Flexcin International was founded by Tamer Elsafy in 1999.  It all started with his grandmother who was in a great deal of pain, rendering her mostly immobile and confined to her home.  Tamer, who had been manufacturing and marketing supplements for years prior, began researching possible joint pain solutions.

In his research, Tamer came across Harry Diehl and his discovery of Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8). Harry Diehl was a researcher at the NIH who had also looked into joint pain relief years earlier.  Dr. Diehl’s research led to the discovery of the natural compound CM8, which naturally occurs in mice and causes them to be immune to arthritis.

Ultimately, Dr. Diehl received three patents for Cetyl Myristoelate (US4049824A, CA23710641, and US5569676A).  Cetyl Myristoleate was also studied clinically and was found to be effective in the treatment of arthritis (Clinical studies can be found here).

Tamer found this research and knew that Cetyl Myristoleate could be the key to providing relief.  He subsequently worked with doctors and nutritional experts to create an all-natural formula utilizing CM8 as the main ingredient.  In 1999, Flexcin International was born.  Tamer gave it to his grandmother who saw fantastic results and was able to live an active lifestyle once again.

In the year 2000, Tamer officially founded Flexcin International in order to provide Flexcin to the general public.  Since then, Flexcin Internatonal has sold millions of bottles and helped countless people return to the active lifestyles they love.

Flexcin International helped some people so much that they started giving it to their aging pets who were experiencing joint pain. At that point, Tamer began looking into a formula specifically designed for pets.  Upon creation of a formula and finding that his Pomeranian “Tiny” was having great results and his arthritis symptoms diminished, Tamer introduced Flexpet publicly in 2005.  Subsequently, an additional formula for horses was developed Flexequine as well as a new formula designed for the serious athlete Flexicus.

Cetyl Myristoleate (CM8) is a naturally-occurring compound that is used for the treatment of arthritis and other joint pain issues.  In fact, it is the only compound that has a patent for the treatment of arthritis.  Discovered by a researcher at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), CM8 works as a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, and joint lubricant.  You can read more about CM8 here: CM8 and Flexpet.

CM8 is considered the key ingredient in Flexpet. It is what sets Flexpet apart from other supplements, and the reason it is more effective than typical glucosamine products.  Clinical studies of CM8 have also shown the product to be very effective in the treatment of arthritis and joint pain.
