High-strength vegan glucosamine and chondroitin complex to support joint mobility
LAMBERTS Glucosamine Complete provides a full 1400mg of glucosamine sulphate per three-tablet daily dose, the level most commonly used in clinical studies. It's made with GlucosaGreen, the world's first commercially available glucosamine produced through direct fermentation, rather than traditional shellfish sources.
This comprehensive formula also delivers 330mg of Phytodroitin, a plant-origin alternative to chondroitin made from seaweed extracts, alongside quercetin, ginger and rose hip. LAMBERTS provides clearly stated levels of chondroitin, with the formula offering carefully considered potencies for comprehensive joint support.
Why choose a vegan glucosamine complex?
Standard glucosamine and chondroitin are usually derived from shellfish, ruling them out if you're vegan, vegetarian or have a shellfish allergy. GlucosaGreen and Phytodroitin offer a bioequivalent, plant-based alternative without compromising on potency. This makes it a considered choice if you want a full-strength joint formula that fits a plant-based lifestyle.
Key benefits:
Supports joint cartilage: Glucosamine and chondroitin are both structural components of your cartilage, supporting joint comfort.
Rich in antioxidant quercetin: A potent 50mg dose of quercetin, a bioflavonoid naturally found in fruit and vegetables.
Enhanced with ginger and rose hip: Ginger is a popular companion to glucosamine, while rose hip contributes to normal collagen formation.
Fully vegan-friendly formula: Made using GlucosaGreen and Phytodroitin, avoiding shellfish-derived ingredients entirely.
Who is this supplement suitable for?
This supplement may be a good choice if you want a high-strength, vegan-friendly formula to support your joint comfort and mobility. It's suitable for vegetarians and vegans, and particularly useful if you have a shellfish allergy that rules out traditional glucosamine and chondroitin supplements.

Glucosamine is a naturally occurring chemical that is a major building block of joints and cartilage. Currently, most glucosamine supplements are manufactured by processing chitin from the shells of shellfish, including shrimp, lobsters, and crayfish.
Why the need for change?
Unfortunately, this sourcing has several drawbacks – given that the process requires large volumes of water, chemicals and of course, shellfish. In addition, the process generates waste by-products including large volumes of solid waste, water waste plus a staggering 71 tCO2 per ton of glucosamine produced. Coupled with religious and vegan dietary restrictions, plus shellfish allergies, Lamberts embarked on a mission for change, sourcing an alternative, yet equally efficacious, raw material.
What is GlucosaGreen, and how is it made?
GlucosaGreen is produced by a direct-fermentation process with a starting material of glucose, derived from non-GMO corn. Using a patented micro-organism as a processing aid, the technology efficiently transforms glucose into glucosamine; virtually eliminating the environmental impact inherent to chitin-derived shellfish production.
Is GlucosaGreen as effective as shellfish glucosamine?
GlucosaGreen has been verified by laboratory testing to demonstrate bioequivalence to all forms of shellfish glucosamine and has achieved official certification from Novel Food, establishing it as a suitable equivalent.
What is chondroitin typically sourced from?
Chondroitin supplements are frequently recommended alongside glucosamine, and it is common for this nutrient to be supplied alongside glucosamine within specialist formulas. Unfortunately, chondroitin sulphate supplements generally comprise shark cartilage – a process that’s both carbon-intensive and drives shark species into extinction, coupled with an end-product that is unsuitable for vegan consumption. Lamberts has always insisted on using a bovine source; however, more recently, we are proud to have found a superior alternative.
What is Phytodroitin and how is it made?
Manufactured from a blend of seaweed extracts, Phytodroitin is a plant-based alternative to chondroitin, formulated with purpose-grown botanical ingredients to ensure quality, purity, and sustainability.
