Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I buy this product because I have a shellfish allergy and the only way to get this was via online; now it's available in some of the local shops. I can't really say but I do know that when I had forgotten to order and had to wait about ten days for delivery, my knees were sore. Don't know if this really helps you, but I hadn't given it any thought but that it was safe for me to take.

I've never used formulas with chondroitin because they includes shellfish, which is a no-no for me. This is the only formula I've ever used, and I found that it has helped me. Since I began using it, the painful bouts I had previously experienced in my arthritic knees has not re-occurred, and I've been able to function normally, including going up and down stairs.

It works for me. Not sure if it will work for everyone. I started off using it with chondroitin and MSM.. Have used about 3 brands without chondroitin and they all seem to work about the same.. I take one pill a day for my maintenance dose. Otherwise my half-metal ankle starts hurting a lot..

Chondroitin and glucosamine can come from a number of natural sources. For example, shark or bovine cartilage. It can also be made in a lab. Chondroitin is also known as chondroitin sulfuric acid, chondroitin sulfate, and chonsurid. They are all the same. I do not believe that it is a vegetarian source because it can come from animals. It does not come from any type of shellfish so there is no issue with allergic reactions. I would suggest you read labels carefully before buying.

The only other products listed are gelatin caps and silica. I try to avoid Mg stearate of possible. I was happy to find a product without it.

Here you go, Barb... ACTIVE: Glucosamine HCL 600mg, Chondroitin Sulfate 300mg, MSM 250 mg, Absorbic Acid 30mg, Manganese 5mg. INACTIVE: Dicalcium Phosphate, Kaolin, Magnesium Stearate, Maltodextrins, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Natural Flavoring, Silica Aerogel, Stearic Acid, and Vegetable Oil. I've been giving this to my 11 1/2 year old shepherd mix since February, after paying through the nose for Rimadyl. She was having random 'crying fits' where she would just yelp and whimper for no reason. The vet said, physically, she was fine, but that she probably had some aches and whatnot in her joints - she's older and a big dog (60lbs). She's not had a single 'crying fit' since she's been on this stuff - over three full months now. So, it seems to work for me. :)

I used itas a digestive aid, but I dont think it is a complete vitamin formula. I no longer need to use it.

I have bought both the cosequin ds and the cosequin maximum. I believe they each had 500 mg glucosamine and 400 mg of chondroiton. In fact, on the newer bottles it says cosequin ds maximum strength. The regular cosequin has only 250 mg of glucosamine and 200 chondroiton. Both the ds and maximum worked good for my dogs, and I got the chewable tablets. They eat them right out of my hand. But check the ingredients before you order, it should be 500 glucosamine, 400 chondroiton

Yes it does,Glucosamine and MSM is an effective supplement combination that helps support maximum flexibility, range of motion, joint lubrication and maintenance for healthy cartilage and connective tissue.† Glucosamine is a basic building block for cartilage, synovial fluid and other connective tissues, which are needed for healthy structure integrity, and function of joints and optimum mobility.†MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a bioavailable sulfur. Sulfur is a necessary component that works in conjunction with Glucosamine to provide the building blocks of collagen, an important component of healthy joints and connective tissue.

There are two formulas, one with astaxanthin and one without. This one most likely does not.

I do not have an answer for that question. Believe it could be googled for an answer. I can offer the opinion that this product, with sulfate ingredients, is working well for me by reducing swellinng and pain in the knee joint.

Not sure...I showed this to my pharmacist friend and her husband who is an orthopedist and no one really recognizes the ingredients...regardless, it works !! My 9 year old lab is not prancing around like a puppy and was limping from athritis before zeel. It took 2 weeks on Zeel before she was prancing again !!! My vet recommended it and she was right.

Glucosamine Chondroitin is what is in it as far as I know. The ingredient should be listed in the description somewhere. At least it should be. I do not endorse this product so do not buy it because I did. I would not it buy if I had a say in the matter.

According to the label on the container, yes it does. It says Chondroitin Sulfate (from Chondroitin Sulfate- sodium salt).

The glucosamine and chondroitin are from shellfish. The MSM is from a plant source. And the two added ingredients are vegetable-based. Whether it's gluten-free or not would probably depend on what plant source the MSM comes from... Sorry there aren't any more specifics... Good luck!

I agree that there is nothing in the description of the product that tells consumers what they are buying. For example, this information should be printed in the product description: The daily "serving size" is 2 tablets = 1500 mg glucosamine and 1200 mg chondroitin. Thus, EACH TABLET is 700 mg glucosamine and 600 mg chondroitin. There is no MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) in this product which other manufacturers have in their products. What is known is that there are 2 bottles containing 170 tablets each = 340 tablets.Of course, use simple math to compute the cost of each tablet including shipping if applicable.

I sought this for my father suffering from joint pain because it contains glucosamine and chondroitin. He stopped after 60 days worth since it did not provide noticable relief for him.
