Flexpower

Flex-power is a topical analgesic cream that is intended to relieve muscle and joint pain associated with arthritis, backaches, knee pain, shoulder pain, tendinitis, strains, sprains, and bruises. Initially created for professional athletes to enhance performance, it is promoted as a daily topical pain relief cream. Its producers also claim that the product can be used as a pre-activity cream that loosens muscles and joints, and a post-activity cream that alleviates body aches. Flex-power's characteristics include a non-offensive medicinal smell, gradual heating sensation and its use of nanotechnology.[1][2]

Background

Flex-power was founded in 2001 by Bejan Esmaili and Rasheen Smith, athletes who disliked the smell of existing sports-related pain relief products. They received guidance from PowerBar founder, Brian Maxwell and hired scientists who developed the Flexpower formula within a year.[3]

The company indicates that liposome nanotechnology is used in Flex-power to embed the active ingredients in tiny particles for delivery through the skin.[4]

Recent Developments

On April 9, 2014, the Nevada Secretary of State re-instated MonArc Corp. (OTCBB: MONA) as a registered corporation in that state. The reinstatement form submitted in Nevada listed the officers of MonArc Corp. as Rasheen Smith and Bejan Esmaili.[5] The address provided on the corporate reinstatement form for Smith and Esmaili was 823, Gilman Street, Berkeley, CA 94710. This is identical to the address listed on FlexPower's web page, leading some to speculate that FlexPower may be going public through a merger with Monarc.[6] [7] [8] On April 21, 2014, an Amendment form and a Stock Split form were filed with the Nevada Secretary of State, changing the name of the business entity known as MonArc Corp. to "FlexPower, Inc." and altering the share structure.[9] To date, the company has not released an official statement.
