I have been taking glucosamine and condroitin for 40 years. It has kept me on my feet and avoid knee replacement. I am not going to stop it now. I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my mid 20's. I am now 68.

I have been using 1500 MG Glucosamine Sulfate from Costco for about half the time of your usage. It was recommended by a friend and I was told to use it for at least 2 weeks. Even prior to that the severe pain I had with my R achiles tendon was eliminated. However, when stopping usage, the pain immediately returned and so I have never stopped using the product and likely never will but I might do another test to see if the issue has totally disappeared over the years.

I'm 73 years old. I don't have arthritis. I run. I'm physically active. I do take Glucosamine and chondroitin. My study is my aging body. When I don't take it for a month or two my knees and hips hurt and keep me from running and even from long walks. When I get back on the glucosamine and chondroitin, after a few weeks the pain diminishes to no pain at all. I can sprint, top speed, the joy of flying on my feet. I feel good in my body. It feels great to feel good. That's my personal research. Onward.

I've heard similar stories from a number of runners. Glucosamine works. Chondroitin is unnecessary.

@heleneikerenkotter2950 3 месяца назад

I would never take this supplement as a solo. They work better in combination. The better supplements come in combination and made with Glucosamine sulfate and Chondroitin sulfate and not Glucosamine and Chondroitin hydrochloride . These are not drugs and represent the vital structure of joint tissue itself. It also promotes resiliency of other flexible tissue such as skin , arteries ,veins and heart valves. This is information found on the container of my supplement and the maker does not mess with supplements that are useless. He does years of studies before he makes the product. My husband and I both take and notice a difference when we stop. If you are allergic to the shells of shellfish ( shrimp, crab and crawfish ) do not take. Look at most studies that discourage supplements and encourage OTC or steroid injection with jaundiced eye. You have to take this supplement for a period of time to notice a difference. This is not a quick fix. This is not instant pain relief and temporary . It takes time to ruin joints and it takes time for them to heal and repair.

For me, glucosamine was a miracle. But probably not for everyone. I started a job delivering meat in my 50's. I would jump off the back of the truck, trying to give the impression I was young again. After a few months, my hand and knee joints were extremely stiff and painful in the morning when I woke up. I started taking glucosamine and it brought immediate relief. Because I had worked these joints for only a few months, maybe it would be different for say a carpet layer or bricklayer, who may have done it all their lives. I kept taking them, even after leaving the job after 10 months. After three years I changed brands and it seemed to produce blood thinning and low blood pressure, so I ceased taking the glucosamine. Amazingly, I felt as good as I did prior to doing the job.

@BillyG869 5 месяцев назад

In 1993 my wife and got rear ended by a truck on the freeway. After that my neck was trashed, so painful it literally limited me to muscle relanta and pain pills. Months after doctors, orthopedic surgeons and eventually chiropractors. Then I started taking a very heavy does of glucosamine/chondroitin. It took a few months to take hold, but eventually I believe my cartilage became more functional and possibly repaired itself. That is a fact and it made me functional once again. I’m now 77 work hard and take little meds. If I were to sustain another damaged joint, I would immediately turn to this supplement once again. It takes a steady intake of a sizable dose, and it takes several months to recognize its effects. See for yourself…

I also have been taking glucosamine and chondroitin with MSM since 1998 ! At that time I was suffering with pain and stiffness in my right hip, my family doctor ordered a X-ray and found that I had moderate to severe joint degenaration in my hip. He suggested that I could try glucosamine and chondroitin with MSM. I also would see Chiropractors for neck & hip adjustments. After about 3 weeks I could feel my mobility had improved as well much less pain . Not only did I get improvement in my hip but also my neck issues disappeared. Just to mention that Veterinarians also prescribe glucosamine and chondroitin to horses & dogs that have mobility problems where noticeable improvement is seen ! One more thing that I think needs to be said is that glucosamine and chondroitin won't work if your joint is bone to bone.

@Southprong59 5 месяцев назад

I have a bad case of osteoarthritis in my knee and took Glucosamine & Chondroitin pills for approximately 30 years and it helped somewhat. Then I switched to a liquid Glucosamine & Chondroitin approximately 18 years ago and it made a big difference. I experimented a couple of times by stopping my intake of Glucosamine & Chondroitin for 3-4 days and my pain increased. Obviously, you body absorbs liquids more readily than tablet forms; if you use Glucosamine & Chondroitin, I highly recommend trying the liquid form.

