Joint nutrition is one of the most important supplements for every athlete. The joints often take a beating and without effective protection they are at high risk of injury. I have always been an advocate of Alavis until I discovered Kloubus on the supplement market.
Do you know what it is? Is it worth investing in? Is it better than Alavis, or is it just a wasted investment? All this and much more you will find out in the following review.
Content of the review
I have to say right off the bat that I've never had any staggering problems with my joints, but from time to time, fatigue from training does show up. When I felt pain in my knees again recently, I figured it was the perfect time to do a monthly cycle of this new joint nutrition. So here is my review.
Benefits in points:
- The joint is easy to prepare
- Contains 13 effective and proven ingredients
- Tastes great compared to other joint formulas
- Contains no artificial colours or controversial sweeteners
- You don't have to swallow several tablets a day
Easy and hassle-free preparation
The very first feature that I rate really positively is the easy and hassle-free preparation. No need for a shaker or blender, just dump the contents of the bag into a glass, stir with a spoon and Kloubus is completely dissolved.
It doesn't form lumps or foam, so it's ready to eat in seconds.
A really effective formula
You won't find any unnecessary or ineffective ingredients in this joint food, but 13 really working ingredients. In one dose you will find:
- 2730mg of hydrolysed collagen, which is the cornerstone for strong and flexible cartilage.
- 1760mg of glucosamine sulphate, which prevents the loss of articular cartilage
- 500mg of MSM, which improves healing and has anti-inflammatory effects
- 320mg of chondroitin sulphate, which binds water to increase the resistance, strength and flexibility of cartilage
- 250mg of vitamin C for a strong immune system and improved collagen production
- 70mg of magnesium, which contributes to bone and tendon building
- 50mg bromelain, which reduces joint pain and swelling
- 50mg of l-leucine for better muscle growth around joints and therefore better fixation and less stress on them
- 10mg of hyaluronic acid to lubricate the joints
- 5mg of zinc, which helps calcium, collagen and protein synthesis
- 100μg of biotin, which is essential for the proper functioning of ligaments and tendons
- 5μg of vitamin D3, which is important for strong bones and healthy teeth
The individual ingredients probably don't need to be discussed in detail, if you are interested you can read about them on the official website.
Proof of the high quality of the supplement for the average consumer may be the fact that in one 9g dose you will find the following6g of active ingredients and no controversial sweeteners (aspartame or acesulfame K) or artificial flavourings. Beetroot extract has been used for colouring and sucralose for sweetening.
Such a composition makes Kloubus a first-class joint nutrition that will be among the absolute leaders on the market.
A taste that is guaranteed to please
I have always been of the opinion that dietary supplements are drunk for their effect, not for their taste. However, Kloubus is available in a grapefruit flavour that I was really excited about. Having been used to Alavis for a long time, this is a very nice change.
The taste is not artificial or unnecessarily over-sweetened so that the manufacturer covers up the bitter products, in short everything is tuned just right. However, it is important to mention again that taste is the last thing to consider when choosing a joint food.
For the average exerciser, the relatively high price
Lest you get the feeling from the review so far that I got paid to praise this joint nutrition, it does have one flaw. And that is the price.
While you will pay +/- for a monthly Alavis bout, a monthly bout of Kloubus comes out to . However, like multivitamins or multiminerals, you should never skimp on joint nutrition. It's always better to pay extra for quality supplements than to just throw money away on cheap and unprofitablesupplements with "proprietary blends" and minimal active ingredients.
Final assessment
If I were to overlook the higher price, Kloubus is the best joint nutrition I have ever tried. Great taste, really effective formula with minimal additives, easy preparation and quick absorption.
I would recommend Kloubus to any of you who don't want to endure the nasty taste of it.of some competing joint formulas, or swallow several different tablets a day.
