This delivers the classic joint support trio at full clinical doses. **Glucosamine Sulfate** at 1,500mg matches the exact dose used in the landmark GAIT trial for cartilage and joint comfort, and **Chondroitin Sulfate** at 1,200mg hits the top of its studied range. These two have the strongest evidence when taken together, and you're getting both at the doses the research actually used.

**MSM** is included at 1,000mg in the OptiMSM form, which is distillation-purified and the most studied branded version. That's the minimum clinical dose for joint and inflammatory support — if you respond well, you have room to add more, though most users will see benefit here.

The tradeoff is pill burden: you need 4 capsules daily to get these doses. It also contains shellfish (crab and shrimp), so it's not suitable if you have a shellfish allergy.
