Omega 3 Glucosamine + Chondroitin

Tesco

Overall rating

Value for money

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 of this product per day provide 374mg (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, however, it does contain 400mg Chondroitin, which would provide additional benefits. This product also contains 260mg 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 and achieve the benefits of increased Omega-3 intake.

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