Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Omega-3s all show substantial evidence of aiding improvement of joint health by different mechanisms; therefore, to combine the three nutrients into one product makes excellent sense. However, it is important that there be a sufficient amount of each type of nutrient in order for there to be a noticeable effect.

Two capsules per day of this product provides 400mg (25%) of the recommended daily intake of Glucosamine. As such, it is likely that a very extended period of supplementation would be required for the benefits to become apparent. The product does contain a selection of vitamins and minerals, some of which are at a level higher than 100% RDA; however, in the opinion of the SC expert panel, these nutrients would not be expected to deliver benefits specific to joint health, and therefore may be more appropriately provided by a comprehensive multivitamin and mineral supplement. This product also provides 280mg of EPA / DHA per two capsules; as the minimum recommended daily intake of EPA / DHA is 450mg, either the consumption of oily fish or additional supplementation of Omega-3 would be necessary in order to reach the guideline  target.

The product is quite expensive and it may take a long time for the benefits to become apparent.
