JOURNAL ARTICLES:
Glucosamine Administration in Athletes: Effects on Recovery of Acute Knee Injury (Research in Sports Medicine 2007)
Glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate as therapeutic agents for knee and hip osteoarthritis. (Drugs Aging. 2007)
Glucosamine for pain in osteoarthritis: Why do trial results differ? (Arthritis Rheum. 2007) "CONCLUSION: Heterogeneity among trials of glucosamine is larger than would be expected by chance. Glucosamine hydrochloride is not effective. Among trials with industry involvement, effect sizes were consistently higher. Potential explanations include different glucosamine preparations, inadequate allocation concealment, and industry bias."
Meta-analysis: Chondroitin for Osteoarthritis of the Knee or Hip (Annals 2007) "Conclusions: Large-scale, methodologically sound trials indicate that the symptomatic benefit of chondroitin is minimal or nonexistent. Use of chondroitin in routine clinical practice should therefore be discouraged."
