- Classic Chinese formula (Shujin San),
traditionally used to support muscles, bones and circulation.
- Widely used in Asia by athletes, martial

- Supports normal flexibility of muscles and

If one is at all active, muscle and joint
health becomes an increasing issue in everyday life - especially as we age. Now
ancient Chinese wisdom may help offset the ravages of physical stress and time
on our muscles and joints. Combining modern convenience with herbal tradition,
Planetary Formulas has made accessible one of the most classic joint and tissue
flexibility support formulas used in the world today. Introducing: Planetary
Formulas Flex-Ability™, a classic, time-tested Chinese herbal formula now
available in convenient tablet and liquid extract form.
The Flex-Ability™ formula is known in China as Shu Jin San. It was
originally created by herbalists to enhance circulation to joint and muscle
tissue areas. The formula evolved for the purpose of causing an abundance of
nutrient-rich fluids to move into these areas, nourishing the tissues. Although
traditionally used to support normal joint and muscle flexibility, today it is
widely used in Asia either before or after strenuous hard work or exercise,
often by practitioners of the martial arts and by the elderly. Originally
created as a powder, Flex-Ability™ was more recently developed as
convenient tablets and tincture.
According to traditional Chinese herbalism, the herbs in Flex-Ability™
provide support to the bones and tendons. Flex-Ability™ combines
achyranthes root, teasel root and Angelica pubescens root, with an additional
blend of gambir twigs, chaenomeles fruit, ligusticum rhizome, tien chi ginseng
root, angelica root, siler root, lycii fruit, notopterygii root and dong quai
root.
The body's joint flexibility can be further supported by regular exercise and a
proper diet. Many natural health care experts recommend that consumption of
highly acidic foods such as tomatoes, peppers, oranges, eggplant, caffeine,
chocolate, and white flour or sugar products should be minimized.
