[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 4646, member: 3"] Simplest way to phrase the interaction of supplemental glucosamine on knee/hip osteoarthritis is: "We're pretty damn sure it does something, we're not so sure on [I]how much[/I] it does; regardless of how much it does, taking glucosamine for a longer period of time and using sulfate is better than short periods of time and taking hydrochloride" It is a way to phrase the consistently present statistical significance, but seemingly unreliable and possibly industry influenced clinical significance. Glucosamine is better than nothing, but it by itself probably isn't going to be magically effective for reducing osteoarthritic symptoms. It would need to be paired with other protective factors (exercise, a low inflammatory diet, perhaps other supplements, etc.) [URL="http://examine.com/user/KurtisFrank/"]Kurtis Frank[/URL] If you increase a car's efficiency from 40mpg to 42mpg, you can accurately say that its efficiency has improved. But is it really notable? That is the crux of glucosamine - it helps with osteoarthritis, but not by much. So if you go in knowing that, you should be okay.