Great video! I have psoriatic arthritis. I’m on a biologic. I also have developed chondromalacia patella. These supplements I assume are tested by themselves not with any added rehab exercises.

Several years ago my left knee hurt so much I couldn't go up stairs. I saw a knee surgeon who said nothing can be done and I should schedule knee replacement. I asked to have a PT appointment. He said 90% of my knee pain would go away in 3 months if I did the ankle and hip exercises he recommended. I did and my knees are still pain free. I use Glucosamine and MSM just for insurance. I regularly do the ankle and hip exercises. My hips and ankles were extremely weak before doing the exercises. Bottom line, define the problem before scheduling treatment.

My experience taking Condroitin and glucosamine (g & c)together took time (several months ) but performed 3 repairs for me . 1/ I had a tear in my miniscus (knee) causing clicking and locking up with pain . 2/ My big toe was locking up and bending my foot in normal or quick walking was very painful . 3/ I tore a tendon in my little finger knuckle . By taking g & c 2 times per day for 4 months my toe suddenly made a loud click . I exercised it back an forth further clicking . I was able to walk and run again without restriction and pain . My knee stopped locking up and clicking after 6 months . I stopped taking my 2 doses and my toe locked up again after 2 months so I took g & c again and it disappeared in days . I would take g & c for 2 days whenever my toe would lock up . My knee remained healthy for nearly 11 years when after kneeling on a hard floor for 5 minutes doing repairs I acquired a new clicking not miniscus but more like a tendon that was sliding out of its normal place and rubbing badly . Im working on that with g & c and limiting the incorrect sliding by using elastic bandage when exercising now . I also had the same issue in my little finger knuckle . I would bend it but could not straighten it . I wrapped it to keep the tendon from sliding to the side of the knuckle and took g&c and in 2 months regained normal function . Glucosamine with Chondroitin has helped me fix tendon /ligament damage , arthitic joint lock (big toe) and repaired a torn miniscus in my knee so far . I would say that it has really helped make repairs in my body . After its already in my system , I only take it when joint damage occurs for brief periods . It seems to work for a few months after . I feel that it is helping the damage to reattach itself and mend back to its normal .

Sudden onset of arthritis in my k red was extremely painful. Tried nsaids, then knee injections with steroid once then two injections with hyaluroninase gel. First gave some improvement. Wore off in a few weeks. Second was not terribly successful, needed, nsaid. Started combination Glucosamine/Chondroitin and relief started in about 3 weeks, and is better entering my second month. I am walking, with my dog which was difficult, not getting pain at rest bit driving, can do more squats and horse stance posture workouts , and able to perform martial arts kicking again.

Great video. It’s really helpful to get the most up-to-date studies. I was wondering if you could do a review on a recent treatment for the arthritis call GAE. Genicular artery embolization. It is a technique developed in Japan, where they insert a catheter into your artery and inject a dye to pen point inflammation inside the knee joint. Then they release small particles to block the arteries, feeding the vascularization. some of the data coming out of UCLA. Impressive up to three years. I was just wondering if you had any thoughts. I’m currently doing PRP with hyaluronic acid injections staggered. I’m wondering if this new GAE could be an adjunct for me. Thanks

@JeffreyPengMD Год назад

Genicular artery embolization and genicular nerve ablations are promising treatments but need to be studied more. These would be more for symptomatic relief and would not have the disease modifying effects (to my knowledge) that PRP may potentially have. I think it's an option worth exploring if other treatments have not worked and someone does not want a knee replacement surgery. My go to treatments right now include a combination of some or all of the following: diet, exercise (cardio+strength), PRP injections, supplements, and potentially trigger point injections if myofascial trigger points are present.

