A member asked:
Does taking glucosamine chondroitin help to fortify bone density in elderly people?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: This product is supposed to "loosen your joints" but it will not do anything to your bone density. Calcium and vitamin d are some supplements that can help with your bone.

No: Glucosamine and chondroitin are components of cartilage and have no relationship to bone metabolism or denisty. So no, they will have no effect.
