Glucosamine

Will glucosamine pill help my arthritis pain?
 

The honest answer NO. Glucosamine is available in many health food stores and many healthcare practitioners advocate its use. Unfortunately, there is ZERO clinical data indicating that it works. It is a complete waste or money and should be considered a fraud. 

Never go to any healthcare provider who recommends glucosamine for arthritis-either he/she has shares in the product or they are stupid. Do you really believe for one second that after eating a pill containing cartilage, it will selectively deposit in your knee joint? 

Wishful thinking that is perpetuated by dishonest healthcare professionals.
