A member asked:
Is it true that eating more cartilage (not in sharks) helps bone and joint health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glucosamine: Glucosamine and chondroitin, two components of cartilage, are commonly used as supplements to help with bone and joint health. Although it has received a lot of popular acclaim, there has been little rigorous testing to see if it is effective. At best, it seems to be not harmful and might be helpful.
