (sports injuries, car accidents, trauma), internal (chronic wear and tear of muscles, ligaments, and tendons; bones weakened by osteoporosis), or both. Acute injuries are characterized by severe pain, swelling and inflammation, and sometimes internal bleeding. Treatment of acute injuries should focus on relieving pain, reducing swelling and inflammation, and stopping bleeding. Chronic injuries are dull pain, stiffness and numbness, and decreased muscle mass and strength. Treatments for chronic injuries include pain relief and restoration of physical and physiological functions.
