A joint support supplement with minimal, incidental potassium and calcium, ineffective for major health, fitness, or energy goals.
21st Century Glucosamine Relief is clearly positioned as a joint health supplement. Glucosamine sulfate is its main active ingredient, known for its role in maintaining cartilage integrity and joint comfort. The potassium and calcium are present, but their dosages are far too low to provide significant benefits for the stated goals when compared to products specifically formulated for those purposes or dietary sources. Consumers should not rely on this product for meaningful potassium supplementation or for impactful effects on cardiovascular health, athletic performance, or muscle building.
- Provides a decent dose of glucosamine sulfate for joint health.
- Potassium content (131mg) is very low and inefficient for the stated broad goals.
- Not designed or effective as a primary supplement for heart health, fitness, muscle gain, or energy.
- High price per serving if considering its minimal mineral contributions.
- This product is not a potassium or calcium supplement; it should not be relied upon to meet significant mineral needs.

Categories
Potassium 30.0
Contains potassium as a secondary ingredient in a relatively low amount (131mg), making it a poor and inefficient choice if the primary goal is robust potassium supplementation.
Goals
Heart Health 15.0
The potassium content is minor for heart health benefits, and the primary ingredient (glucosamine) is not targeted at cardiovascular health, making its contribution negligible.
Fitness 15.0
The limited potassium contribution is insufficient to significantly support electrolyte balance or performance during intense fitness activities or recovery.
Muscle Gain 15.0
As a joint support supplement, it offers no direct role in muscle gain, and the potassium content is too low to be a significant aid for muscle growth or repair.

If potassium's role in the original product is seen as important for general health/fitness, this is an excellent value for a high-quality potassium form at a much lower overall cost.

While primarily for bone health, it contains a very high amount of potassium (1173mg) and other synergistic minerals. This could be 'better' if broader fitness, heart health, and bone support goals are considered.
