FLEXIMOBIL® ICE has a complex and complete composition that contains both principles that act on the symptoms (quickly fight pain and improve mobility), but also on the triggering causes (for example, oxidative stress).
The effect is installed immediately after application.
FLEXIMOBIL® ICE produces an intense and pleasant cooling effect.
FLEXIMOBIL ICE, gel is a topical preparation recommended for relieving muscle and joint pain of rheumatic or traumatic origin.
It calms the inflammation and edema associated with rheumatic diseases or traumas;
Alleviates muscle tension;
It supports muscle recovery after physical exercises or intense physical effort.

More details about the ingredients
The harpagosides from the devil's claw extract act through a mechanism similar to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs by inhibiting COX-2, but also through other additional mechanisms that prevent the proliferation of the oxidative process and block cartilage degradation. Harpagosides, through the complex anti-inflammatory mechanism, calm the pain, but also act as chondroprotectors. The action of the standardized extract of Harpagophytum procumbens proved to be similar to that of the latest generation anti-inflammatories from the class of coxibs, but without their adverse effects.
The arnica extract contains a complex of active principles that, through its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, act synergistically with the devil's claw harpagosides, preventing the destruction of cartilage and effectively soothing joint pain. Clinical studies demonstrate the beneficial effect in osteoarthritis, by increasing the mobility of the joints, especially in the morning when waking up, when the patient has difficulty getting out of bed due to stiffness and pain. Moreover, arnica extract also acts on soft tissues, reducing edema and ecchymoses (bruises) from trauma.
Peppermint oil and menthol , applied topically, act as an analgesic through a revulsive mechanism, that is, they produce a slight "irritation" on the skin, thus preventing the transmission of the pain signal to the brain. This mechanism is called "inhibitory gate control" and is explained as follows: pain is transmitted to the brain through two types of fibers - A-delta fibers (responsible for transmitting acute, short-term pain, such as the "irritation" produced by peppermint oil) and C fibers (which transmit chronic pain, such as that from rheumatic diseases). When the A-delta fibers are activated, the C fibers are blocked. Topical application of peppermint oil/menthol activates A-delta fibers, thus blocking C fibers and, therefore, inhibits chronic pain from rheumatic diseases.
Also, peppermint oil and menthol produce a cooling effect, similar to topically applied ice, relieving edema, ecchymosis and muscle pain from trauma.
Adults and children over 12 years: FLEXIMOBIL ICE, gel is applied 2-3 times a day to the painful area.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding: FLEXIMOBIL ICE, gel is not recommended to be used during pregnancy or breast-feeding, as there are insufficient data on the safety of use.
