The second part of a long-awaited study of how well the dietary supplements glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate slow cartilage loss in patients with arthritis reaches the same conclusion as the first part: The pills didn't work.
The two-year study, conducted at eight universities, found that the popular supplements didn't do any better than sugar pills in slowing the rate of cartilage loss in the knees of patients with arthritis.
This was the second part of a very large study funded by the National Institutes of Health called GAIT (Glucosamine/chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial). The first, published in 2006 in The New England Journal of Medicine, found that the supplements had no effect.

Yep, zero proof for chondroitin. However, I'm not sure if pain reduction is worth mentioning, it needs to stop disease progression.Haven't there been some decent studies saying that glucosamine reduced pain in OA? My recollection is that it's about as good as ibuprofen. As I recall, chondroitin was never shown to do much of anything.

So what is effective against arthritis? Or is it just as simple as a good diet and exercise staving it off in older age.

There are more than a few posts in bodybuilding forums claiming good
results with cissus quadrangularis for joint pain. Perhaps this is another
herb that Anthony will produce a high quality extract for.
