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.

One capsule per day of this product provides 500mg (33%) of the recommended daily intake of Glucosamine, in addition to 50mg Chondroitin Sulphate. 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 Vitamin E and Selenium; 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 93mg of EPA / DHA per capsule approx.; 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 target. Further to the above, this product contains ginger, which might provide some additional benefits if it was present at significantly higher concentrations.

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