A highly popular and effective joint support supplement, with trace electrolytes as part of its main compounds.
Doctor's Best Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM is a highly popular and well-regarded supplement primarily aimed at supporting joint health, mobility, and comfort. Its ingredients, Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate, are widely studied for their roles in maintaining cartilage integrity and reducing joint discomfort. While the listed ingredients show trace amounts of Chloride, Sodium, and Potassium as components of the main compounds, these are not intended as functional electrolyte doses. The product's high review count indicates strong user satisfaction and perceived efficacy for its primary purpose.
- Very high user satisfaction and positive reviews.
- Contains key ingredients (Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM) widely recognized for joint support.
- Good value per serving for a joint health supplement.
- Trace electrolytes are not sufficient for hydration or energy goals.
- Not designed for immediate energy or muscle gain, despite being listed as goals.
- Primary benefits are focused solely on joint health, not broad nutritional support.

Categories
Chloride 40.0
Provides 172mg of Chloride as part of Glucosamine Sulfate 2KCl, which is a byproduct of the main active ingredient rather than an intentionally added electrolyte for functional hydration.
Potassium 40.0
Offers 180mg of Potassium from Glucosamine Sulfate 2KCl, which is a residual amount from the glucosamine compound rather than a deliberate, functional dose for electrolyte replenishment.
Sodium 35.0
Contains 105mg of Sodium from Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium, which is a component of the joint-support ingredient and not a significant contribution to daily sodium intake for electrolyte balance.
