I'm just looking for something that will help keep my joints healthy and pain free.

I don't believe HA is there yet, but it has great potential and will be wonderful when science has perfected the absorption of it. It works great when directly INJECTED to the joint, but not when taken orally. MSM is shown to help a lot of people. I've never heard of Celedrin.

1500 Glucosamine daily is what science has shown to be effective & more is not better (just a waste) I don't think there's been much if any done with a lesser quantity.

1200 is what is recommended with Chondroitin. There's some concern among some communities about there being a link between prostate cancer and chondroitin so.... :-\ I think they're studying it right now but have yet to arrive at a conclusion.
