Supports normal joint function*

Glucosamine is a basic building block of the cartilage that cushions the joints, and chondroitin is a more complex constituent substance of that cartilage.

Studies have shown that glucosamine and chondroitin can each effectively relieve occasional pain and stiffness without the side effects of conventional analgesics. As pharmaceutical products may contribute to a higher risk of heart disease, a significant number of consumers want to try natural joint support nutrients first.*

NOWs analytical methods are recognized by AOAC International, a 120-year-old not-for-profit scientific association committed to worldwide confidence in analytical results. For example, AOACs Expert Review Panel (ERP) on glucosamine and chondroitin respectively selected NOWs glucosamine and chondroitin methods as the best methods for further laboratory validation.*

NOW Foods developed the glucosamine test method chosen as the official AOACI industry standard method.
