What is in MSM Complex With Gelatin, Glucosamine + Chondroitin?
Each row as the label prints it, per serving of 1 tablet. 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSM | 450 mg | 51% of 1,454 products listing methylsulfonylmethane give more (median 500 mg). Per day at the most servings: 900 mg. | |
| Glucosamine Complex | 10 mg | 96% of 117 products listing glucosamine (unspecified) give more (median 750 mg). Per day at the most servings: 20 mg. | |
| Chondroitin Sulfate | 2 mg | This amount is far outside what other labels list for chondroitin sulfate, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. | |
| Gelatin | 10 mg | 97% of 90 products listing gelatin give more (median 457 mg). Per day at the most servings: 20 mg. | |
| Vitamin C | 10 mg | 17% | 95% of 18,583 products listing vitamin C give more (median 100 mg). Per day at the most servings: 20 mg. |
| Manganese Sulfate | 100 mg | 500% | The label names the compound (Manganese Sulfate); its amount is likely the compound's weight, not the manganese it holds, so it is not placed among other products. |