What are the best brands

@newyorkguy158 Год назад

My story is interesting. I was developing OA in my right hip from the mid 1990's on, but I thought it was a muscle problem. The pain was never in the hip, but in the inner thigh. By 2001, I was in severe pain and limping badly. A rheumatologist diagnosed mild to moderate OA and said I would need a hip replacement within 5 years. He asked me if I wanted a referral to a surgeon. I told him that I had just started to take glucosamine and wanted to see if it would work. Within a week of taking it, my pain was totally gone in all normal activities, sitting, walking, standing and sleeping. For the next 14-15 years, glucosamine worked for me, but not all brands. For example, the CVS brand did not work. During this entire period, I only experienced pain infrequently and then only for one to a few minutes. I felt normal. I would often sprint to catch a bus or race down the stairs to catch a train with no pain. I didn't always take glucosamine with chondroitin. Often, I took glucosamine by itself and it worked very well. I concluded that chondroitin was of no help for pain. Some of the products had proprietary ingredients like bromelain and other anti-inflammatories, but not all. I can't judge the effectiveness of the proprietary formulas, since they all contained glucosamine, 1500 mgs. The form of glucosamine did not matter. I want to emphasize that brand mattered. Glucosamine is a large molecule and you need a formulation that can be absorbed into the joint. You have to try things. My advice is to not go cheap. Some of the better products can run $40-50/month, but some in the $18-25 range worked equally well. There are often 2 for 1 sales with some products. Some products worked for a period of time like 2-3 years, then began to lose effectiveness. When that happened, I switched to other products and was lucky that several brands worked very well. After 14 years, I started to get some pain at times and none of the glucosamine products were left to try. I knew that I was going to need a hip replacement. I started to play sports again and sure enough I found myself in severe pain again, with no safe product to take. I got lucky though. I learned about hip resurfacing, a surgery in which the arthritis is fixed without removing the hip. I still have my original hip and it's strong enough to play any sport. I haven't had any pain since the surgery was healed. That was in 2018. Glucosamine can definitely work, though not necessarily for everyone, but you need to experiment with the brand. My experience was not unique. Also, it may work for the hip but not the knee, or vv. I would definitely do the exercises that Dr. Peng is demonstrating, and others. Thanks to Dr. Peng for this excellent video.

I knew I had arthritis in my knees and the specialist said I would need a knee replacement down the track. In February 23 I started weight lift training. I now have no pain in my knees and I have ditched the cane. The replacement diagnosis 10 years ago. The weight lifting has built up the muscles around the knees supports the knees.

@dcspangler8025 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for this post. I see that, along with the Glucosamine/Condroitin (G/C) some combinations include Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM). So how does this alter the equation? The majority of these supplements are manufactured using shellfish. There are some that are shellfish free, created by fermentation, I believe of corn. Further, what roll do GMO foods play? Both in causing inflammation in the first place and how the supplements manufactured with them differ in outcomes. Lastly, what about all the "other" ingredients? Magnesium stearate. stearic acid, etc. and how could they possibly alter the findings?

Microplastics and particle pollution - something we all have and cannot limit exposure to, lead to chronic inflamation. These have been found in umbilical cords so pass from mothers lungs into babies blood. We are setting ourselves up for shorter lives with more suffering. Ditching plastic and fossil fuels is needed to help our grandchildren.

Which makes of glucosamine with chondroitin are considered reliable?

@shrinandan3458 Год назад

Dr. Peng, Thanks for a very informative video. My personal experience is that the two meds when combined with MSM are very beneficial. I'm a 78 year old male with a family history of osteoarthritis. MSM definitely adds to the effectiveness. More studies should be done with the trifecta. I am living proof that it works.

And the next question would be whether the chondroitin could be supplanted by MSM? I've been taking glucosamine with MSM for 23 years. As always: "More studies are needed..."

@lynettamurdoch5443 7 месяцев назад

I used to take the combined glucosamine/chondroitin, but then read that the one of them - I don’t remember which one - made no difference in studies so I quit and started taking MSM/chondroitin(?). Eventually, I started taking only the MSM. I really don’t notice much difference with any of the combinations - or when used alone and may quit. I do take the fish oil, or krill oil. I think it helps - but mostly, my first noticeable difference was in my thinking/brain. Lately, I’ve discovered red light therapy and I’ve been using a band that wraps around my back, hip or knees, and recently, my shoulder. It has made the most noticeable difference.

Dr Peng thank you for your concise analysis. Joint pain relief outside of Opioids is necessary what is your recommendation. Many Arthritic and chronic joint pain patients are in need of something that is greater than placebo. Let me know.

I've been taking it for about 2 years now & i have to say i'm really impressed with the results.

Is the combination of glucosamine with chondroitin considered a chemical supplemental form of SHARK CARTILAGE? Has the above been found to regrow the missing cartilage from the affected joints?

@MadDawg-bp5wt 6 месяцев назад

The first study mentions was has no effect on 'short term' pain and function, the other studies appear to look at a longer view .... glucosamine & chondroitin is a long term play. After years of knee pain (not arthritis) it took a few months of glucosamine and chondroitin for the pain to leave, and function improve.

Can it help me with my hip impingement and SLAP recovery?

