How much Chondroitin should you take?

SuppScore grades doses across evidence zones rather than against a single recommended figure. Scored information, not a recommendation.

  1. Zone 10 to 300 mg per dayLow dose
  2. Zone 2300 to 600 mg per dayGeneral maintenance dose
  3. Zone 3600 to 1080 mg per dayFor deficiency or elevated need
  4. Zone 41080 to 2100 mg per dayTherapeutic dose

Zones describe what the evidence supports at a dose. They are not advice on what to take, and they do not replace a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist.
