Description
Lamberts Glucosamine Complete 120 Tablets is a food supplement that combines glucosamine sulphate with Phytodroitin, MSM, quercetin and ginger in a three-a-day tablet. Three tablets provide 1400mg of glucosamine sulphate, and the tablets are suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Key Features
- Vegan glucosamine: The glucosamine is GlucosaGreen, made by direct fermentation rather than from shellfish. Lamberts describes it as bioequivalent to shellfish-derived glucosamine.
- Plant-origin chondroitin alternative: Phytodroitin is made from a blend of seaweed extracts. Three tablets provide 330mg of Phytodroitin, equivalent to 300mg of chondroitin.
- 1400mg glucosamine sulphate: This is the amount in 3 tablets, which Lamberts describes as the level used in many studies.
- Added quercetin, ginger and MSM: Three tablets also provide 50mg of quercetin, 1200mg of ginger (from 60mg of a 20:1 extract) and 150mg of MSM.
- Three tablets a day: A 120-tablet pack lasts 40 days at the directed amount.
Is Lamberts Glucosamine Complete vegan, and does it contain shellfish?
The tablets are suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The glucosamine is produced by fermentation, not from shellfish, and Lamberts lists shellfish among the allergens excluded from the product. Lamberts presents the tablets as an option for people with a shellfish allergy who cannot take traditional glucosamine and chondroitin supplements.
What is Phytodroitin?
Phytodroitin is Lamberts' plant-origin alternative to chondroitin, made from a blend of seaweed extracts. Each 3-tablet daily amount provides 330mg of Phytodroitin, equivalent to 300mg of pure chondroitin.
How does Glucosamine Complete differ from Lamberts Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl?
Both provide 1400mg of glucosamine sulphate a day. Glucosamine Sulphate 2KCl is taken as 2 tablets and contains glucosamine sulphate only. Glucosamine Complete is taken as 3 tablets and adds Phytodroitin, MSM, quercetin and ginger.
How long does a pack of 120 tablets last?
At the directed 3 tablets a day, a pack of 120 tablets lasts 40 days.
