Glucosamine
Supplements Buying Tip
In early 2000 ConsumerLab, Inc., conducted
tests of glucosamine-chondroitin supplements, as well as
glucosamine only and chondroitin only supplements. Almost
half of the combination products, and both of the chondroitin
only products, failed quality tests because of low levels
of chondroitin. Interestingly, according to ConsumerLab,
chondroitin costs manufacturers about four times more than
glucosamine, which may explain why it was lacking in so
many products. Check the ConsumerLab Web site (wwwconsumerlab.com)
to see how specific brands fared in the tests before purchasing
a chondroitin supplement.
