Common questions
Is the glucosamine from shellfish?
No. The label lists it as shellfish free. The type II collagen and hyaluronic acid come from chicken sternum cartilage.
How do I take it?
8 capsules once a day, or 4 in the morning and 4 in the evening. A 200-capsule bottle gives you 25 days.
Is the red bottle different from the white one?
5% Nutrition calls the red label a new look for the same product, and the amounts on both match.
Can I take it with blood thinners or birth control?
Talk to your healthcare provider first. The label specifically names anticoagulant, birth control and diuretic medications, along with diabetes and pregnancy.
