Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex
This Glucosamine Chondroitin Complex is categorized as a Collagen & Beauty supplement, though its primary ingredients are commonly associated with joint health. It contains Glucosamine Hydrochloride at 1500mg per serving and Chondroitin Sulfate at 200mg. While 1500mg of Glucosamine is often considered a clinical dose, the Chondroitin Sulfate at 200mg is significantly underdosed compared to typical research-backed amounts, which are often 800-1200mg. The product has a low N+ Score of 48, earning an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average formulation with no ingredients at clinical doses according to our analysis, and Calcium Carbonate being underdosed. With 8 total ingredients, its label transparency is 100%, but ingredient adequacy is 0%. This product may be considered by individuals seeking basic joint support, but its low N+ Score suggests potential limitations in efficacy due to ingredient dosages.
