The below doses are based on scientific research, publications, traditional use or expert opinion. Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, so its safety and efficacy can not be demonstrated. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. It is possible that these doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy.
Adult (18 years and older)
We studied dose of 200 to 400 mg orally two to three times daily, or 800 to 1,200 milligrams once a day. Higher doses (up to 2,000 milligrams) seem to have a similar level of effectiveness. In the treatment of osteoarthritis, the full effect may take several weeks to occur.
It is unclear what the optimal dose when used in combination with glucosamine or whether the combination is as effective or more effective than using either agent alone.
For osteoarthritis, have been used 50 to 100 milligrams in a single injection or that dose divided into two daily injections. Medical supervision is recommended.
Children (under 18)
It has been proven effective dose of chondroitin for children.
