Breakthrough NIH government study finds that they outperform prescription drugs

A drug-free approach to treating aching and stiff joints turns out to be your best bet after all. In one of the largest studies of its kind—five years, 1500 patients—the Glucosamine/Chondroitin Arthritis Intervention Trial sponsored by the government’s National Institutes of Health, came to some significant conclusions. When combined, these joint supplements can be more effective than common prescription pain medications, as well as over-the-counter pain relievers, in treating moderate to severe knee pain.

Great news for anyone suffering from joint discomfort.
