A joint support supplement with negligible potassium, not suited for heart health, fitness, muscle gain, or energy goals.
Quantity: 60Quantity: 120
21st Century Glucosamine 250 mg Chondroitin 200 mg is clearly formulated as a joint support supplement, not a product for athletic performance or general energy. The efficacy of glucosamine and chondroitin for joint health is widely discussed, but their relevance to 'Heart Health,' 'Fitness' (beyond supporting joint mobility for exercise), 'Muscle Gain,' or 'Energy' is virtually non-existent. The potassium content is too low to have any impact on electrolyte balance or contribute to the stated goals. Therefore, for the specified objectives, this product offers minimal benefit.
- Contains widely used ingredients for joint health (Glucosamine and Chondroitin).
- Affordable option for basic joint support.
- Does not directly address the specified goals of Heart Health, Fitness, Muscle Gain, or Energy.
- Potassium content (66mg) is too low to be beneficial for potassium supplementation.
- Misaligned with the general expectations for a product categorized under these goals.
- Individuals with shellfish allergies should exercise caution as glucosamine is often derived from shellfish.
- Consult a physician if you are pregnant, nursing, or have a medical condition, especially diabetes or bleeding disorders.

Categories
Potassium 15.0
The potassium content of 66mg is very low and incidental to the primary joint health ingredients, making this product irrelevant for those seeking significant potassium supplementation within the 'Potassium' collection.
Goals
Fitness 25.0
While maintaining healthy joints can indirectly support continued fitness activities, this product does not directly enhance athletic performance, improve stamina, or aid in recovery from strenuous exercise. Its contribution to fitness is highly indirect.
Heart Health 20.0
Glucosamine and Chondroitin have no established direct link to cardiovascular health, and the potassium content is far too low to provide any meaningful heart-protective effects.
Muscle Gain 20.0
This supplement has no direct mechanism or proven effect on muscle protein synthesis, muscle repair, or overall muscle gain; its ingredients are not targeted for this purpose.
