Not Just Joints
XtendLife
Overview
This supplement features a comprehensive blend of ingredients related to joint health, inflammation, and general wellness. While it includes many well-researched compounds such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Turmeric, and Boswellia, the dosing of some key ingredients, particularly Glucosamine and Chondroitin, appears to be insufficient when considering a daily intake of 6 tablets compared to clinically effective dosages. The detailed breakdown per serving (one tablet for many ingredients) makes it clear that the full daily dose of 6 tablets is required for many ingredients to even approach research-backed levels, and even then, some fall short. The inclusion of an 'Enzyme Blend' without specific quantities for its components further adds to the uncertainty of its overall efficacy.
