-
Glucosamine
Glucosamine- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

Comments about GNC Triflex™:
This product is definitely less expensive than another product and works as well to maintain comfort and flexibility in the joints but I noticed after taking it for just three weeks that my blood pressure readings were elevated. That is when I compared the ingredients in the two products. Though the salesperson at GNC had said that the other product and Triflex were "exactly the same" it is not quite true. Triflex has an added ingredient -- sodium. When I went back to the more expensive product, my blood pressure readings came back down to normal.
