Who should pay attention to this complex, and who should see a doctor first? — ICONFIT Joint Collagen Unflavored Supplement, 300 g

According to the manufacturer's description, the complex is aimed at people with an active lifestyle, sports enthusiasts and those who want to add ingredients supporting ligaments and mobility to their diet. It can also fit into the diet during periods of high strain on the knees and back, after long periods of sedentary work, or with age — when more attention is wanted for the musculoskeletal system.

However, there are situations where it is worth consulting a doctor before you start taking it:

• Shellfish allergy — glucosamine in most supplements is obtained from crustacean shells, so with this kind of allergy it is important to check the ingredients and their origin.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding — the safety of multi-ingredient supplements during these periods needs individual assessment.
• Ongoing use of medication — some ingredients (for example, high doses of vitamin C, or minerals) can interact with medicines.
• Chronic conditions — especially those related to the kidneys, liver or metabolism.

This is a food supplement, not a medicine. It is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent disease.
