Default Arthritis Supplements - ConsumerLab

I'll see if I can track down the full list of the companies that passed and failed some time in the future (I'm not a CL member).


"Of the 20 joint supplements marketed to people and their pets that were selected by ConsumerLab.com and tested by independent laboratories, 40 percent failed to contain what their labels promised."

Default potency

Harry,

I have been getting most of my supplements either from Trader Joes or Swansons. I think I remember reading that Trader Joes checks to make sure their products have in them what they say they do. Do you know if Swanson makes the same claim? (edit: Oops, I see in the article that Swanson does guarantee and test their potencies. I guess one of their chondroitin products came up short, however.)

I was disheartened to see the Karuna chondroitin on the bad list. They make the progesterone cream I have been using. It looks like a couple of phone calls are in order.

Mike

Mike,

Swansons does make such a claim:

I've been using the NOW Foods brand of chondroitin which I think/hope is as potent as they claim. It's also quite affordable.
