Glucosamine and Chondroitin
for Joint Pain
Daily glucosamine sulphate (1500mg) and/or chondroitin sulphate (1200mg) supplementation for knee and hip osteoarthritis.
How it works
Glucosamine is a building block of cartilage. Chondroitin may inhibit enzymes that break down cartilage. Both may have mild anti-inflammatory effects in joint tissue.
What to watch for
Evidence is mixed â some large trials show no benefit over placebo. Most effective in people with moderate-to-severe knee pain. Quality varies between products. Shellfish allergy relevant for glucosamine.
