A member asked:
My dad (82) has been taking chondroitin (plus others) for 2 years for arthritis. had prostate cancer 9 years go - is this ok with his history?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unclear: The relationship between chondroitin and prostate cancer is unclear. A few studies suggested an association between the two, but a clear cause-effect relationship has never been established, and other studies don’t show any association at all. At this time, it’s hard to make a strong recommendation either way, just understand that a health risk can’t be ruled out.
