Nutraceutical: Glucosamine
Indication: Osteoarthritis (OA)
Source: 73rd Annual Scientific Meeting of the American College of Rheumatology.
Research: Researchers studied 201 men and women, average age 52, with mild to moderate knee pain due to osteoarthritis. Participants were randomly assigned to take either 1500 milligrams of glucosamine hydrochloride or a placebo once daily. MRI scans and X-rays were taken of both knees in the beginning of the study and six months later.
Results: At the end of the six months, the odds of having worsening cartilage damage were the same in both groups. There was also no significant difference in the chance of having worsening bone damage.
