Arthritis

Well you know how popular supplements have been lately. We all take them and hope they help with our ailments, but a new study funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at the National Institutes of Health, shows that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate, two supplements used to fight arthritis and joint pain doesn’t work any better than placebo to slow the loss of knee cartilage in osteoarthritis.

Dr. Allen Sawitzke of the University of Utah School of Medicine, said: “At two years, no treatment showed what we determined to be a clinically important reduction in joint space width loss.”
