I received my free trial. I wasn't aware I would be billed and on an automatic shipment per month. Is this correct? If so how do I go about cancelling? Thanks so much! -Nancy
Unless you cancel before the end of your trial period as specified above (within 18 days after placing your order), you will automatically be enrolled in our Auto-Ship program. We will ship your first 30-day supply of Instaflex at the end of your trial period, and you will be charged $69.99 plus $4.99 S&P and any applicable tax. Thereafter, you will continue to receive a fresh 30-day supply of Instaflex about every 30 days for as long as you stay a member of our auto-ship program. The card you provided when you ordered the trial product will be automatically charged $69.99 (plus $4.99 S&P and tax if applicable) when each new product ships. To cancel future shipments in the auto-ship program, you must call 1-800-436-0920 at least 1 day prior to the date that your next monthly delivery ships.
It is correct. I searched through the "terms and conditions" and found the information you need:

I am taking instaflex and my bottle says take one a day not 3. Can you tell me why -Charlotte
I checked my bottle and the website, and they both say the serving size is 3 capsules. I don't know why yours says it's one. You can contact their customer service at email address: support@instaflex.com or phone number: 1-800-436-0920.- Rob

The box and label clearly states 1 capsule daily, with or without food. Regular Instaflex is 3 capsules daily.
I will update at the end of the 14 days.

I am 65. Thank you and I hope to hear from you soon
Check out a supplement called Joint Advance. It’s the best joint supplement we’ve ever tested, and we’ve tested a bunch of them over the years. Here’s my review: https://www.supplementcritique.com/joint-advance-joint-relief-formula-review/
But I’m happy to see that you have hylauronic acid, termuric, and MSM, things that actually work. I’ve been disappointed with everything I’ve tried.
Haven’t ordered it yet, because nothing ever worked…but I’m glad you got rid of the some of the useless crap…like chondroitin..now get rid of glucosamin. The problems is, we need a theraputic dosage, and you guys just don’t have it…because of your limitations with witht FDA. And…last but not least…being automatically charged an insane amount after the sample is sent. People sometimes don’t read the fine print.
SupplementCritique.com is a review website. We don’t make or sell Instaflex.
But I appreciate your feedback. It’s helpful for our other readers.
Well, that’s a tough one. I think Instaflex is geared towards people with minor aches and pains, but it sounds like your on a different level.
You could try it, but I wouldn’t make any guarantees.
SupplementCritique.com is a review website. You’ll need to contact Instaflex directly to change your shipping address.
I am in great shape for my age due to raising two grand boys that play football and baseball . I am 6’2” tall and weigh 198 lbs .
I have some knee problems and thumb joint problems and have already had both thumb joints replaced 6 years ago and my right hip joint replaced 11 years ago . With e playing college football for WV Mountaineers , motor cross racing and being a mechanical engineer climbing around on big product equipment at a Toyota Automtive plant for 35 years inspecting robotic production equipment .
But I retired 9 months ago to build drag racing cars as a hobby . Will Instaflex help lower back problems .
The pain is not serious , according to my doctor ; unfortunately , it hurts pretty bad if I have to stand ” say ” for an hour or longer or lift something heavy the wrong way !
Looking forward to you reply !!!
Thanks , Paul
First let me say that SupplementCritique.com is a review website. We don’t have any affiliation with Instaflex.
That said, we’ve found it to be a mixed back. Some people say it works great, while others don’t get any relief from it at all.
As for back pain specifically, it’s sort of the same thing. Some people get lower back pain relief by using joint supplements.
Others get no relief at all.

Beware the free sample that you pay only 4.99 shipping triggers a order which was not received or ordered. When I called after discovered the charge I was informed it is on its way and I was charged since I did not call when I ordered the FREE sample.
If I receive it and send it back they need me to call back and tell them and the will possibly refund my money for something I did not or receive.
Which product to choose??
I haven’t tested the Advanced version yet, so I can’t say for sure. What I would do is give the original version a shot first.
If that doesn’t seem to work for you than move up to the advanced version.

