- Free from common allergens and additives: Free from gluten, wheat, dairy, soya and yeast, and made without artificial preservatives, flavours or colours.
- Two-month supply: 60 tablets provide a two-month supply at the recommended one-a-day dose.
Is there evidence that glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM help with joint pain?
NICE's clinical guideline on osteoarthritis (NG226) advises against offering glucosamine or chondroitin for managing osteoarthritis, reflecting the current evidence base. This product is a food supplement, not a licensed medicine, and no claim is made that it treats, prevents or cures any joint condition.
How should I take this supplement?
Take one tablet daily, preferably with a meal, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner. One tablet provides the full stated daily amount of glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM.
Is this suitable for people with a shellfish allergy?
The glucosamine in this product is stated by the manufacturer to be shellfish-free, unlike glucosamine derived from shellfish shells used in many other products. If you have a shellfish allergy, check with your pharmacist or doctor before taking any glucosamine supplement.
Can I take this if I have asthma, diabetes or a heart condition, or if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
The British National Formulary lists asthma, impaired glucose tolerance and a predisposition to cardiovascular disease as cautions for glucosamine, and manufacturers advise against use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Speak to your doctor before taking this product if any of these apply to you.
