    根據National Institutes of Health的研究,glucosamine
和chondroitin對一般的關節炎患者是無效的. 但是可能(強調
可能)對中度及嚴重疼痛的患者有效,尚待實驗証實.

    對於沒病沒痛的人,或輕度疼痛的人,吃了等於是白吃.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chondroitin

Due to the popularity of the glucosamine-chondroitin supplement and the lack
of reliable information about its usefulness in treating osteoarthritis,[8]
the National Institutes of Health funded a study to test the effects of
chondroitin and glucosamine on osteoarthritis of the knee. This multicenter,
placebo-controlled, double-blind, six month long trial found that glucosamine
plus chondroitin had no statistically significant effect on symptoms of
osteoarthritis.[9] The control group of patients who took celecoxib (a
commonly used osteoarthritis drug) did have a statistically significant
improvement in their symptoms. These results indicate that glucosamine and
chondroitin do not effectively relieve osteoarthiritic pain. Although the
study found no overall effect for the supplements, a secondary analysis
concluded that the supplements taken together may be effective for a subgroup
of people with moderate-to-severe pain, although further research is
necessary to confirm this.
