InterestNeutral interest
The posts show moderate interest, with some individuals considering or mentioning supplements, but others dismiss or question their utility, indicating mixed curiosity.
EngagementLow engagement

Abstract in brief
Chondroitin may help reduce pain in osteoarthritis patients, especially in knee cases, with recent trials showing statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements in pain scores.
The systematic review analyzed 43 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 10,000 participants, comparing chondroitin to placebos or other medications like NSAIDs, glucosamine, and herbal supplements, with trial durations ranging from 1 month to 3 years.
While chondroitin shows beneficial effects on pain, the overall evidence is mixed, and more research is needed to fully understand its safety and effectiveness compared to other treatments.
Glucosamine/chondroitin supplements may do more harm than good. https://t.co/yMRsB7VavC https://t.co/qsb6O8Vwmr

@jemappellelala @funny_golliwog Вон, вам даже кохрановская база (священная корова сектантов от российского псевдодокмеда) говорит, что эффект хондроитина, вероятно, статистически значим и отличается от плацебо https://t.co/joo8er40Gg
@theliverdr Taking Glucosamine and Chondroitin supplements for Osteoarthritis has NOT been shown to be effective. Also both are produced naturally in the human body and, the supplements are rather expensive❗

Recent guidelines recommend against the use of glucosamine or chondroitin for osteoarthritis (OA). Large publicly supported trials have failed to show that, compared with placebo, these compounds relieve pain in persons with disease.

Have folks used or recommended this? How effective have people found it?
Stop advertising glucosamine and chondroitin for osteoarthritis! It is a scam! The public must be protected! One of many scientific facts is here:

@RadioFreeTom Harvard and Mayo sites say it is very safe, but efficacy not well established. I suppose no one would run expensive trials on a generic.
Here's a meta-analysis of literature, conclusion at end of the abstract.
Caveat: I do genetics not this!
