I noticed that this formulation does not have chondroitin. I'm wondering why. It has other great ingredients. Why was chondroitin left out?

Thorne’s AR-Encap offers the same joint-supportive benefits that are offered by chondroitin with MSM and glucosamine. However, the focus of AR-Encap is to provide more than joint tissue support; the additional nutrients in the formula provide relief from occasional pain, soreness, and stiffness.

When is the expiration date?

It depends on the bottle. Expiration date is different for each batch.

Is this product NSF certified?

No, Thorne’s Joint Support Nutrients product is not NSF Certified for Sport.

Does this contain shellfish?

The Thorne Research - AR-Encap contains ingredients derived from shellfish.

Effective and Gentle Joint Support

I’ve been using THORNE Joint Support Nutrients and it really makes a difference. The formula combines high-quality ingredients that help reduce joint discomfort and support mobility. Easy to take, gentle on the stomach, and from a trusted brand — a great choice for long-term joint health.

Stomach Pains

I’ve used 10+ other Thorne products and never had an issue, but these unfortunately upset my stomach so I only used them for about a week. I did notice some improvement in my joint pain shortly after, but I didn’t use the supplements for long enough to determine if they were the cause.

Helping me help myself

Looking for supplements is always a tricky endeavor. So many of the products on the market today do more other than reduce the money in our pocketbook. But after a lot of searching and talking to friends, who know about nutrition, I settled on a variety of products from Thorne. It’s safe to say that these are not the cheapest supplements you can get, but when it comes to health, I’m more concerned about effective than cheap. As a person over 50 who has recently taken up jogging again, old sports injuries tend to creep into my knees on a regular basis. Looking for something to counteract this discomfort, I started to take the thorn joint supplement. I can honestly say that after a couple of weeks, my jogging has increased, but not my discomfort. I’m confident at the quality ingredients and the science that goes into the supplements is something that we can trust for our health. I continue to be a Supporter of these products. I can also say that Amazon offers pricing as competitive as buying direct.

Went back to Kirkland

I stopped taking the Kirkland Glucosamine Chondroitin and bought this as I like Throne products. After 30 days I noticed I felt discomfort when putting socks on in the morning. I switched back to the Kirkland version and after 2 week I noticed I put my socks on without issue. I love most Thorne products but this one does not work well for me.
