A joint support supplement with a minor, non-impactful amount of potassium, not suitable for fitness or general health goals.
This product is a triple-threat for joint support, combining glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM, ingredients widely used for their potential to reduce joint pain and improve mobility. The 180mg of potassium, derived from potassium chloride, is a minor addition and is not the main reason for this product's existence. Nutritionists and online reviews would consistently point to its benefits for joints, not for its role as a potassium supplement. Therefore, it's inefficient and not cost-effective if potassium supplementation or achieving the broader listed goals are the primary aims.
- Comprehensive joint support with glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM.
- Potassium content (180mg) is still too low to be effective for significant daily needs or performance goals.
- Expensive if considered for its minor potassium contribution.
- Not designed or effective for heart health, fitness, muscle gain, or energy as primary benefits.
- May contain shellfish derivatives (glucosamine), which is an allergen for some individuals.
- Do not rely on this product as a primary source of potassium.

Categories
Potassium 45.0
Contains a slightly higher dose of potassium than typical 99mg supplements, but its inclusion is secondary to the joint support ingredients, making it an inefficient source for robust potassium supplementation.
Goals
Fitness 20.0
While potassium helps with general electrolyte balance, the amount is too low to significantly impact performance or aid in recovery during intense fitness activities.
Heart Health 18.0
The 180mg of potassium offers a very limited benefit for heart health, and the main ingredients are irrelevant to direct cardiovascular support.
Muscle Gain 18.0
As a joint health supplement, it does not directly contribute to muscle growth, and its potassium content is not a significant aid for this goal.
