Flarin is the first and only over-the-counter (OTC) lipid formulated ibuprofen which helps relieve flaring joint pain and inflammation.

Flarin’s lipid formulation helps shield the stomach from damage². It has been clinically proven to be as effective as prescription strength ibuprofen (2400 mg) at reducing pain¹.

No other Ibuprofen has been proven to be more effective for joint pain¹.

Flarin is different from normal ibuprofen due to its patented lipid formulation.

Our complex manufacturing process heats lipids and ibuprofen together to create a unique patented formulation called Flarin.

Lipids are absorbed in the small intestine and used in other medicines to aid absorption. Flarin’s anti-inflammatory ingredient, ibuprofen, is dissolved in lipids and is designed to help shield the stomach from damage.²

It doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, joint pain can happen to anybody at any time and can make even the most simple daily tasks, like driving or going up the stairs, difficult.
