Joints and mobility: glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen

Glucosamine and chondroitin are two substances naturally found in cartilage and synovial fluid in joints. They are among the most sought-after supplements by active individuals and seniors concerned about joint comfort, often combined with collagen, MSM (methylsulfonylmethane), or vitamin C.

These active ingredients are generally sought for regular use over several weeks, as the effects are not immediate. Joint pain is one of the most frequent search reasons in this category: our product sheets do not claim to treat pain, but accurately describe the composition of each reference to allow you to make an informed choice. Since 2012, European regulations strictly control health claims associated with glucosamine; our product sheets are therefore limited to describing the composition and traditional use of each reference, without unauthorized claims.
