What is in Glucosamine & Chondroitin + MSM?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 4 capsules. The capsule beside an amount places it among every product in the NIH database that lists the same ingredient: the bar is the middle half of their amounts, the line in it the median, the whiskers the 10th and 90th percentiles; the green tick is the FDA Daily Value and the red dashed tick the adult upper limit (IOM).
| Ingredient | Amount | % DV | Among products listing it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Methylsulfonylmethane | 1,000 mg | Higher than 74% of 1,454 products listing methylsulfonylmethane (median 500 mg). | |
| Glucosamine Sulfate Potassium Chloride | 1,350 mg | Higher than 64% of 875 products listing glucosamine sulfate (median 1 g). | |
| Potassium Chloride | 350 mg | 7%* | The label names the compound (Potassium Chloride); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the potassium it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
| Glucosamine Sulfate | 1,000 mg | ||
| Chondroitin Sulfate | 1,000 mg | Higher than 71% of 950 products listing chondroitin sulfate (median 400 mg). |
* % Daily Value computed from the printed amount and the FDA Daily Value (21 CFR 101.9); the label prints none for that row.
