How big are the capsules?
We use Size 00 capsules, which are 0.91 inches long by 0.33 inches wide (23 x 8 millimeters). Most people find that they go down easily with a big gulp of water. However, if you have trouble swallowing, you can easily open the capsule and sprinkle the powder onto your food or drink. Mixing the powder with a thick liquid such as yogurt, applesauce, or a smoothie works best.
Is this supplement safe for long-term use?
When used as instructed and under the guidance of a healthcare provider, this supplement is safe for both short-term and long-term use.
What are glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM?
Glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM are naturally existing chemicals found in the human body and in other natural sources. Glucosamine is an important building block for cartilage, while chondroitin is a structural component of cartilage that plays a role in shock absorption and elasticity. MSM is a form of sulfur, which the body uses to make collagen and support tissue healing. They are thought to help support healthy joint structure, comfort and function.
How quickly does glucosamine work?
Studies show that glucosamine sulfate is readily absorbed into the body and can be traced to the cartilage as soon as four hours after consumption. However, the effects of glucosamine are cumulative, so it may take 30-90 days to experience the full benefit.
Is this supplement vegan?
No. This supplement includes ingredients derived from marine life. Glucosamine sulfate is derived from the shells of shellfish, and chondroitin sulfate comes from shark cartilage.
Is this supplement allergen-free?
This supplement is free of gluten, soy, corn, and dairy. But you should avoid this supplement if you have an allergy to shellfish.