How much does Joint Advance cost?
Thanks!
Give Instaflex a call to cancel the autoshipment. Their customer service number is 800.436.0920. A one month supply of Joint Advance is $39.95, though you can get it cheaper if you buy multiple bottles at once.

Do I need to cancel the order before the 2 weeks or get charged for more?
Yep. You basically have 2 weeks to try it, and if you don’t call to cancel they will charge the credit card you used to pay for shipping the full price for the supplement.

Wow. I tried it for my knee, but it has helped with my arthritis.
How does that work. But one thing I noticed is that I have gained 3 pounds this week.Does it make me gain weight also?
I’m glad it’s working for you. There is some anecdotal evidence that glucosamine (which is in Instaflex) can cause bloating and weight gain, so yes, it’s probably related.
You may need to adjust your diet and/or exercise to compensate.

I’m not seeing where they say it’s been studied at a major university.

Interested to see your reply.
I’m not sure where you’re seeing that it causes drowsiness. The recommended dosage is 1 pill taken 3 times a day.

I have extremely painful osteoarthritis in both shoulders, & others can hear the grinding in my left shoulder when I move it in certain ways. I’d give just about anything to significantly alleviate the pain (I take glucosamine & chondroitin daily, occasionally take acetaminophen, but am leery about damaging my liver.
Heat also helps quite a lot, as does limiting the way I use my shoulders…) Would Instaflex help me – safely? Thanks for listening!
It can work for your shoulder as well as for any other joint. But it seems to be the case that Instaflex works really well for some people and not at all for others.
Hopefully, you’ll belong to the first group.

Can anybody answer me please?
I would love to try it.
Whenever you’re taking prescription medication, it’s recommended that you check with your doctor before taking supplements.

I am not using this product . I have seen too many reviews that has me discouraged from using it including my doctor.
I am a diabetic and have osteoarthritis with very much pain. I am
within the period of canceling Instaflex.and you can consider it cancelled right now..
You sent another bottle and the trial was not even over yet. This is not fair.
I have already spoken to my credit card company about charging any more to my account… Since you have sent me another bottle I will send it immediately back to you. Please do not send me any more INSTAFLEX.
Thank you!.

I plan on looking more into it. Thanks everyone for the input.

It didn’t work for me.
I don’t see anything in the ingredient list that would cause problems, but I would suggest you talk to your doctor before taking it. He would know if there are any contraindications with your condition or any medications you’re taking.

This is by far the biggest complaint people have. These companies need to stop this unethical practice.
I want instaflex joint support for mother who is having rheumatic arthritis.
How can i get this india?

I definitely recommend the product; probably cheaper to buy at GNC instead of doing the auto order though
But from some of the above comments I think people need to use common sense and realize:
1. Not every product works for every person.
2. Do your research
3. Don’t be so foolish as to buy something without reading all the information on the website. It states CLEARLY you will be charged 4.99 for the 2 week ‘free trial’ and 69.99 plus 4.99 shipping will be automatically charged every month.
These people who enter their credit card information then complain they didn’t read the fine print strike me as seriously missing something in simple word comprehension.
I started the trial a while back and simply forgot about it. I probably tried it on the first day, single pills spread out.
Didn’t notice any difference yet.
Before I knew it, I received 2 additional bottles in the mail, 1 month at a time. I decided to call and cancel since I haven’t been using the product.
I did explain this to the fellow.
He offered to refund me $20 per bottle and hold off additional shipments for 3 months to give me a chance to catch up and advised that I could pop all 3 pills at once in the AM. (Probably the reason why I forgot about the product because I tried to take them throughout the day).
CS seems to be excellent. I started again today.
In fact the above mentioned call was this morning and right before I searched for reviews and came across this page. Lol
As to my background, I’m compete in Olympic style Taekwondo and also train in Hapkido.
My 2nd degree testing for both is in April so the training intensity has increased for the time being.
I’ve always had left knee and ankle issues when active. I wear a knee brace and ankle brace when sparring.
I probably doesn’t help that my techniques to be tested for Hapkido are sitting defense techniques where I’m basically bound at the feet and sitting in Indian position.
I should be able to notice if there are any signs of relief.
I just popped 3 pills as I’m typing and boy they smell interesting. Let’s see what happens.
Will be in touch. Good luck with your goals, everyone.
Sent me email confirmation, which I saved, just in case. I’ll let u know in 2 weeks how my knees fell.
I found your page as well, and it’s obviously NOT a paid endorsement, it doesn’t even sound like an endorsement, just an account of what one person tried, as he’s tried other products in the past.
Thanks to the info on this site, I won’t fall for the “free trial” and if I do decide to shell out the $50 at GNC (pun intended) then at least I won’t have to worry about cancelling the auto-ship mess with the company. I may just go back to using Osteo-Biflex though.
It seems to also work and isn’t quite as costly.
I have notice a bitter after taste in many foods I eat. Is this a possible side effect?
When I asked to get my money back, he just laughed saying I had surpassed 30 days.
I think this is a scam.
I will not get sucked into another of these scams.
If you don’t they will continue to charge you on a monthly basis, AS MUCH AS $70 A MONTH!"
I literally tell you to be careful about ordering these “free trials”, and your’e telling me this sounds like a paid endorsement….sighs….

