Glucosamine Supplementation May Provide Pain Relief And Improved Function
Recently, a research study was conducted to determine if glucosamine supplementation had any effect on the functional ability and pain level of individuals who had regular knee pain possibly caused from previous articular cartilage damage and osteoarthritis. For 12 weeks, subjects were randomly supplementing with either glucosamine or a placebo. Based on questionnaires and tests done during and at the end of the trial, the overall results suggest that glucosamine can provide some degree of pain relief and improved function.
