Is it better to take 2 glucosamine capsules or 1 of each glucosamine and chondroitin?

Question:
I’ve been using 2 glucosamine tablets a day for years. I’m also considering to use chondroitin, but I don’t want to take more than 2 capsules a day. What is the effect if I take 1 capsule of each formula? Is there an alternative?

Answer:
Unfortunately there is no concrete evidence because the effect differs per person (depending on the metabolism, the affected joints, the nature of the symptoms). It may very well be that 1 glucosamine capsule and 1 chondroitin capsule has the same effect as 2 glucosamine capsules for you, but there’s also a possibility that the symptoms will increase. The only way to find out if the effect remains the same is to try it out for yourself.

There are other alternatives, such as our product Arthro-5, but that involves taking more capsules, so that likely not an option for you.
