Product and pack
How many capsules are in a pack? Thirty. At two capsules a day that equals fifteen days of use.
What is declared? Per capsule: glucosamine sulphate, MSM, horsetail extract standardised to seven per cent silicon, and vitamin C at fifty per cent of the nutrient reference value. The pack you receive takes precedence.
Is it a medicine? No. It is sold as a food supplement and replaces neither diagnosis nor treatment.
Taking it
When is the best time? There are no reliable data on a preferred time of day for glucosamine or MSM. Regularity counts more than timing.
With or without food? Either works. With a sensitive stomach, taking it with a meal is more comfortable.
What if a serving is missed? Do not make it up and do not double the next one.
Ingredients and suitability
Is it vegan? In this category glucosamine mostly comes from crustaceans, and gelatine capsules are not vegan. The statement on the pack decides.
Suitable with a shellfish allergy? Not with crustacean-derived glucosamine. Check the allergen note and clarify medically if in doubt.
Which claim is authorised in the EU? Only the vitamin C claim on normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage. There is none for glucosamine or MSM.
Safety and buying
Are there interactions? A possible influence of glucosamine on coumarin anticoagulants is described. Clarify medically first.
How do I compare prices sensibly? By price per daily serving, not by pack price.
How do I recognise a reputable seller? A complete legal notice, a clear cancellation policy, honest prices without permanent discounting, and no unauthorised efficacy claims.
