I think that it does not change the final result since it is a physical and not chemical change.

Hi Sheri. Thank you for your question.Since this is a natural product, taste, color and consisteny may vary with each batch we produce. The thickness changes depending on the molecular weight of the chondroitin used in each batch. Each batch of chondroitin we use is tested and confirmed to be USP grade, however due to a cartilage shortage, sometimes it comes from beef and sometimes from pork. This has caused variation in batch thicknesses, but it does not affect the quality.I hope this answers your question.

I just swallow the capsules whole, they're a little on the large side but manageable. I don't know if it will reduce the effectiveness if you mix the powder with something.

I had no trouble swallowing them, but I can take pills with no problem. They weren't real big. Sorry I can't help you with this.

They are definitely what I would call a "larger" pill...but they are slightly coated, so I don't have any trouble swallowing them. I highly recommend this brand (Carlson) because they don't put a bunch of junk/fillers in their vitamins. And this chelated magnesium is great stuff. Because it's "chelated" your body will actually absorb/utilize it.

I have ordered this product from two different providers. I still have a container that is almost empty now. Both of the containers list Glucosamine at 500 mgs.

I disagree that it's a large capsule and I have a lot of trouble swallowing. However, any powdered magnesium in a capsule can be sprinkled on applesauce or mixed into yogurt, etc. I often choke on capsules and twist them open. The capsule is just a transporter. You can use magnesium in many forms and I've even soaked my feet in it (in a cheaper form)

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..

There is slight evidence that glucosamine/chondroitin can lessen pain and slow osteoarthritis of the joints, specifically knees and hips. Frankly, the statistics are not very convincing. I doubt that it would be helpful for back pain.

I am not sure. They absorb without food. I do know crushing can alter some pills or supplements. I would suggest chewable citrate or liquid. There are some great bariatric chews out there as well as others. Good luck.

600mg glucosamine 300mg chondroitin250mg MSM5mg manganese Per chewable tablet. The proportion is actually the same as recommended by my vet. Hope that helps. :)

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 find it much easier to swallow large pills in apple sauce. I don't mean crushing or emptying capsules, but whole pills in a spoonful of applesauce. I hope this helps.

Yes. The Glucosamine Chondroitin is Gluten free. It's ingredients are more vega.

Hi, a friend had recommended this because my guy (11 years) had started having joint issues. He seems improved. It's got 500 mg Glucosamine Hydrochloride and 500 mg Methylsuffonylmethane (whatever that is!) There's no actual "strength" they just give you a chart with the daily dose depending on the dog's weight.
