The product comes from an EU country important (France), for me! The taste is well-known to me from another glucosamine powder. However, I know the dosage differently: 50 g Glucosamine I mix with 0,5 l boiled water 60 degrees and Conserve with some ascorbic acid (vitamin C). Sweetener to and every day there is a small shot glass full. (The potion keeps in the refrigerator a good three weeks).
