I recently read about these ponds, but it’s time for a change to work on action, not just theory. Probably the most popular joint filler is 4Flex – advertising, internet – I’ve read about it everywhere. But is a large advertising campaign a guarantee of effectiveness? I had to find out. Although they do not write anywhere that this preparation will help with joint pain (I have read their side along and across), it is supposed to support joints and have a beneficial effect on the whole locomotive system. Well, maybe that’s enough.

4Flex – promises in advertising and sad truth.

4Flex has several preparation options – including for athletes and the elderly. I chose one that was probably enriched with extra vitamins and minerals – 4Flex Select. In a single package there are 30 sachets containing 7 g of collagen hydrolysate each. Use one sachet a day, simply dissolving the powder in water. For appropriate effects, it is necessary to apply the preparation at least 3 months. In a community pharmacy I paid 70 zlotys with some pennies for one package.

I’ve been drinking these “orange scented soda” – the taste is strange, you have to get used to it. But what aren’t you doing to get rid of the pain?

Unfortunately, in the last 3 months I haven’t noticed much difference in my knees. I ate healthier, almost gave up candy, so I managed to lose 7 kilos. In addition, I went for walks and swimming (swimming is the least burdensome for joints). So their knees have less to lift and their mobility should improve as I move more, but at the same time I try not to strain them. 4Flex was supposed to support them additionally, but I don’t feel any difference. I still feel pain in my knees. I know that I still have a long way to go to get a healthy figure, but it’s hard to fight for it when I’m still in pain…. The only thing I noticed was the improvement in the condition of the skin and probably the better condition of the hair. However, collagen somehow affected my appearance. But I didn’t take it for that purpose! I don’t know, maybe these sachets will work for people who have problems with their joints other than me or for older people who have age-related problems? They didn’t have the expected effect on me.

Flexin 500 – honey for my… joints?

So I kept looking. If collagen couldn’t handle it, I tried glucosamine – it’s also often mentioned as an aid to joint pain relief. I came across many positive opinions about Flexin500. It contains glucosamine, but not only – it also has ingredients that rebuild joint cartilage and simply relieve pain. That’s what I needed!

We can’t get Flexin500 in a stationary pharmacy, but we have to order online – but directly from the manufacturer. On his website: Flexin500.pl there are always some promotions, so you can buy it very favourably. I came across the possibility of buying six packages for the price of three! I paid 259 PLN and I had a free delivery. Flexin500 are tablets that you need to take 3 times a day during a meal with plenty of water. I put them in my kitchen in a visible place to always remember and in total I managed to do it almost every time 😉

The manufacturer promises effects – that is, pain reduction – after just a few days. It took me a week and a half, but I finally felt relieved! It’s amazing, I went for a much longer walk than usual and after coming back after a few hours I realized that I didn’t need to lie down and rest! It’s amazing how easy it is to forget pain! This obvious effect of Flexin 500 did not make me stop taking it because it “already helped me”. On the contrary – I was all the more urgent in taking the pills, because I already knew that my joints would only thank me for that. I added one more training at the pool in a week, and slowly started to switch from walking to walking and walking. And the knees were still “silent”!

Today, 3 months of application have passed. Flexin00I’m another eight kilos thinner and happier than ever in my life. I took up a fight for my health and I win it every day. I owe it mainly to myself, but I will not hide the fact that flexin made it easier for me. Or did he… make it possible? 😉

I’ve never been a particularly thin person. Even as a child I was quite plump and round. In my family, unfortunately, everyone is overweight, and in the kitchen you can constantly smell the smell of fresh cake or delicious home-made pizza. These things don’t go to pieces at my place, they go to metal sheets! However, my round cheeks were more of affectionate to my parents than a fear that their child might have problems in the future. Now that I’m five feet tall and six feet tall, I weigh…. Much too much, they don’t feel sorry for me anymore, but they don’t see the problem either. They believe in the principle that it is better to be bigger and full than skinny and hungry. They don’t believe in half-measures. They don’t trust slim, happy people – they say that they lose weight and deny themselves any delicacies. As if food was the most important thing in the world. Continue reading →

The color of my teeth didn’t always bother me. In fact, it’s been a burning problem since I’ve painted my hair blonde. The warm, straw-coloured colour fits my skin very well (much more than my natural brown) and after this metamorphosis I met many compliments. I knew it was a good decision and I didn’t want to go back to natural hair anymore. But recently, when I started to look at my photos in a new color, I discovered with horror that the shade of my teeth does not differ significantly from the color I have on my head! I panicked and began to wonder if it was a question of the right light, if everyone had noticed it before, but I was the only one who stayed in this terrible unconscious. I’ve got an incredible complex. I laugh noticeably less now, and if I do, I try to cover my mouth. I’ve never even thought about my teeth before. I was lucky not to have to wear any braces like many of my peers because my teeth are straight and even. But how could I not pay attention to their color? I went back to the photos from a few years ago. I had a full, honest, truly “American” smile on every one of them. And, strangely enough, I haven’t seen a yellowish tint. Is it really my new blonde that’s so conquering the colour of my teeth?
I decided to do what every normal person does in the situation of problems and ambiguities in life – I started to browse the Internet! I quickly realized what my problem might be. Unfortunately, I am an admirer of tea and coffee. All kinds of things! I hardly ever part with my favorite cup during the day.

