A standard and cost-effective joint health supplement providing glucosamine and chondroitin, with incidental electrolyte content from their salt forms.
Quantity: 120, Dose: 1500mg Glucosamine Sulfate, 1200mg Chondroitin Sulfate, 300mg Methylsulfonylmethane
Jarrow Formulas Glucosamine + Chondroitin is a classic joint support supplement, widely used to help maintain cartilage integrity and reduce joint discomfort. The sodium and potassium present are primarily incidental, coming from the salt forms of chondroitin (sodium) and glucosamine (potassium chloride), rather than being intentionally dosed for electrolyte balance. The 60 servings per bottle at a reasonable price per serving make it a cost-effective option for long-term joint health management.
- Well-established ingredients (Glucosamine and Chondroitin) for joint health support, cartilage maintenance, and reducing stiffness.
- Good value with 60 servings per bottle at a reasonable price per serving, making it suitable for long-term use.
- Positive review count indicates a trusted product in its category.
- The sodium and potassium content is a byproduct of the ingredient forms, not a targeted electrolyte blend, and is insufficient for significant electrolyte replenishment.
- Not suitable for individuals with shellfish allergies (as glucosamine is often derived from shellfish).
- Its benefits are highly specific to joint health; it does not directly contribute to muscle gain, energy, or comprehensive general health beyond joint support.

Categories
Potassium 40.0
The 260mg of potassium, present as part of glucosamine sulfate potassium chloride, contributes a modest amount to daily potassium intake but is not sufficient for significant electrolyte support during intense activity or deficiencies.
Sodium 20.0
The 120mg of sodium is present as part of chondroitin sulfate sodium and is too low to act as a significant source for electrolyte balance or replenishment.
Goals
Fitness 75.0
Essential for fitness enthusiasts, especially those engaged in high-impact activities or heavy lifting, as it supports joint health, crucial for preventing injuries and ensuring consistent training without discomfort.
General Health 65.0
Supports a crucial aspect of general health by maintaining joint mobility and reducing discomfort, which is vital for quality of life and physical activity. However, it's not a broad-spectrum general health supplement.
Energy 25.0
This supplement does not provide any direct energy boost. Its contribution to energy is indirect, by potentially reducing joint pain which might otherwise hinder physical activity and energy levels.
