Use of glucosamine with or without chondroitin was associated with reduced total mortality and with reductions of several broad causes of death. Although bias cannot be ruled out, these results suggest that glucosamine may provide some mortality benefit.

For most of the supplements we examined, there was no association with total mortality. Use of glucosamine and use of chondroitin were each associated with decreased total mortality.
Only problem : longevity effect is absent when feeded with antioxidants like NAC, i wonder if ibuprofen is an antioxidant.

"To test whether the increase in ROS is essential for a GlcN [glucosamine]-mediated extension of life span, we repeated the initial life span experiment in the presence of the antioxidants butylated hydroxy anisole (BHA) and N-acetyl-cystein (NAC), respectively. Although neither BHA nor NAC had a detectable effect on C. elegans life span in the absence of GlcN, the life span-extending capabilities of GlcN were nullified in the presence of BHA or NAC"
This site think otherwise :
The study authors believe that anti- oxidants interfere with glucosamine life span extension. We don’t

Humans who took glucosamine + chondrointe wich is an antioxidant still saw their lifespan increased.

Do ibuproen act as a pro or anti oxidant ?