As it turns out – coffee, tea or even red wine (I am not hiding that I also like to drink a light for dinner) – they cause discoloration on teeth. The output colour can change by up to a few shades! It is true that good hygiene prevents this, but looking back, did I really take care of their hygiene in the right way? Sure, I brush my teeth twice a day – sometimes even more often. But does it actually last for at least two minutes? I don’t think so… You won’t find dental floss in my bathroom either… Not to mention mouthwash. Unfortunately, my negligence is visible to the naked eye.

Now the situation has become even more urgent, because finally, after a year of engagement, we finally managed to set the date of the wedding together with the fiancé. Six months from now! That’s a lot of time on one side. On the other hand, will I be able to find the right way or means in this period? Maybe you have something to recommend?

I started smoking somehow in college – first for company at parties, then to kill stress before exams. And that’s how it stayed – for years to come. A pack a day, a day starting with coffee and a cigarette and so on…
Now that I have finally managed to deal with the addiction successfully, I am starting to fight its effects – I can see that my wrinkles are deeper than those of my peers, my skin has an unhealthy color, and this plaque on my teeth…
I think I’ve scoured the whole Internet in search of effective remedies, treatments, supplements… Of course, one way to get white teeth whitened is at the dentist’s – very expensive. At the same time, however, I encountered stories of people who deal with discolourations after smoking with products bought in pharmacies or on the Internet. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t – you know, you just have to find a good quality supplement.
Still, I started by going to the dentist. I have an appointment to get a picture of the tartar. It cost me 50 € and I won’t say, I see the effect. But in fact, this is only the first step towards truly white teeth. If we have a serious problem with discoloration, other actions, not preceded by a photo of the stone, will not give us anything.
What’s next? I started to read in different “home” ways. Maybe something can be improved without expensive bleaching in the office or using preparations?
Internet users describe whitening… with salt! Yes, salt! However, I only read about it on one page, and ten others warned me about it – that you can hurt your gums.
Any other specifics from the kitchen cupboard? Bleached soda – although it has a whitening effect and can be added to toothpaste once in a while, but unfortunately the high concentration of soda also has a negative effect on our enamel. If we exaggerate, we weaken them and make them even more susceptible to discoloration.
Next method: bleaching with lemon juice. Doubtful effect and even worse side effects: damage to enamel and demineralization, which leads to tooth sensitivity.
As you can see, the Internet is a breeding ground for ideas, but also almost unanimously refutes all of them. It turns out you have to look for something in a pharmacy or drugstore? I already have a few types from Internet forums, but maybe you recommend something?

First test – Tabex

When I decided to quit smoking, I automatically (probably like everyone else in my situation) started to absorb articles about measures that could be helpful. I also read the comments. In many speeches, the tablets called Tabex were scrolling. Opinions about this preparation were divided (mostly positive), so I found that there is no point in thinking about it any longer, but you have to try it yourself.

Already after 2-3 days of using Tabex, I noticed that I reach for a cigarette less often. The urge to inflammation hasn’t been as strong as before. After about two weeks I drove off significantly with the number of smokes burned. Gradually I started to stop Tabex and here unfortunately the problem started to appear – I started to increase the number of cigarettes again. It happened somehow automatically, I had no control over it, I just wanted to burn again and again.

When I completely gave up the Tabex, I smoked over a packet a day again. What’s the conclusion of that? In my case, unfortunately, the Tabex proved to be ineffective. The fact that I managed to significantly reduce smoking while using it, but in the end it is difficult to talk about the effectiveness of the preparation if after the treatment the addiction returns like a boomerang.

Second test – Nicorix

Nicorix is a new product on the Polish market. I found out about him, as in the case of the Tabex, from the Internet. I was immediately struck by a wave of positive comments about him. I thought probably all those positive opinions about Nicorix tablets came from people who still take them, but in fact it’s similar to Tabex – after stopping the drug, the irresistible desire for a cigarette comes back. And yet I decided to try it out – still my life goal was not to smoke. From the information about the composition I learned that it is a multi-component product and that it works differently than the one-component Tabex. I thought maybe this time it might work out…

Nicorix’s treatment turned out to be a success. The initial action was similar to that of the Tabex – less and less frequently a desire to light a cigarette, and thus to reduce the number of smoked cigarettes. However, I also felt a significant improvement in my mood, which I did not notice in the case of Tabex. I had a lot more energy, and besides, I felt as if a lot of toxins were coming out of my body, which accumulated over the years of smoking. It was an amazing feeling.

In time, I stopped smoking at all. I felt purified, fresh, full of vigour. The sensations of taste and smell have also improved – these senses were previously suppressed by smoking. It may sound exaggerated, but I’ve got some new life energy in me. The gym started to give me great pleasure, my condition improved and my cough gave way. I was afraid to give up Nicorix, I was afraid the addiction would come back. But he didn’t come back! I don’t even feel like a cigarette. I haven’t taken my pills in two weeks and still haven’t smoked a single cigarette.
