I need both Chondritin/glucosamine and calcium. I don't seem to absorb
either of them well in pill form. I get best 'bang for the buck' cholestrol
wise out of a bone broth than milk and seems to absorb best. Basically has
it all in one form but for pure chondritin, shrimp shells work nicely! I
know, wierd but I like them.
