Hello, everyone!

I've been taking a glucosamine/chondroitin supplement for years and finds it helps keep my spinal disks healthy. Once I tried just taking the glucosamine, but it was clear that I need the chondroitin. I haven't been taking anything and I'm suffering a lot of pain because of it.

Here's my question: Does anyone know what brand of chondroitin or the combination glu/cho that is NOT made from seafood sources? Looks like I have developed a reaction to seafood and can no longer use what I've been finding in the stores (Move Free, Spring Valley and other store brands). Ingredient lists are sometimes not that helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Try this one for a bovine source.

OK, I'm still trying to find ingredient sources. The first one from "Now Foods" has shellfish in it and I haven't found any of their products that don't.

The second one, Nature's Answer, doesn't have sources listed. Maybe I'm missing something?

Try this one from NOW. The chondroitan is derived from bovine cartilage but it doesn't contain glucosamine.
