What is in UC-II plus 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium | 5 mg | 1% | 89% of 14,514 products listing sodium give more (median 55 mg). |
| Potassium | 5 mg | 1% | This amount is far outside what other labels list for potassium, or disagrees with the label's own %DV: possibly a unit or transcription slip in the database. Check the label image on DSLD. |
| Uc-IiProprietary Cartilage Blend | 40 mg | 57% of 199 products listing cartilage give more (median 100 mg). | |

- 95% of the 628 products that print an amount of glucosamine hydrochloride list more than its 0.125 g of glucosamine hydrochloride (median 1.5 g).
- 87% of the 950 products that print an amount of chondroitin sulfate list more than its 100 mg of chondroitin sulfate (median 400 mg).
