Flexcin International, the makers of Flexcin with CM8™ joint inflammation supplement for people and FlexPet with CM8® joint supplement for dogs, conducted an online survey of roughly 500 men and women each and found that women outnumber men almost two to one in using the Internet for initial research on their aches and pains. 73.6 percent of all women in the survey said they use the Internet for initial research compared with 44.1 percent of men. All respondents were between the ages of 35 and 60 living throughout different parts of the country. The survey revealed that many women prefer the Internet for initial research because they've grown tired of the frustrations in trying to see their primary care physician. The majority of men said they aren't always sure how to describe the ailment when using the Internet for self-diagnosis.
