Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM Advanced Triple Strength
Equate
Overview
This product contains a well-regarded combination of ingredients for joint health, with Glucosamine HCl, Chondroitin Sulfate, and MSM at effective dosages for some of their intended benefits. The addition of Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Manganese, Boron, Boswellia serrata extract, and Hyaluronic Acid further enhance its potential, but the absence of specific dosages for Chondroitin Sulfate and MSM within the proprietary blend, along with other ingredients, makes a complete assessment of their individual efficacy challenging. While Glucosamine HCl is well-dosed, the benefits from chondroitin and MSM may be limited due to the proprietary blend.
The Good
Provides a clinically relevant dose of Glucosamine HCl (1.5g).
Includes adequate doses of Vitamin D (2000 IU), Vitamin C (60mg), Manganese (2mg), and Boron (3mg) which support overall joint and bone health.
Boswellia Serrata extract (100mg) is included for its anti-inflammatory properties, though its exact potency for joint benefits would depend on AKBA standardization.
The Bad
Chondroitin Sulfate and Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) are listed within a proprietary blend, obscuring their exact dosages and limiting assessment of their individual efficacy.
Concerns for individuals with shellfish allergies due to glucosamine source.
The term "Triple Strength" is a marketing claim referring to the serving size and not necessarily to the concentration or efficacy of all ingredients.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking joint support, active adults, older adults
Skip If: You have a shellfish allergy, are pregnant or nursing, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a doctor.
