Great hope for the future
There is a great deal of information in the literature about glucosamine and chondroitin combination supplements. Both compounds are part of cartilage, which forms a cushion between bones of a joint. As you age the cushions erode and the result is skeletal pain virtually everywhere- osteoarthritis. Both glucosamine and chondroitin are part of normal cartilage. MSM is a sulphur compound which aids in to the efficacy of glucosamine and chondroitin and the three compounds work synergistically together.<br /><br />That having been said, I am a good guinea pig being both very old (85) and very arthritic. I am also aware that if the mind decides a supplement is going to work-any supplement- the mind  affects the cure, not the supplement. That is why in some cases, test people taking a placebo have just as good a result as the people taking the supplement. However, the Mayo Clinic researchers gave a glucosamine sulphate supplement a grade of “B” meaning that there is good scientific evidence for its ability to lessen the pain in the knee. They specify that positive results were only obtained for the knee.<br /><br /> Glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM  are a combination  that is for many effective in treating osteoarthritis, muscle damage caused by exercise, and other inflammatory joint disorders. There is plenty of anecdotal evidence for osteoarthritis relief, but until more scientific information is available, the thing to do, especially if you're elderly, is take and trust the Viva Lab's glososamine-chondroitin- MSM combo, and if you're young get on the bandwagon and start taking it, too. This supplement is guaranteed to help your achy bones.<br /><br />I have only been taking this glucosamine combo for two days but will report back later on how my osteoarthritis situation fares when confronted with this supplement.. I will add a fifth star when I get frisky.
