Product details
Glucosamine 1500 Chondroitin 1200 plus UC-II® delivers the optimum potencies and the ideal forms of the most critical ingredients for the repair and maintenance of healthy joints, along with the benefits of Undenatured Type II Collagen (UC-II). We begin with clinically-established levels of the most well-researched natural ingredients for joint health: Glucosamine Sulfate (1,500 mg) and Chondroitin Sulfate (1,200 mg).
Often referred to as the first line of natural defense for joint health, these unique ingredients make up the structure of joint tissue itself. Their benefits also extend beyond our joints to the skin, arteries, veins and heart valves. Glucosamine sulfate is the scientifically established form with proven benefits and not the all too common, inferior HCl (hydrochloride) form.
Glucosamine and chondroitin provide essential raw materials for optimum joint health and since UC-II stimulates the natural repair processes in joint tissue, the addition of UC-II only serves to enhance the already substantial benefits of this exceptional formula. Our joints endure a lifetime of use and abuse and this comprehensive formula is our perfectly balanced and common sense, natural response.
UC-II® is a Lonza trademark, registered in the USA.

Key benefits
The Building Blocks of Joint Tissue
Glucosamine is an amino sugar the body uses to build glycosaminoglycans, long molecules that are key components of cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is one of those molecules and a major component of cartilage itself. It helps cartilage hold water, and that water gives cartilage its cushioning and resilience. Together, they support healthy joint structure and function.
Glucosamine in Its Sulfate Form
We use glucosamine sulfate rather than glucosamine hydrochloride (HCl), because glucosamine sulfate is the form used in most of the clinical research on joint support. Sulfate is also part of cartilage’s own makeup, since chondroitin sulfate and related cartilage molecules carry sulfate groups.
Potassium and Calcium Forms, Not Sodium
The glucosamine is stabilized with potassium, providing 230 mg of potassium (5% DV), and the chondroitin comes as calcium chondroitin sulfate, providing 72 mg of calcium (6% DV). Many glucosamine and chondroitin supplements use sodium-based forms instead, so this formula is a thoughtful choice for anyone watching their sodium intake.
UC-II® Works Differently
Type II Collagen is the main collagen in cartilage. Most collagen supplements are hydrolyzed, broken down into small peptides that serve as building materials. UC-II® is kept in its native, undenatured form, and it works in a completely different way. Its intact structure interacts with immune tissue in the digestive tract, a process called oral tolerance, which research suggests helps support joint comfort and flexibility. That’s why it’s effective at a small daily dose of just 50 mg (standardized to 3% Undenatured Type II Collagen) per serving.
Suggested use
Consume five capsules daily — preferably with food. You can increase or decrease your intake as required or as guided by your physician.

Frequently asked questions
What do Glucosamine and Chondroitin do?
Both are natural components of cartilage, the smooth, flexible tissue that cushions joints. Glucosamine is a raw material the body uses to build cartilage, and chondroitin helps cartilage stay hydrated and resilient. Supplying both supports the maintenance of healthy joint tissue, helping joints stay comfortable and flexible through everyday movement.
Why Glucosamine Sulfate instead of Glucosamine HCl?
Glucosamine sulfate is the form used in most of the clinical research on glucosamine and joint support, while studies of glucosamine HCl have generally been less encouraging. Sulfate is also part of cartilage’s own makeup, since chondroitin sulfate and related joint molecules carry sulfate groups.
Why is Vitamin C included?
The body needs vitamin C to make collagen, the protein that forms the structural framework of cartilage and connective tissue. While glucosamine and chondroitin support cartilage’s cushioning, vitamin C supports the collagen framework that holds it all together. Each serving provides 10 mg (11% DV).
Is there a powdered version?
Yes. Glucosamine 1500 Chondroitin 1200 plus UC-II® Bulk Powder comes in a 180-serving container. Two level scoops (about 1 teaspoon) is equal to five capsules. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are not readily water-soluble, so we recommend mixing the powder into smoothies, yogurt, oatmeal or applesauce.
