Can glucosamine supplement to prevent future joint problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence for this: Glucosamine & chondroitin are supplements that some believe help osteoarthritis pain; studies have shown mixed results; the american academy of orthopedic surgeons recommend against prescription of these for knee oa as a randomized controlled trial showed no benefit; there is no evidence at present to show they can prevent future joint problems; stay active, injury free, and keep your weight down.
