That combination is supposed to be beneficial for your joint health.

Perhaps you can find some useful information in a web search for glucosamine + choindroitin + "joint health".

Its meant too after a long period of time. up to about 4 months or so. glucosamine builds back up the joint and cartalidge. where as chondroitin puts fluid between joints to keep them supple.
you cant take glucosamine if your allergic to shelfish as its based on shelfish and you cant take it if your diabetic.
it has been proven to work but it can take up to 4months to work and every body is diff. you would need a very strong dose,Id say about 3000mg of glucosamine at least daily. Its not harmful too take large doses as its natural. its only harmful if your diabetic or allergic to shellfish.

They provide the building blocks to replace and and maintain good interfaces between the bones in the joints.
They are taken over the long term
Animal studies have shown benefits. And my vet has me give it to my dogs once they reach about 8 years of age. I take it even tho’ my MD is not impressed – She concurs that It won’t hurt might help.

Yes, they will help. But they work best when combined with other ingredients that aid in joint support. Hyaluronic Acid has been shown to benefit joints, as well as boswellia, and other herbs. Try this site- http://www.bend-ease.com
