The important factors to look out for besides price is:

- Does the product provide the proven ingredients Glucosamine & Chondroitin Sulphate? It is redundant if they add everything and anything but the proven ingredients.

- Is the 2 most important ingredients in the formula at the medically researched dose per serve ie. 1.5g : 1.2g?

- Does the product lasts for 30 days, assuming you take the medically researched dose once per day.

- At 30 servings or one month cycle, is the price still competitve?

If not, then look no furthur than Elastamine

3 days. this stuff contains a wide variety of other stuffs;
vitamins C, magnesium, Zinc, Manganese, etc. 4 caps to supplement Glucosamine of 1.5g, MSM of 1.5g and flexicol 645mg. my joint pains are gone within 2-3.

120caps with 4 caps a day so it lasts for a month. i didnt take 4 caps daily but only the first 2 weeks of experiencing joints pain, after which, 2 caps a day.

i bought another brand from watsons...Its called "Nature's Essence" For every 1 tablet It contains 350mg of Glucosamine SUlphate, 300mg of Chondroitin Sulphate, 200mg MSM, 200mg white willow bark and 25mg Devil's claw root extract...As for tri-flex, my multivits already has magnesium etc so i dun think i would wan an overdoesage of it...So trying this brand...Mayb u can try it too orcale...it cost $33.60 for 75 capblets

some products only have glucosamine sulphate as their content, while some have a blend of ingredients like MSM and Vitamin C. So which one is better in choice? I have a confusion here... thanks.

the best way to build joint strength is to use multiple reps.T-mag did a section before saying that high reps help build tendon and ligament strength whcih translate to better joint care while heavy weights reduce joint strength.for me, i use 2000mg of vit c a day and drink lots of milk.primitive but effective for me.

I suggest just Glucosamine sulphate 1500mg daily. Chondrotin are just bigger molecules consisting of multiple units of Glucosamine. So basically Glucosamine and chondrotin come from Chitin (stuff like crab or prawn shell). When you add acid to chitin , you get chondrotin then glucosamine. Because Glucosamine are smaller in size they are absorbed a lot better. Beside Glucosamine, you need sulphur. This is why glucosamine sulphate is better than glucosamine HCl. ;D

There's a new ingredient for some joint relief supplements called Celadrin which sounds promising.

From a supplement website:

How does Celadrin work?

Celadrin works similar to, but much more dramatically than the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA from fish oils. Celadrin's complex blend of esterified fatty acids; provide many vital and beneficial effects for the inflammatory responses in the body. Celadrin induces changes at the cellular level, in the cell membranes which positively affect the responsiveness of the cell membranes. This aids in the reduction of cartilage breakdown in the joints. The body is made up of an enormous amount of cells separated into varied types and functions. The cell membrane is the organized structure that separates and protects components in the cell from neighboring cells and the outside world. Some of the major components of the cell membrane are structural lipids. These lipids regulate the nutrients, minerals, electrolytes, drugs and other compounds across the cell membrane. This regulation is very critical to the adequate function and health of the individual cell.

Celadrin enhances the cell membrane and its integrity for efficient functionality. Celadrin provides the cell membrane with an ideal blend of lipids to enhance its function. A myriad or countless number of body stressors impairs and targets the cell membrane's lipids which creates damage to the peak functioning and health of the membrane and cell. This reaction damages the membrane and can cause the cell's demise. Consuming or applying Celadrin enables the cell membrane to protect the cell and repel the stressors. Celadrin also assists in perfecting the functioning or the channeling capabilities of the cell membrane. The result is a more efficient, fluid, permeable and a youthful cell membrane.
