I have been competing in USMS meets for the last 14 years. During that time frame, I have have some persistent shoulder and knee problems. Recently, I trained and competed in my first triathlon. My knee problems really flared up badly during the running training. So I took a short break from running and at the same time started taking a Glucosamine - Chondroitin supplement. After about three weeks of taking the supplement, all of the pain disappeared, not only in my knees, but also in my shoulder and lower back. I even stopped taking ibuprofin. My performance in the triathlon was well beyond what I expected, especially in the run. Has anyone else had so much success with this supplement?

A meta-analysis of all placebo-contolled clinical trials of the supplement (1980-2002) was published in the July 2003 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine. A meta-analysis involves pooling the data from multiple small studies and applying statistical analysis to the results. This approach is used in the absence of larger studies. The authors concluded that the supplement is effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.
