GS-500 Glucosamine Sulfate by Enzymatic Therapy is an 'Other Combinations' supplement for Joint & Bone health, featuring 5 ingredients. It achieved an N+ Score of 46, resulting in an 'F' grade and placing it in the below-average tier. The primary active ingredient is Glucosamine Sulfate at 1,500 mg per serving, a dosage commonly used in research for joint support.
