- 87% of the 950 products that print an amount of chondroitin sulfate list more than its 100 mg of chondroitin sulfate (median 400 mg).
The NIH database records 3 servings a day from the label's directions; its % Daily Values are for adults and children 4 or more years of age. The directions as printed are further down this page.
