The condroitin/glucosamine in tablet form is made with a large amount
of bivalve shell. After taking those horse pill tablets for a while
many folks develop a seafood allergy.... it's best to take Elations,
it contains no seafood and gets into the system faster and more
completely... much of those horse pills pass right through without
fully dissolving so they are a big waste. Elations costs a tiny bit
more but why bother with stuff that doesn't work well and can cause an
allergy. Actually all calcium suppliment tablets contain bivalve
shell, the cure is worse than the disease... much better to get one's
calcium from dairy, and for the Calcium to work one needs Vitamin D,
drinking a couple three glasses of fat free milk works best. When I
was seriously into smoothies I used fat free milk.
