Cod Liver Oil and Glucosamine

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 100mg (7%) of the recommended daily intake of Glucosamine; as such, it is likely that a very extended period of supplementation would be necessary in order for one to observe the expected benefits.

This product contains no Chondroitin, but does provide 180mg EPA / DHA. As 450mg per day of Omega-3 is recommended, either the consumption of oily fish or additional supplementation of Omega-3 would be necessary in order to reach the RDA target. Overall, this product (consumed at the manufacturer’s recommended daily dosage) would be unlikely to deliver the benefits expected by the consumer.
