| SC Quality Benchmark for Glucosamine Tablets The recommended daily dose of the product should provide 1500mg Glucosamine Sulphate or Hydrochloride. |
With strong evidence of significant benefit to joint health by increasing mobility and reducing stiffness and pain, Glucosamine is naturally one of the most popular supplements available.
Most studies indicate that 1500mg Glucosamine Sulphate or Hydrochloride per day is necessary and that supplementation needs to be at this level for a minimum of 3 months to achieve these benefits.
Quality
The simplest way of taking Glucosamine is in tablet form, and most, but certainly not all, of the products assessed here delivered a minimum level of 1500mg Glucosamine Sulphate or Hydrochloride at the recommended dosage. This level should be considered as the benchmark for quality, and so products that deliver this dose are category winners. As this category contains many products which reach the SC quality benchmark, value for money becomes a more important factor.
Value range
With such a simple one ingredient product, and with many products satisfying the quality criteria, the consideration of value becomes very important. The range of cost of 1500mg of Glucosamine Sulphate or Hydrochloride of the products reviewed varied from £0.05 to £0.59.
