    ive always bought established named stuff, seven seas or holland and barratt.

    seen an advert for easyvit products in the paper today. waaaaaaay cheaper. which got me wondering, is there any difference in quality?

    looking at the stuff im taking now, its seven seas capsules. each one has 250mg glucosamine sulphate, 200 chrondroitin, 250 fish oil inc 150mg of omega-3. theres 30 capsules for a fiver or so i think.
    also taking a seven seas cod liver oil capsule a day. 525mg inc 120mg omega 3.

    easyvit look like theyre selling same sort of strengths if not stronger for the same sort of price, but 360 capsules instead of 30!!

    anyone got any experience of them? will it be sh*te stuff? or is it a case of glucosamine is glucosamine so you cant go wrong?

    vitamin experts to the front please 🙂

    No expertise, but been using the Healthspan stuff for years and its always worked for me and lots cheaper than stuff from the high street http://www.healthspan.co.uk only downside is that they like to mail me junk every month

    ah right, looks like H&B/seven seas are the exception to the rule then. everywhere else a lot cheaper than them.

    thanks 🙂

    just out of interest, are there any recommended daily amounts of glucosamine/chrondroitin/cod liver oil/omega3 etc etc?

    does it matter whether you have 250mg or 500mg a day? is 1000mg overkill, that sort of thing?

    ok, just about to place an order with healthspan thanks. 2 sets of capsules.

    glucosamine 500mg / chrondroitin 100mg
    and
    cod liver oil 570 mg

    that sound about right? i wouldnt have a clue :-/
    i could order 1000mg cod liver oil for double the price, which i dont mind doing, but how much do people generally need?

    cheers

    there is no evidence this stuff works at all.

    If you take it for 6 months and feel no benefit stop wasting your money.

    I buy the Healthspan 'Chondromax' – seems to have a good balance of concentrations. I also get their omega3 capsules, which are similar to the cod liver oil but sometimes cheaper and higher strength
