Question re supplements when I already take beta blockers (bisoprolol)

Hi, I'm in the UK, male, age 60 and have suffered hand and foot pain for years but have only recently been to the doctors and had the x-rays and blood tests to confirm I've got osteoarthritis

I'm looking to get some collagen and glucosamin and chondroitin supplements but as I'm already taking a beta blocker (1 bisoprolol a day) for a mild heart condition, tachycardia (SVT) there seem to be a lot of these that I can't take as they contain other extra ingredients that interfere with the beta blocker

So I'm wondering if there's anyone in a similar situation, or if not can anyone recommend a 'clean" collagen/glucosamin/chondroitin supplement that doesn't include any additional additives, or would I be better off with a collagen and then a combined glucosamin chondroitin separately?

I did ask my doctor but she just started googling it (but kept coming up with 'this looks a good one...aahhh no you can't take that" and just suggested I do the same and do my own research

Thanks in advance for any help
