It seems that Glucosamine and chondriotin work to decrease pain in those who suffer osteoarthritis and other debilitating degenerative joint processes. If we can know exactly what forms work, how, and in what dosage then the more efficient they can be administered. This can only be for the better, especialy for those on limited incomes.
My apologies if I offended. I was only trying to add to the conversation not diminish it. I feel it is my obligation to add information to the community in any way I can be it direct experience or points to take into consideration-
Respectfully
(edit grammar)

You didn't offend! I doubt that any of the people you are addressing are so thin skinned as to take offense at your study based beliefs.
You may have read the thread I created re using "piano wire" as suture matrerial during Vietnam. Irregardless, I had several wounds which I was told would result in traumatic arthritis years down the road. I was too young to accept that advice, but I certainly relate at this stage of my life. I went to the VA with significant shoulder pain, I had a difficult time moving my right arm above my head, I was hoping for a diagnosis of Rotator Cuff injury, but after X-rays I was informed that I had Degenerative Joint Disease, bone on bone, no cartilege left. I had to give up Racquetball, but after taking G and C for a goodly portion of time I again was able to play again...I have given up the sport again because of my knees.
Nancy too has led a pretty rugged life resulting in two spinal fusions from I believe, L3 to S something, she too has significant pain, and she firmly believes that G and C helps. All subjective I know, but...
