Optima (formerly Kordels) Glucosamine and Chondroitin capsules

Optima (formerly Kordels) Glucosamine and Chondroitin capsules contain 500mg Glucosamine Sulphate and 400mg Chondroitin.

Commonly derived from crab shell, glucosamine is made up of glucose, a sugar that the body burns for fuel, and glutamine (an amino acid). It is an important part of the mucopolysaccharides, which provide structure to the bone, cartilage, skin, nails, hair and other body tissues.

Chondroitin is closely related to Glucosamine and is found in connective tissue. Glucosamine and Chondroitin are utilised by the joints to repair, strengthen and improve the integrity of the cartilage, in addition to improving the viscosity of the lubricating (synovial) fluid in the joints. They also relieve osteoarthritis and initiate joint repair, including reduction of pain and inflammation.

Take Optima Glucosamine & Chondroitin capsules for:

Joint health
Sports Injuries
Cardiovascular health
Leaky gut
Bone health
General connective tissue support
Vascular health
Varicose veins

Over the long term, studies suggest that glucosamine and chondroitin may be more effective than non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (eg. ibuprofen), with none of the drugs' common side-effects.


Take 1 or 2 Optima Glucosamine & Chondroitin capsules a day, preferably at mealtimes, or as directed by a healthcare practitioner.

Although interactions are rare, diabetics should be monitored if they intend to use glucosamine.
