Consumer Lab Reports Phony Joint Supplements

It does matter what brand you select when purchasing joint supplements. ConsumerLab reports " ...eight supplements for osteoarthritis failed ConsumerLab's testing. Four of had less than 8% of their listed amounts of key ingredients, including a "maximum strength" product that contained no chondroitin at all. Three others had only 52% to 75% of listed ingredients. One failed because it would not properly break apart to release its glucosamine and chondroitin."

Advocare Nature's Plus