@robohippy 5 месяцев назад

Prior to getting bilateral hip replacement and one knee replacement, I tried several different brands of each of clucosamine and chondritin, and as far as I could tell, they didn't do anything to relieving joint pain. It was long enough ago that I don't remember if I tried them together. There could be multiple reasons for them not working, including how severe my issues were.

@user-fh4xq2ig7z 6 месяцев назад

30 years ago I tore my ACL and got a classic bucket handle meniscus tear which was shaved smooth. Surgeon warned me I would have osteoarthritis there within 20 years. At year 19, the grinding started (great prediction by surgeon!). After confirming the arthritis with my doctor, I started taking glucosamine and chondrointin, but at 1/2 the recommended dosage. Within 6 months, the grinding went away and stayed quiet for 8 years. I did stop running (switched to cycling) and high impact exercises (I now teach indoor cycling and pilates). I did an accidental experiment when I tried to save money by buying gluchosamine without the chondrointin. Within 2 weeks, I had sharp pains start, so I added the chondrointin back, and the pain diminished within a month. I have now doubled my dose (which is the normal recommended daily dose) to maintain relatively pain-free living (as long as I avoid fast movements and high impacts). The combo really works! Are higher dosages than the recommended daily dosage safe?

That study is completely wrong. My Basset Hound has arthritis and nearly could not walk. We started giving her glucosamine & condroitin and she improved on the very first day. (We didn't tell her what it was, so no placebo effect :) ). She has been taking it for about 3 months and her improvement has been consistent and dramatic. She is running again.

In Britain the health authority declared its effects to be only as a placebo. My first thought was how does that explain its effects on animals?

@abradfordajb Год назад

I'm presently using a product from Solgar which combines, in 3 daily tablets, the recommended mg levels of these two nutrients, integrated with 1,500 mg MSM & 300 mg of their formulation of "Biocell Collagen II" (180 mg Hydrolyzed Collagen II, 48 mg Chondroitin Sulfate, 30 mg Hyaluronic Acid). I also drink a daily scoop of a collagen peptide powder mixed in water. My objective is focused on rebuilding cartilage rather than simply reduction in pain. Knee cartilage destruction results in damage to the meniscus. In theory the meniscus can heal, but degenerated cartilage will just continue to "grind" the meniscus like sand paper. So, the goal is to reduce degeneration of cartilage. I plan to continue on this formulation for 1 year and see where it takes me. My knee arthritis does not produce chronic pain, though most days low to moderate discomfort. I am 70 yo and exercise consistently including a return to measured weekly running. I am interested in reading your thoughts on this regimen. Thanks for your informative posts .... much appreciated.

I started with knee pain about three years ago, much physio, insoles for my flat feet and the pain came and went. in October of 2023 the pain retuned and I got an MRI scan in early 2022 , result onset of osteoarthritis, I've been recommended Glucosamine and have been told it could take up 6 to 8 weeks for the pain to go away. I'll try it and see if there is any improvement. If not I'll look to alternatives. Missing my bike riding a lot now.

@BradiKal61 5 месяцев назад

Started getting knee and joint pain in late 40s (after being put on statins for high cholesterol, and was told by friends that they felt statins were the problem). After stopping the statins mist of the effects seemes to decrease but not disappear. Doctor later recommended glucosamine & C) which Ive been on for almost 5 years and joint pain and weakness feels much better but I can't say my regimen is a guaranteed success. Thanks to Costco prices my G&C costs are low so I keep taking it. The recent discussion about unknown higher levels of microplastics in bottled water may explain a LOT of health issues and I hope THAT research ramps up immediately.

@bcrigg9388 Год назад

Greetings Dr. Peng. I watched the above video, as well as dozens of your other videos, including the video on Tumeric & Curcumin. Since both videos indicate potential benefits to inflammation & pain reduction, do you recommend taking; Tumeric & Curcumin As well as Glucosamine with Chondroitin?

@JeffreyPengMD Год назад

Both seem like low risk high upside and worth a try, especially turmeric/curcumin.

@BombedBadlandBrawl 7 месяцев назад

I take glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, hyaluronic acid, boswelia serrata, rosehip extract, curcumin, piperine and Type 1-2-3-5-10 collagen. I have no osteoarthritis or anything but just to keep my fitness intact. The recovery of joints is insane. After every hardcore workout, next day the joints feel like I haven't worked out in ages, I am ready to go another huge session.
