Glucosamine and exercise enhance arthritis treatmentNutrition supplementation combined with exercise versus exercise alone in treating knee osteoarthritis: a double-blinded, randomised, placebo-controlled trial.
We sought to determine whether a combination of a nutrition supplement, including glucosamine and chondroitin, along with supervised exercise, is more effective for knee osteoarthritis than exercise alone.
In a six-month double-blinded trial involving 65 participants, those who took the supplement experienced significant improvements in pain and stiffness earlier compared to those receiving a placebo.
This suggests that using glucosamine chondroitin supplementation along with exercise could be a more efficient treatment strategy for arthritis in the knee.

I regularly purchase this medication for my mother, aged 69, who has suffered from arthritis for over 15 years. She is very pleased with its effects, which surpass those of sulfasalazine, with fewer side effects. She takes it for two months, then has a break for two months while continuing Boswellia. After her first dose, she felt relief by the seventh day. Now, her hand joints are less inflamed and more comfortable.
