Results of the Framingham Arthritis study were recently published in the New England Journal of Medicine. Among the findings was confirmation that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate could reduce symptoms of moderate to severe arthritis by 20%, on par with drugs such as Celebrex. Unlike Celebrex or other drugs, however, glucosamine and chondroitin are inexpensive and have few side effects.
