A highly effective joint health supplement (Glucosamine/Chondroitin) beneficial for cartilage support and mobility. It does not provide muscle gain or energy benefits, despite listed goals, making it a targeted solution.
Quantity: 60
This 21st Century product is a joint support supplement, not a general nutritional shake or meal replacement. It provides 1500mg of Glucosamine Sulfate and 1200mg of Chondroitin Sulfate per serving, which are well-researched compounds known for their roles in maintaining cartilage integrity, cushioning joints, and potentially alleviating joint pain. It is extremely low in calories (10 Cal) and carbohydrates (2g), as expected for a targeted supplement. While highly relevant for joint aspects of 'General Health' and 'Fitness' (especially recovery), it offers no direct contribution to 'Muscle Gain' or 'Energy' due to its lack of protein and significant caloric content. The minimal presence of sodium (125mg) and potassium (194mg) are incidental to its primary joint health function.
- Contains research-backed dosages of Glucosamine (1500mg) and Chondroitin (1200mg) per serving, which are widely recognized for their role in joint health.
- Supports cartilage integrity and may help reduce joint discomfort, crucial for active individuals and general mobility.
- Very low calorie (10 Cal) and carbohydrate (2g) profile, fitting into any dietary regimen without adding unnecessary macros.
- Offers no direct benefits for muscle gain, energy, or comprehensive general health beyond joint support, making the listed goals misleading.
- Not a source of protein or significant calories, so it cannot function as a meal replacement or energy booster.
- Its effectiveness is limited to joint health and does not cover broader nutritional needs.
- This product is a joint-specific supplement and should not be considered a source of protein, energy, or a complete multivitamin.
- Individuals with shellfish allergies should consult a doctor, as Glucosamine is often derived from shellfish.

Categories
Sodium 80.0
At 125mg per serving, the sodium content is low and acceptable for daily consumption, especially for a joint supplement where electrolyte balance is not the primary focus but still a beneficial inclusion.
Potassium 70.0
Providing 194mg of potassium, this product offers a modest yet beneficial contribution to daily potassium intake, supporting basic electrolyte functions without being a significant source.
Goals
Fitness 75.0
For fitness, this product supports joint health, which is crucial for sustained physical activity and recovery, especially for athletes or those engaged in high-impact exercises. However, it does not provide direct energy or muscle-building components.
General Health 70.0
While specifically beneficial for joint health, a key aspect of general well-being, this product does not contribute significantly to other facets of general health such as macronutrient intake, broader vitamin/mineral needs, or systemic support. Its contribution is targeted rather than comprehensive.
Heart Health 60.0
This product has a very low calorie, fat, and cholesterol profile, which is neutral to positive for heart health. The minimal sodium (125mg) and potassium (194mg) contributions are not significant enough to be primary heart health drivers, but they are not detrimental.