You do not need to send back the trial for a refund if you are not satisfied. However if you don’t cancel within the 18 day trial period and are billed, you simply need to call us up and send it back for a refund.
Most of the people that you hear about that got “scammed” by us are people who simply DIDN’T READ THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS and weren’t aware of what ordering the trial actually entails, which is a simple two minute call before the 18 days is up if you don’t want to continue. I hope this cleared a few things up.
The rep confirmed shellfish was an ingredient and honored the promise to cancel future shipments. I suggest people check with there doctor as advised on the bottle.
I did not see a warning about allergies on the bottle. This might be somthing your company should add.
After reading all these comments, I believe that once again its success is based more on the placebo effect than anything else.
I believe it is only available in the US and Canada.

So far I am experiencing no relief from my symptoms and am unsure of what to do next other than to continue to lose weight and become more active.
These supplements all have, right on the label/advertisement:
These statements have not been evaluated by FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
This is the Congress’s way of enabling drugs to be sold that have neither been tested for efficacy or safety.
If a product is “not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease”, why would a thinking person spend (in some cases a lot of) money on it.
The reason is that hope is stronger than common sense.
Same reason folks that can’t afford them buy lottery tickets.
Except for the sluggish feeling I love the product! Is that sluggish or sleepy feeling normal???
Glucosamine, which is one of the main ingredients in Instaflex, can cause drowsiness in some people. While it doesn’t happen to everyone, you may be one of the unfortunate few.
Have you tried taking 2 capsules once a day? That may be able to help with the drowsiness and still provide relief.

The trial time was not enough. We cancelled the $70/month autoship seeing that the product is available in Canada @ GNC stores.
He’s been using a Herbalife product called Flex Support, and it has all the same heaving hitting ingredients in the same quantity for 2/3’s of the price of Instaflex. More often than not, good sound nutrition every day plays an important role in joint health.
Yeah I totally agree, they don’t give you nearly enough time to try it out and see if it works. Your best bet is to stick with the product you found, and for anyone interested in trying Instaflex I would suggest you just buy a bottle at GNC.

It worked for me, in fact it was like a miracle, it healed a cracked cartilage in one of my knees in about 1 year of taking these pills. Time passed and I ended up with a kidney stone and enlarged prostate problems.
Then by coincidence I read an article that this treatment was creating problems in the prostate. So I stopped.
My knee problem was not so serious, so I did not use the two pills for a few years now. This product has many new added products.
My gut feeling is that unless there is documented serious research to include all products added and investigate their interactivity, I will not even try something new and with so many unknown substances (to me).
Best of luck in your choice, this may indeed be something new, but I need more information on the research done.

I suffer major back, hip and knee injuries/problems.
I started with the 15 day sample of Instaflex.
Within three days of taking Instaflex I started getting cramps in my hands.
By the seventh day the cramps were all over my body. My Doctor told me to discontinue the Instaflex and by the third+ week the cramps were gone except for my hands.
By the fourth week the cramps subsided completely. after searching around I found other folks with the same complaint using Instaflex.
I located some six days ago online and even found it with free shipping from Fruit Advantage.
