Glucosamine & Chondroitin

Joint health and cartilage support.. Both Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate are well below clinically studied doses. This significantly limits the product's potential effectiveness. It's a decent concept but needs much higher dosages to be impactful.

5.5/10
DECENT

Both leading ingredients are significantly underdosed. Glucosamine at 500mg is only 33% of the studied 1500mg dose, and chondroitin at 250mg is only 31% of the 800mg clinical dose. This is a Thorne product with quality you can trust, but the doses are too low to expect the joint benefits shown in research. You would need to triple the serving to match study protocols.
