BioFlexor®
Deep Penetrating
Effective Pain Relief Gel
Description: BioFlexor® gel is an OTC topical analgesic preparation which delivers deep penetrating, effective pain relief. BioFlexor® is a unique product from several viewpoints. In developing BioFlexor®, our main focus was to formulate a potent topical analgesic agent that would minimize the need for oral narcotic analgesics. The result is an exceptional product that truly helps those individuals suffering from the pain associated with the spectrum of medical conditions from arthritis to muscle aches and pain, simple back aches, strains, bruises, and sprains. Menthol is the only listed active ingredient on the BioFlexor® label. The other all natural components work synergistically to produce the pain relieving activity. Another unique aspect of BioFlexor® relates to the immediate and long-lasting pain relief without the side effects of lingering scent (Methyl Salicylate rubs, ie. Ben Gay), burning sensation (Capsaicin ie. Zostrix, Theragesic, Icy-Hot), greasy residue (ie. Aspercreme, Ben-Gay), and dry skin (alcohol formulations, ie. Biofreeze). The BioFlexor® formulation contains no alcohol, capsaicin, or methyl salicylate.
Mechanism of Action: The initial pain relief mechanism produced by the absorption of BioFlexor® generates a topical cooling effect. This is a result of vasoconstriction of peripheral vessels in the affected areas, yielding a decreased blood flow. This action causes a decrease in temperature of the skin and subcutaneous tissues. As penetration continues, an interruption of sympathetic nerve conduction occurs, producing a warm vasodilation. This in turn increases the blood flow to muscle tissues and to the surface of the skin, promoting the healing process and rendering analgesic properties. BioFlexor® gel is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to menthol.
