Both my wife and I have used this for the past 2 months and we have both noticed an improvement in our joint pain and flexibility. We use the Costco /Kirtland brand. http://arthritis.about.com/od/glucos...cosamineoa.htm There are hundreds of studies that say otherwise. My doctor also recommends it. ;-) Not really. It's more likely the placebo effect. Which, by the way, is a perfectly valid treatment if it works. The mind is an odd organ - there is a mind-over-matter component to it. However, working against double-blind studies, it's a 50/50 proposition which basically means it's effective if you believe it to be effective. Nothing wrong with that. I'd prefer to have my knees rubbed with gently heated extra-virgin olive oil by three or four extra-carefully selected non-virgin masseuses. I'm sure I'd feel much better after such treatment. The guys might not like you either. |
