A NEW study published
in the Annals of Rheumatic
Diseases has demonstrated that
the glucosamine-chondroitin
combination conferred a benefit for
osteoarthritis patients.
The study was a double-blind
randomised placebo-controlled
clinical trial with two year follow up.
605 participants aged 45 to
75 years with chronic knee pain
and evidence of medial tibiofemoral
compartment narrowing
or joint space narrowing (JSN) were
included in the research.
Dosing was 1500 mg of
glucosamine sulfate and 800 mg of
chondroitin sulfate.
A statistically significant reduction
in JSN at two years was recorded
for the treated group supporting
previous studies with this
combination.
